Is any substance that occupies space and has mass(weight)
Matter
Is the simplest form of chemical matter and contains only one type of atom/can’t be broken down into a simpler substance without a loss of identity
Elements
There are _____ elements known to science today
118
___ elements occur naturally on Earth
98
Are the basic unit of matter/ with a nucleus at the center surrounded by negatively charged electrons that more around the nucleus in orbits
Atoms
Is a chemical combination of two or more atoms in definite(fixed) proportions
Molecules
Aka compounds/chemical combination of two or more atoms of different elements in fixed proportions
Compound molecules
Water and salt are examples of
Pure substances
A __is a physical combination of matter in any proportion
Physical mixture
___,____,&____ are all physical mixtures
Solutions, suspensions,& emulsions
The distinction between solutions, suspensions, and emulsions depends on the type of
Substance, size of particles, and the solubility of the substances
Is a stable uniform mixture of two or more substances
Solution
The ____ is the substance that is dissolved in a solution
Solute
The ____ is the substance that dissolves the solute and makes the solution
Solvent
Is known as the universal solvent because it has the ability to dissolve more substances than any other solvent
Water
Liquids are mutually soluble meaning they can be mixed together from solutions
Miscible
Liquids are not capable of being mixed together to form stable solutions
Immiscible
Unstable physical mixtures of undissolved particles in liquid/ contain larger and fewer miscible particles
Suspensions
Example of suspension
Glitter in nail polish, calamine lotion
Is an unstable physical mixture of two or more immiscible substances plus a special ingredient called an emulsifier
Emulsion
Is an ingredient that brings two normally incompatible materials together and bonds them into a uniform and fairly stable mixture
Emulsifier
Are substances that allow oil and water to mix or emulsify/ the molecule has 2 distinct parts
Surfactants
Head of the surfactant molecule/capable of combining with or attracting water
Hydrophilic
The tail of the surfactant molecule/ attraction to fat and oils
Lipophilic
