Physical properties
Any characteristic of a material that you can observe without changing the identity of the substances
Physical change
A change in size,shape,and matter the identity stays the same.
Chemical properties
characteristics of a substance that indicates it can change chemically
Chemical changes
a change of one substance into another
Solution
A homogeneous mixture of particles so small they cannot be seen with a microscope and do not settle
Suspension
A heterogeneous mixture in which visible particles settle
Adhesion
Adhesion is the ability to stick to other surfaces.
Cohesion
Cohesive is the ability to stick to itself
Colloid
A type of mixture with particles that are larger but still do not settle
Tyndall effect
This is caused by the light bouncing off the larger particles called the Tyndall effect
Condensation
The state of matter from the gas phase into the liquid phase.
Evaporation
The process of liquid turning into vapor.
