Elements And Particles In Solutions Flashcards
Molecule
Formed when 2 or more atoms join (bond) together chemically
Is an element e.g. Hydrogen
Compound
When a molecule is made up of 2 or more different atoms e.g. water
Is an non-elements
Alloy
Mixture of 2 elements
Mixture
Contains 2 or more different substances mixed together but not chemically combined
Element
A substance that’s made up of only one type of atom.
In some elements, the atoms are separate to each other.
Chromotagraphy
A technique for the separation of mixtures by passing it in solution or suspension through a medium in which the components move at different rates.
Solution
A mixture of a solvent and solute e.g. sugar + water
Solvent
A liquid in which a solute dissolves
Solute
A substance that dissolves
Soluble
Solids that dissolve in a liquid e.g. salt + water = saltwater
Concentrated
Very little solvent
Lots of solute
Distillation
The action of purifying a liquid by a process of heating and cooling
Heating
Molecules gain more energy, bonds break down more quickly
Evaporation
Separation method to separate components of a mixture with a dissolved solid in a liquid leading to only the solid being left behind.
Filtration
Separate the components of a mixture containing an undissolved solid in a liquid by using a funnel lined with filter paper to retain the solids while letting the liquid through.
