FORMS OF MATTER CHEM TEST Flashcards
Matter
-Anything that has the same mass and volume
Homogenous
-All the same
-Pure and uniform
Heterogenous
-Not pure and uniform
-Different
Substances
-Any matter that is pure and uniform (homogenous)
-Two types can be elements and compounds
Elements
-The most basic form of matter that keeps its properties
-Homogenous
-All atoms of the same element have the same atomic number
-Symbol can either be a lone capital letter of one capital and one lowercase
Compounds
-A chemical combination with changed properties
-All samples of the same compound are homogenous and have a definite composition
Binary compound
-A compound consisting of 2 different elements
Monatomic element
-One type of circle
Diatomic Element
-2 of the same type of circle
Compound in a diagram
2 or more different circles combined
7 DIATOMIC ELEMENTS
-Hydrogen
-Nitrogen
-Fluorine
-Oxygen
-Iodine
-Chlorine
-Bromine
Mixtures
-Composed of two or more different substances that can be physically separated
-The proportions of components can be varied
-Each component in a mixture retains its original properties
Homogenous mixtures
-Matter that is pure and uniform
-Particles are evenly mixed and distributed
Ex. Salt water, chocolate milk
Heterogenous mixtures
-Particles are not evenly mixed or distributed (layered)
Ex. Oil and water
Filtration
-Seperate based on particle size
-The filter traps large particles while allowing smaller ones to pass through
-heterogenous only
Ex. Coffee filter
