element
substances that can’t be split into anything simpler by chemical means. Elements are made of only one type of atom.
molecule
contains at least two atoms chemically bonded to eachother
physical change
creates no new substances
are usually easy to reverse
absorb or release small amounts of energy
chemical change
create new substances
are usually difficult to reverse
absorb or release large amounts of energy
mixture
contains two or more different substances not chemically joined together
solute
a substance which is going to be dissolved
solvent
the liquid which is going to do the dissolving
solution
the resultant mixture of solute dissolved in solvent
soluble
a substance which can be dissolved
insoluble
a substance which cannot be dissolved
suspension
a solid floating in liquid because it cannot dissolve
saturation
a solution in which no more solute can be dissolved
How do we measure solubility?
g per 100g
properties of metals
malleable
electrical conductor
high density
solid at room temp
