21
Q

What are Mixtures

A
  • Components are not in a specific ratio.
  • Components retain their unique properties
  • Component can be separated easily
22
Q

We get 2 different types of mixtures, what are they?

A
  1. Homogeneous mixture
  2. Heterogeneous mixtures
23
Q

What are Homogeneous mixtures?

A
  • Mixture with a uniform composition
  • Components are in the same phase state
  • The composition of the mixture will remain constant for a period of time.

Examples: air alloys, soft drinks

24
Q

What are Heterogeneous mixtures?

A
  • Mixture consisting of non-uniform particles.
  • Particles can be distinguished from each other.
  • Particles are not in the same phase state

Examples: Jar food, soft drinks with ice cubes in them, mixed vegetables, mud water, smoke.

25
Q

What are Pure substances?

A

Elements or compounds.

26
Q

What is a element?

A
  • A pure substance consisting of only one type of atom.
  • A substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances.
  • Particles cannot be broken down.
  • The smallest particle is an atom
27
Q

What are Compounds?

A
  • A pure substance consisting of 2 or more types of atoms that are chemically bonded.
  • A substance that can be broken down into smaller particles.
  • Particles can only be broken down by chemical means.
  • Smallest particle is a molecule or ion.
