Boiling point
The temperature of a liquid where its vapor pressure is equal to the external atmospheric pressure
Melting point
The temperature at which a solid, if it gets enough heat, becomes a liquid.
Homogeneous mixture
A mixture with a uniform composition in which all components are in the same phase.
Hetrogeneous mixture
A mixture with a non-uniform composition whose components can be easily identified.
Element
Pure substance consisting of one type of atom
Compound
Pure substance consisting of two or more different elements
Pure substance
A substance that cannot be broken down into simpler components by physical methods.
Electrical conductor
A material that allows the flow of charge
Semiconductor
A substance that can conduct electricity under certain conditions, but not under other conditions, and which makes a good medium for the control/control of electric current
Insulator
A material that prevents the flow of charge
Thermal conductor
It is a material that easily transmits heat.
Thermal non-conductor (Insulator)
