something you cannot break into simpler parts using physical change
- Molecules and compounds
Molecules
A combination of two or more atoms
Compond
Two or more elements chamically combined
- Elements are specific amounts as seen in the chemical formula (ex, H2O)
- can only be broken down with chemical reactions
Mixture
Two or more substances physically combined in any amounts
- They do not change chemically
- Hetegeneous and homogeneous parts
Heregeneous mixture
Two or more substances arent evenly mixed you can see the diffrent parts
Homogeneous mixture
Two or more subtances that are evenly mixed you can not see the diffrent parts a solution
solution
A homogeneous mixture
