Matter with a specific composition and specific properties.
It can be a single element or a chemical compound.

Q

What is a Mixed Substance?

A

A combination of 2 or more substances in which the substances retain their distinct identities
-A mixture is composed of different types of atoms or molecules that are not chemically bonded.

ex: Gatorade with sugar, dye, salt, water..

Q

Homogeneous

A

When the mixed substance looks uniform in appearance bc you cannot see the sugar, salt, and etc separately

Q

Heterogeneous

A

When the mixed substance looks ununiform so you can see the different the different types of matter.

ex: coffee bc you can see the sugar separate at the bottom of the coffee

Q

Distillation definition

A

the action of purifying a liquid by a process of heating and cooling

ex: water evaporates faster than salt, and then salt stays behind, so we can get purified water to make the water drinkable

Q

Filtration

A

The process in which solid particles in a liquid or a gaseous fluid are removed by the use of a filter medium

ex: filtering coffee beans from water

16
Q

Chromatography

A

Separates the components of a mixture by using a nonmoving ‘stationary phase’ (paper) with a moving solvent

17
Q

Diatomics

A

7 elements that do not exist by themselves

18
Q

Name the 7 Diatomics

A

Hydrogen, nitrogen, fluorine, oxygen, iodine, chlorine, bromine

19
Q

What are the properties of matter?

A

Intensive, Extensive, Physical, Chemical

20
Q

Intensive property

A

a property that is independent of the amount of substance present
Ex: color bc color is intensive from size (Cutting a piece of red paper off, the paper is still red)

21
Q

Extensive property

A

A property that varies with the amount of substance present like mass, volume, energy. Taking 5 pounds off of something changes the mass or weight of something. Energy also depends on quantity (how much you eat, affects ur energy)

22
Q

Chemical properties

A

After a Chemical change, the original substance will no longer exist. Like dying your hair, your original hair color can’t come back.
Corrosiveness and flammability are also chemical properties

22
Q

Physical properties

A

One that can be observed and measured without changing the identity of a substance. Ex: melting butter bc butter is still the same when melting or frozen. Ex: water is the same substance even if it is in a different composition or different state of matter like if it’s freezing or room temp

23
Q

Density equation

A

Mass divided by volume

24
Q

Density definition

and meaning if more or less dense

A

a measure of how tightly packed the particles are
-the more dense, you fall to the bottom, the less dense you stay at the top

25
Q

Scientific method steps

A

observation, question, hypothesis, prediction then testing, if fails new hypothesis and prediction, if good, conclusion than communicate it

26
Q

Mass definition

A

the measure of the amount of matter in an object or sample
