23
Q

Compounds:

A

substances in which atoms of two or more elements are chemically combined. always have the same composition

24
Q

Organic compounds:

A

Contain the elements carbon and hydrogen

25
Inorganic compounds
Do not contain carbon
26
Mixture:
Something that has variable composition; something with 2 or more substances physically combined, can be broken down into elements or compounds
27
Mixture examples:
Wine, coffee
28
Pure substances:
always have the same composition, must be an element or a compound
29
Pure substance examples:
lead, oxygen, water, carbon dioxide
30
Homogeneous mixture
aka a solution, composition is the same through
31
Examples of homogenous mixtures
salt water, milk, air
32
Alloy
A solid solution of metals (brass)
33
Heterogeneous mixtures
Composition is not the same throughout
34
Examples of heterogeneous mixtures
Sand and water, chocolate chip cookies, trail mix
35
Substitutional alloy:
Another metal is substituted in the original metal, the metals are approximately the same size
36
Interstitial alloy
Smaller atoms fit into the holes of the original metallic structure
37
Distillation:
separation of liquids based on differences in boiling point
38
Filtration
Separation of liquids based on particle size
39
Chromatography
used when mixture is composed of two materials with different "affinities" for a stationary phase
