Mixtures Flashcards
pure substances
elements, covalent compounds, and ionic compounds
Heterogeneous mixture
does not have a uniform comp throughout the sample
Homogeneous mixture
has a uniform comp throughout the sample
Solution
homogeneous mixture that contains small particles. Liquid solutions are transparent
What two parts consist in a solution?
The solute : substance that presents in a lesser amount
The solvent : substance that presents in a larger amount.
Aqueous solution
water is the solvent
Colloid
-A homogeneous mixture with larger particles, often having an opaque appearance
-particles can not be filtered from its other components
-they do not settle out
Suspension
-A heterogeneous mixture that contains large particles suspended in a liquid
- particles are so large that they do not dissolve in the liquid
- can be filtered away from liquid or separated by using a centrifuge.
