pure substance, mixture, solutons etc. Flashcards
pure substance
matter that has a fixed composition and unique properties ( 1 element or compound homogenous)
mixture
contains at least 2 compounds that are physically combined
homogenous or heterogenous
element
homogenous
only 1 type of atom
compound
homogenous
2 or more chemically combined elements
solution
homogenous
special kind of mixture with 2 phases (solute dissolves and solute does the dissolving)
heterogenous example
always a mixture
2 of more physically combined substances such as air or muddy wate
tyndal effect
scattering of light by particles in a colloid or suspension
homogenous mixtures
mixture where the components are evenly distributed among each other.
u cant see component parts
constant composition throughout and homogenous mixtures are called solution
solutions
well mixed ( uniform)
homogenous
transparent
cannot be separated by filtration
do not separate on standing
heterogenous mixtures
components are not evenly distributed among each other
has two or more distinct phases that are usually detectable
does not have uniform properties
heterogenous mixtures that look like solutions can be distinguished as they scatter light
colloids
non transparent
non uniform
large particles
cloudy
stable system
suspensions
system does not stay stable and settle
mud, flour, paint, chalk, dust
aerosol
suspension of liquid droplets or fine solid particles in a gas is called an aerosol
