Q3: Lesson 1 | Matter Flashcards
Study of matter and the changes it undergoes.
chemistry
matter with constant composition
substance
matter with variable composition
mixture
substance made up of atoms with the same atomic number
element
substance made from two or more elements chemically combined
compound
simplest form of substance
elements
pure substances that are the unions of two or more elements
compounds
A mixture in which the composition of materials
is uniform throughout.
homogenous mixture
The particles that make up the mixture are very
small and not easily recognizable.
homogeneous mixture
is a type of homogeneous mixture that
is formed when one substance dissolves another
substance.
solution
the particles are mixed
together but not dissolved.
colloid mixtures
The particles are relatively large and kept
permanently suspended.
colloids
will not
separate upon standing.
colloids
The particles are
constantly colliding, and
this allows a colloid to
scatter light – thus
it often seem
cloudy.
colloids
heteregeneous mixture with big particles that settle out when left undisturbed
suspension
liquids that need to be shaken well before using
suspension
