Heterogeneous Mixture
A mixture with a non-uniform composition
Homogeneous Mixture
A mixture with a uniform composition
Solute
The minor component in a solution
Solvent
The major component in a solution
Proton
A particle with a positive charge that is in the nucleus of an atom
Electron
A negatively charged subatomic particle
Nucleus
The positively charged centre of an atom and contains most of its mass
Neutron
A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of every atom except that of simple hydrogen
Atom
An extremely small particle of matter that retains its identity during chemical reactions (cannot be broken down naturally)
Element
A substance that cannot be broken down into simpler components by any non-nuclear chemical reaction (made of atoms with same number of protons in nucleus)
Ion
A atom or molecules that is not neutral
Molecule
A group of two or more atoms held together by attractive forces known as chemical bonds
Compound
A substance formed from two or more elements chemically united in fixed proportions
Law of the Conservation of Mass
The mass of the reactants must equal the mass of the products in a chemical reaction
Physical change
A change in a substance that does not change what the substance is
Chemical change
A change in which a substance is changed into a different substance
Chemical property
A characteristic of a substance that can only be observed by changing it into a different substance
Physical property
A characteristic of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance
Synthesis
A + B = AB
Decomposition
AB = A + B
Combustion
Hydrocarbon + Oxygen = Water + Carbon Dioxide
Single Displacement
AB + C = AC + B
Precipitation/Double Displacement
AB + CD = AC + BD
Acid
Any substance that have a sour Taste and a hydrogen ion, turn litmus red, have pH numbers less than 7
Base
Any substance capable of reacting with an acid to form a salt and water
Alkaline
Any substance that contains hydroxide ions, feels soapy, turns litmus blue, has a pH number higher than 7, reacts with acids to make a salt and water
Acid + Base
Acid + Base = Salt + Water
Acid + Metal
Acid + Metal = Salt + Hydrogen
Acid + Metal Carbonate
Acid + Metal Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide
Substances that are always soluble (NAG SAG)

Group 1
Sulfates
Ammonium
Group 17
Soluble substances’ exceptions (PMS & Castro Bear)
Pb (lead)
Mercury (Hg)
Silver (Ag)
Ca
Sr
Ba
Number of moles in substance = ?
Mass of a substance in grams/Grams per mole for substance
Molar Weight
Grams per mole for a substance (found for an element by looking for atomic mass)
