21
Q

What is a molecule?

A

A physically OR chemically bonded group of atoms

22
Q

What are (intermolecular) forces?

A

the forces that occur between all molecules, causing them to attract each other

23
Q

What is a mixture?

A

Two or more substances mixed together but not chemically bonded

24
Q

What is a solution?

A

A result of a solute dissolving in a solvent

25
What is the solvent in a solution?
The solvent is the substance (liquid) that dissolves the solute
26
What is the solute in the solution?
The solid or gas that dissolves in the solvent to make the solution.
27
What is a suspension?
An insoluble solute in a solvent
28
What does soluble / insoluble mean?
Able / not able to dissolve
29
what does it mean if two liquids are miscible?
They are able to dissolve in each other (mix)
30
What does it mean if a solution is saturated?
It means that no more solute can dissolve in the solution.
31
What is measured by Solubility?
How much of a specific solute can dissolve in a specific solvent at a specific temparature
32
What does the concentration of a solution mean?
How much of a solute is in a solution (measured in g/100cm^3
33
Define diffusion
Particles moving in random directions, causing them to spread and mix
