Study Guide Flashcards
Law
Phenomenon in nature proven to occur when certain conditions meet
Hypothesis
Propose Possible solutions to a problem or explanations for observation; suggesting such a possibility in scientific language; proposed explanation made on basis of the limited evidence at starting point
Theory
(Model) is a set of tested hypothesis that gives an overall explanation of some part of nature
Model
Activity to make something easy to understand
Element
Substance that can’t be decomposed into simpler substances by chemical or physical means. Example: H ; Na
Compound
Substance with constant composition that can be broken down into elements by chemical processes. Example: HNa ; PKO
Mixture
Material of variable composition that contains two or more substances. Example: water + sugar ; the ocean
Homogenous mixture
Mixture that is the same throughout; a solution. Example: gasoline; sugar water
Heterogenous mixture
Mixture with different properties in different regions of the mixture. Example: jellybeans; the ocean
Physical changes
A change in the form of a substance but not in its chemical nature; Chemical bonds are not broken in a physical change
Chemical change
Change of substances in other substances through a reorganization of atoms; chemical reaction. Example: burning toast
Pure substance
Substance with constant composition. Example: elements; compounds

Given 100 g of a metal that has a volume of 63.5 mL, calculate its density. Using GESA and remember to use units
D=m/v D= 100g / 63.5 mL = 2g / mL
