Liquid
The state of matter in which a substance has a definite volume, but no definite shape(e.g..,water)

Pure substance
A material that contains only one kind of particle.
proprerties
Characteristics that describe matter.
Mixture
A combination of two or more pure substances such as that each one’s properties are not lost, but maybe hidden
Homogeneous
The same in structure, quality, or kind
Solution
A homogenous mixture of two or more pure substances
Heterogeneous
Made up of parts, or mixed.
Suspension
A heterogeneous mixture in which particles settle slowly after mixing.
Colloid
A heterogeneous mixture in which particles do not settle
Emulsion
A mixture in which droplets of fat are prevented from joining together by an emulsifying agent
Mechanical mixture
A substance made of more than one kind of material, in which the different materials can be easily identified.
Phases
a distinct period or stage in a series of events or a process of change or development.
dissolving
mixing a solute completely with a solvent to form a solution; the distinct properties of each of the materials combine into one set of properties.
