heterogenous mixture
visibly distinguishable parts
pure substance
substance with one constant composition
compound
substance with constant composition that can be broken down into elements by chemical process.
- water
- table salt
elements
substance that cannot be decomposed into simpler substances by physical or chemical means
- oxygen
- hydrogen
physical change
substance changes without changing the composition
-usually reversible
chemical change
substance changed- breaking or creation of bonds
-produce new substances with new properties
evidence of chemical change
- production of precipitate
- color change
- change in energy (light, temp, sound)
- gas production (bubbles/cloudiness)
reaction types
-synthesis
-decomposition
- combustion
- single replacement
- double replacement
synthesis reaction
2 or more substance combine into single substance
decomposition reaction
1 compound splits into 2 simple substances
single replacement
one element replaces a similar element in a compound.
double replacement
positive and negative ions of two ionic compound exchange places to form two new compounds
combustion
burning; chem reaction, substance reacts quickly with O2 releasing energy in form of light and heat.
