Chem Flashcards
Define matter
Takes up space and has mass
Homogenous
A mixture that looks all the same
Heterogenous
The mixture looks different throughout
4 phases of matter
Solid, liquid, gas, and plasma (the funky one in stars)
What is the simplest form of an element
An atom (after that its just protons & boring stuff)
Mixtures
Simply the physical combination of elements or substances; composition may vary.
T/F You can separate the substances of a mixture.
T
Solution
A mixture with very small particles, .1 nm - 1nm; impossible to see; rubbing alchohol, vinegar
Colloids
Particles scatter light; 1nm-1000nm; paint, paint, milk
Suspension
Particles are large enough to settle; orange juice, salad dressing.
Physical property
Something that can be observed without changing its composition.
How do you know a chemical chance has occurred?
It forms something new and different. ie cake batter - cake
