what best describes a mixture
a combination of two or more substances physically combined
what distinguishes a pure substance form a mixture
it has consistent properties and only one type of particles
example of heterogeneous mixture
sand and salt
heterogeneous mixture
a combination of substances in which the different components are not uniformly distributed
example of pure substance
distilled water
homogeneous mixture
uniform throughout, every part looks and behaves the same ( also called solutions)
what term describes that something doesn’t dissolve properly
insoluble
what does miscible mean
liquids that mix complete in any proportion
immiscible
insoluble
concentrated solutions
concentrated solutions have a higher ratio of solute to solvent
dilute solutions
low solute to solvent ratio
why are solutions considered stable
the compute does not settle out upon standing
what do solutions look like
clear or transparent
unsaturated solutions
a solution that can still dissolve more solute at a given temperature
saturated solutions
maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at the given temperature
supersaturated solutions
more solute than morally possible at that temperature
what does high electronegativity tell you about an atom
it attracts shared electrons strongly
electronegativity table ( left to right)
it increases
electronegativity table ( up to down )
decreases
what is the most electronegative element
fluorine
polar bonds
unequal sharing of electrons creates partial charges
nonpolar
no partial charges
why do noble gases lack electronegativity
they don’t form chemical bonds
what happens when two atoms with different electronegatives form a bond
high electronegativity attracts electrons more
