17
Q

What is the atomic weight?

A

The average of the mass numbers of all isotopes

18

19
Q

What is a molecule?

A

Two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds

20
Q

What is a compound?

A

a thing that is composed of two or more separate elements (dry ice CO2)

21
Q

What is a mixture?

A

Two or more components physically intermixed but not chemically bonded (Nesquick!)

22
Q

What are solutions?

A

Homogeneous mixtures of components (mixtures which have the same composition and properties throughout) like table salt dissolved in water

23
Q

What are solvents?

A

Substances present in the greatest amount (water); thing that’s doing the dissolving

24
What is a solute?
Substance present in smaller amounts (usually salt)
25
What are colloids or emulsions?
They are heterogeneous mixtures whose solutes do not settle out
