Mixture
- A mixture consists of two or more substances mingled together but not chemically combined e.g. sand and water.
- There are four methods of separating mixtures
Filtration
Used to separate small insoluble solids (do not dissolve in a liquid) from a liquid by using filter paper and a funnel to trap the solids.
Residue
The dirt left over on the filter paper
Chromatography
Used to separate a mixture of dissolved substances in a solution E.g. the different colors in a black marker.

Matter
anything that takes up space and has mass
Mass
a measure of the amount of matter in an object
States of matter
three states that matter can exist in solid, liquid and gas
Solid
atoms are close together, they vibrate to transfer energy. Cannot flow, fixed shape. e.g. wood, rock
Liquid
atoms are less close that solid, but still close. Particles can move around. Liquids can flow and change shape. e.g. water, milk
Gas
particles are spread out. Gases can flow and change shape. e.g. air, oxygen
Particles
suggestion that everything is made up of small parts.
Particle theory
scientists believe that everything is made from very small particles.
Viscosity
the flow rate of a liquid. Water is less viscous (more runny) than maple syrup.
Diffusion
the spreading out of particles to fill the space they are in.
Mixture
consists of two or more substances mingled together but not chemically combined
Filtration
used to separate an insoluble solid and a liquid
Insoluble
does not dissolve in a liquid
Soluble
Dissolves ina liquid
Residue
the soil left in the filter paper after filtration
Filtare
the clean water that comes after filtration
Evaporation
used to separate a soluble solid from a liquid e.g. salt and water
Solvent
the liquid that a solid is dissolved into
Solute
the solid that is left behind after evaporation
Distillation
method of separation used to separate a soluble solid and its solvent, or two miscible liquids with different boiling points
