ions
ionized gas
plasma
pure substance, cannot be separated into simpler substance by chemical process
element
made of 2 or more elements bonded together in fixed proportions
compound
related to appearance or state of matter-not composition
physical property
related to change in composition of matter
chemical property
all samples of a particular compound contain the same elements combined in the same proportion
Law of Constant Composition
components are distributed uniformly throughout
Homogenous mixtures
AKA solutions
Homogenous mixtures
not uniformly distributed throughout, contains distinct regions of different composition
Heterogeneous mixtures
process using evaporation/condensation to separate mixture of substances w/ different volatilities
Distillation
a process to separate solid particles from a liquid or gaseous sample by passing the sample thru a porous material that retains the solid particle
Filtrations
process involving stationary and mobile phases for separating a mixture of substances based on their different affinities for the two types of phases
