Wheat is a Mixture?
Combination of two or more substances where each substance retains its own chemical identity and properties. Can be separated into separate substances through physical means
What is a Heterogeneous mixture?
Not uniform throughout.
i.e. Gravel, Cement
What is a Homogeneous Mixture?
Uniform throughout mixture. No clumbs
i.e.
Kool-aid (stirred really well.
What is a compound?
Substance composed of two ore more different elements joined by chemical bond(s)
What is a Physical Change?
Changes the form or state of substance, but not composition of a substance
What is a Chemical Change?
Combining, Decomposition, or combustion of substances to form new chemical bonds with different compositions.
What is Decomposition
Taking a substance and splitting it into two ore more substances
i.e. H2O ———-> 2H + O
What is chemical combination?
Taking two ore more substances and combining them to make one compound
i.e. Cl + H ——–> HCL
What is a Physical Property?
properties that can be
measured without changing the basic identity of
the substance
What is a Chemical property?
the way a substance may
change or “react” to form other substances

Does mass equal weight?
No, mass is a measure of the magnitude of
gravitational force experienced by and
exerted by an object
Weight is the gravitation force felt by an object while on earth.
How would one convert Celcius to Kelvin?
K= 273.15+ Celcius degree
What is an intensive Property?
does not depend on sample size
i.e density m/v
What is an extensive property?
Dependent on sample size
i.e. mass
What does it mean to be precise?
how closely
individual measurements agree with
each other
What does it mean to be Accurate?
measure of how closely individual measurements agree with the correct value.
