field of study concerned with the characteristics, composition, and
transformations of matter
chemistry
anything that occupies space and displays the properties of mass
and inertia
matter
form of matter that has a definite (constant) composition and distinct properties.
substance
combination of two or more substances in which the substances
retain their distinct identities
mixture
the composition of the mixture is the same throughout
homogenous mixture
mixture that contains visibly different phases, each has different properties
heterogenous mixture
a substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances by chemical means
element
a substance composed of atoms of two or more elements chemically united in fi xed proportions
compound
a group of two or more atoms bonded together; smallest unit of a substance that retains its chemical properties
molecule
an individual substance in a mixture
component

testable prediction or explanation of the phenomenon in question
hypothesis
designed to test the hypothesis
experiment
data is collected and analyzed to determine whether it supports or contradicts the hypothesis; involves statistical analysis to ensure the results are valid
analysis
drawn based on the analysis
