- COMPOUNDS
-
atoms of 2 or more elements combined in a particular ratio
cannot be broken apart by ordinary physical means
- SOLUTE
-
substance dissolved in a solution
least abundant part of a solution
sugar part of sugar water - SUBSTANCE
-
cannot be broken by ordinary physical processes
element or compound
composition is definite - TYNDALL EFFECT
-
scattering of light by particles in a mixture
characteristic of a colloid and suspensions
- SATURATED
- holding as much solute as possible at that temperature
- MATTER
- Has mass and takes up space
- HETEROGENEOUS MIXTURE
-
each material can be distinguished
like a mixture of popcorn and peanuts - SOLUTION
-
another name for a homogeneous mixture
remains mixed, does not scatter light
parts are solute and solvent
very small particles, (.1-1nm)
does not scatter light - MIXTURE
-
two or more substances together each retaining its properties
the amount of each part may vary
- ELEMENTS
-
only one kind of matter (atom)
cannot be broken by ordinary physical means
a type of substance
found on the periodic table - HOMOGENEOUS MIXTURE
-
another name for a solution
cannot distinguish individual parts
uniformly mixed - COLLOID
-
Heterogeneous mixture of particles that never settle and scatter light
particles 1-1000nm
milk and gelatin are examples - DILUTE
-
having much solvent and less solute compared to another
less concentrated
not as strong as another - SUSPENSION
-
heterogeneous mixture with particles that settle out
Large particles greater than 100nm
example muddy water - SOLVENT
-
material that dissolves a solute in a solution
the most abundant substance in the solution
usually liquid portion of solution
water portion in sugar water - CONCENTRATED
-
having more solute in solution compared to another
less dilute
