Extensive | physical properties that depend on the amount of the subtance present |
Matter | anything that has mass and takes up space |
Pure Substamce | substance that can Not be nroken down by physical means:elements and compounds |
element | pure subtance that can NOT be broken down by chemical means |
compound | a pure subtance consisting of two or more elements chemically combined |
Mixture | two or more pure substances physically comnined; can be separated by phusical means |

distillation | technique used to separate componets of a of a homogenous mixture /solution based on different boiling points |
chromatography | technique used to separate components of a homogenous micture/solution based on solubility and sice |
density | the amount of matter in a given colume; ration of mass to volume |
Accuracy | how close a measurement is to and accepted value |
precision | how close a group of results are to one another |
significant figures | measured difits used to maintain proper accuracy |
