| mixture | two or more substances that have been combined. |
| homogeneous | mixture which is evenly mixed throughout |
| heterogeneous | mixture that is not evenly mixed throughout |
| suspension | mixture where larger particles are mixed into smaller particles, where particles float or settle out. |
| solution | a homogeneous mixture of small particles of solute dissolved into a solvent. |
| solute | The dissolved particles of a solution |
| Solvent | the dissolving agent of a solution |
| universal solvent | term that describes water's ability to dissolve many things. |
| polar molecule | a molecule where electrons are unequally shared resulting in partial charges |
| nonpolar molecule | a molecule with equally shared electrons |
| alloy | metals that have other metals dissolved in them to make metal solutions |
| colloid | a homogeneous mixture with suspended, dissolved particles large enough to scatter light, but not settle out. |
| Tyndall effect | the scattering of light by midsized particles of a colloid or suspension |
| gel | a colloid of solid particles mixed in a liquid; pudding |
| aerosol | liquid dissolved in a gas; hairspray |
| foam | colloid of gas mixed into a liquid |
| emulsion | colloid of liquid droplets mixed into a liquid; paint |
| concentrate | When there is a large amount of solute in a solvent |
| saturated solution | when no more solute can dissolve, it will fall to the bottom |
| evaporation | when a liquid changes to a gas |
