| Solid Solutions | solids that are really mixtures |
| Alloys | solid solutions made of metals |
| Gaseous Solutions | A mixture of gases (ie, Air) |
| Solvent | the liquid part of the solution that does the dissolving |
| Solute | The solid part of the solution that is dissolved by the liquid |
| Solution | a mixture formed when one substance mixes completely with another substance |
| Suspensions | a mixture of very large particles that settle out when left to sit |
| Colloids | a mixture in which a medium sized particles settle out of the liquid and light is scattered |
| Mixture | any form of matter that contains more than one substance that can be seperated by physical means |
| Compound | a combination of two or more elements that can only be broken donw by a chemical change |
| Molecule | the smallest particle that a compound can be broken down into and still has the properties of the compound |
| Physical properties | any property of matter that can be observed or measured by your senses without you changing the composition of the matter |
| Solid | molecules are close together in a "fixed" pattern |
| Liquid | molecules can change position and move past each other |
| Gas | phase of matter in which molecules are very far apart and move randomly |
| Plasma | State of matter that occurs only at VERY high temperatures |
| chemical properties | any property of matter that describes how that kind of matter interacts with other kinds of matter |
| Law of Conservation of Matter | Matter cannot be created nor destroyed, it only changes form |
| Physical change | any change in matte that does NOT change the chemicals properties of the matter |
| Chemical Change | a change in matter in which at least one substance is changed into another substance |
| Matter | antything that has mass and takes up space |
| Elements | a substance that cannot be broken down by either physical or chemical changes |
| Periodic Table of Elements | chart that organizes the elements based upon their properties |
| periods | horizontal rows of the periodic table |
| groups | vertical columns on the periodic table |
