| Homogeneous | of the same kind |
| Heterogeneous | of different kinds |
| solution | a homogeneous form composed of a solute and a solvent |
| solvent | part of the solution doing the dissolving |
| solute | part of the solution that is dissolved |
| ion | a charged particle |
| electrolyte | solution that can conduct an electrical current |
| non-electrolyte | solution that does not conduct an electrical current |
| dilute | solution containing a small amount of solute |
| concentrated | solution containing a high amount of solute |
| saturated solution | solution containing the maximum amount solute |
| miscible | substances in a solution that are mutually dissolvable and have to point of saturation |
| internal phase of a suspenstion | substance in suspension being suspended |
| external phase of suspension | suspending substance of a suspension |
| colloid | suspension with internal phase particles small enough gravity will not separate out |
| protoplasm | colloid in living cells |
| reversible colloid | colloid that can "set up" and later return to liquid form |
| irreversible colloid | colloid that once it "sets up" remains in that form |
| Tyndall Effect | diffusion of a light beam by particles larger than 1 nanometer in a suspension |
| gas | state of matter having neither definite form or volume |
| liquid | state of matter having definite volume but not definite form |
| solid | state of matter having both definite volume and definite form |
| phase diagram | graph showing relationship of three common forms of matter, temperature, and pressure |
| sublimation | changing directly from solid to gas state |
| melting | changing from solid to liquid |
| freezing | changing from liquid to solid |
| condensing | changing from gas to liquid |
| vaporizing | changing from liquid to gas |
| boiling | when all particles in a liquid have kinetic energy great enough to escape liquid phase |
| volatile | liquid that is easily vaporized |
| triple point | for a substance, the combination of pressure and temperature at which all three common states of matter co-exist |
| critical point | highest temperature at which pressure can be applied to liquify a substance |
| vapor | gas |
| deposition | changing directly from a gas to a solid |
| plasma state of matter | matter having such high kinetic energy that electrons are stripped away from atomic nuclei |
| Bose-Einstein condensate | state of matter at extremely low temperature such as those in deep space |
| temperature | average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance |
