| Two categories of matter | pure substances and mixtures |
| Homogenous mixture | Solution |
| Heterogenous mixture | Mechanical mixture |
| Colloid | A mechanical mixture that tends NOT to settle |
| Suspension | A mechanical mixture that tends to settle |
| Emulsion | A mixture where an agent is added to prevent the particles from joining |
| Why particles dissolve | Because they are attracted to the other type of particle |
| Why particles don't dissolve | The particles are NOT attracted to the other types of particles |
| Supersaturated | A solution holding MORE solute than ordinarily possible at that temperature |
| Water | The most common solvent on our planet |
| Gases | Decrease in solubility as temperature increases |
| Desalination | Can be done using a desert tent |
| Distillation | Captures solvent and solute |
| Evaporation | Only captures solute |
