mass | measure of the quantity of matter |
element | substance that cannot be broken down into other substances by ordinary chemical change |
compound | substance made up of two or more elements that ae chemically combined |
mixture | combination of two or more substances in which each substance retains its individual properties |
homogeneous mixture | mixture with uniform characteristics throughout |
heterogeneous mixture | mixture with portions that have different characteristics or composition |
properties | set of characteristics that can be used to recognize a substance |
extensive properties | depend on the amount of the substance that is present (volume, weight, mass, length) |
