Classification Of Matter

Front 1

Tyndall effect

Back 1

The scattering of light by particles in a mixture.

Front 2

Heterogeneous Mixture

Back 2

A mixture in which different parts can be easily distinguished.

Front 3

Homogeneous Mixture

Back 3

A mixture in which different parts are blended evenly so that the mixture is the same throughout.

Front 4

Physical Change

Back 4

A change in size, shape, color, or state of matter.

Front 5

(LOCOM) Law of Conservation of Matter

Back 5

Matter is neither created or destroyed during a chemical change.

Front 6

Substance

Back 6

Matter that is either an element or a compound.

Front 7

Colloid

Back 7

A heterogeneous mixture that contains tiny particles that never settle out.

Front 8

Chemical Property

Back 8

A characteristic of a substance that indicates whether it can undergo a specific chemical change.

Front 9

Compound

Back 9

A substance made of the combined atoms of two or more elements.

Front 10

Chemical change

Back 10

The change of substances in to different substances.

Front 11

Solution

Back 11

A homogeneous mixture that does not settle containing particles so tiny that they cannot be seen even with a microscope.

Front 12

Suspension

Back 12

A heterogeneous mixture containing a liquid in which larger particles eventually settle out.

Front 13

Element

Back 13

A substance in which the atoms in a sample are alike.

Front 14

Distillation

Back 14

The process for separating substances in a mixture by evaporating a liquid and re-condensing the vapor.

Front 15

Physical Property

Back 15

Any characteristic of a material that can be observed without changing the identity of the material itself.
