Mechanical Mixture
|
a mixture where all components can be seen.
|
|
Suspension
|
a mixture in which fine particles are suspended in a fluid where they are supported by buoyancy
|
|
Colloid
|
A homogeneous consisting of large molecules or ultramicroscopic particles of one substance dispersed through a second substance.
|
|
Alchemy
|
a form of chemistry and speculative philosophy concerned principally with discovering methods for transmuting baser metals into gold and with finding a universal solvent and an elixir of life.
|
|
Atom
|
the smallest component of an element having the chemical properties of the element
|
|
Protons
|
A stable subatomic particle occurring in all atomic nuclei, with a positive electric charge equal in magnitude to that of an electron, but of opposite sign
|
|
Neutrons
|
an elementary particle with 0 charge and mass about equal to a proton; enters into the structure of the atomic nucleus
|
|
Electrons
|
A stable subatomic particle with a charge of negative electricity, found in all atoms and acting as the primary carrier of electricity in solids
|
|
Electron shell
|
an orbit filled with electrons around the nucleus of an atom
|
|
Valance electron
|
an electron in the outer shell of an atom which can combine with other atoms to form molecules
|
|
Nucleus
|
The positively charged central core of an atom, containing most of its mass
|
|
Atomic Number
|
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, which determines the chemical properties of an element and its place in the periodic table
