What is matter? |
Matter is anything that has both mass and volume, it is divided into 2 types: Pure substances and Mixtures. |
|
|
What is a fluid and what does a fluid do? |
A substance that has no fixed shape, for example a gas. A fluid takes the shape of there containor |
|
|
What is a Homogenous mixture? |
A homogenous mixture is a mixture that looks like it has one set of properties |
|
|
What is a Heterogeneous mixture? |
A heterogeneous mixture is when the properties of a mixture are not hidden. So if there are 2 or more materials mixed in this mixture its called a heterogeneous mixture |
|
|
What is a solution? |
A solution is something that occurs because each particle slips between each other particle and is evenly distributed throughout the entire mixture. |
|
|
What is a suspension? |
A suspension is when the particles in a Heterogeneous mixture settle slowly after mixing. |
|
|
What is a colloid? |
A colloid is when the particles don't settle at all in a Heterogeneous mixture. |
|
|
What is a pure substance? |
A pure substance is a matter that has its own unique set of properties. |
|
|
What is a mixture? |
A mixture is a matter that contains 2 or more pure substances. |

|
|
What is a solution? |

|
What is a binder? |
A binder keeps ingrediants/ materials together. |
|
|
What is a solvent? |
A solvent is a substance that dissolves the solute to form a solution. |
|
|
What is solubility? |
Solubility is the limit of concentration. |
|
|
What is a saturated solution? |
A saturated solution is something in which no more solute will dissolve in a specific amount of solvent. |
|
|
What is a unsaturated solution? |
A unsaturated solution is something in which more solute can be dissolved in a solvent. |
