Properties & States of Matter Vocab.
Cards in this deck (18)
- 1Pure SubstanceMatter that has a fixed or uniform composition; every sample of substance has the same properties
- 2CompositionThe way in which something is made, especially in terms of its different parts
- 3ElementA substance that was not chemically reacted (no chemical change), has only one atom, and is a type of pure substance
- 4CompoundMade of atoms of more than one atom which are bonded chemically and is a new substance; a type of pure substance
- 56 Most Abundant Elements*CHNOPS*
- 6C= Carbon
- 7H= Hydrogen
- 8N= Nitrogen
- 9O=Oxygen
- 10P= Phosphorus
- 11S= Sulfer
- 12MatterEverything that has mass and takes up space
- 13Diatomic AtomsElements that are so reactive that it can't be found alone (ex: oxygen,O2)
- 14MixtureMix of more than one pure substance and has no reaction
- 15HeterogeneousNot uniform composition and different components can be seen in substance (noticeable mixture )
- 16HomogeneousSubstances are so evenly distributed that it is difficult to distinguish on substance to another; appears to be only one substance (less noticeable mixture)
- 17SuspensionMixtures that can separate into layers over time, can be filtered, and scatters light with large particles (heterogeneous)
- 18ColloidA suspension of small particles dispersed in another substance and light can pass through it (homogeneous)
