-
what is a pure substance?
Composed of only one type of atom or molecule
-
What is a mixture?
Matter that is composed or two or more different types of atoms or moelcules combined in variable proportions
-
What is an element?
A substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances
-
What is a compound?
A substance composed of two or more elements in fixed definite proportions
-
What is a heterogeneous mixture?
such as oil and water, the composition varies from one region to another
-
What is a homogeneous mixture?
such as salt water or sweetened tea, the compostion is the same throughout
-
What is physical property?
A substance displays without changing its composition
-
What is chemical property?
a substance displays only through changing its composition
-
What is physical change?
- matter changes its appearance but not its compostion
- ice-water-steam
-
What is chemical change?
matter changes its compostion
for example copper turns green upon continues exposure to air because it reacts with gases in the air to form new compounds
