- soluble : a substance that can be dissolved
- solvent : a liquid that can dissolve a substance in it
- solution : a mixture of two or more substances that are dissolved in each other
- miscible : liquids that can be mixed together
- immiscible : two liquids that do not mix together
- movement and arrangement : solidsM - vibrates rapidlyA - tightly packed together, uniform arrangement
- movement and arrangement : liquidsM - flows more freely, will change shape to fit a containerA - more spread out arrangement, particles flow over eachother
- movement and arrangement : gases
M - particles move around freely, spread out far apart to fill a containerA - particles are arranged very sparsely, not touching often
