a substance made from two or more different types of atoms chemicallybonded together
Mixture
A substance made from two or more elements. NOT chemically bonded together. Can be seperated
Pure
Only made from one type of substance. Will have one boilingpoint. Elements and compounds are pure substance
Impure
Made from two or more different types of elements. Will have a variety of different boilingpoints. Mixtures are impure substances.
Molecule
Group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound
Chemical formula
A series of numbers and chemical symbols that represent the number of atomsbonded together in a compound
Chemical Equation
An equation showing chemicals that react together and the new product they form. Always has an arrow between the reactants and products, never an equals sign
Reactant
Found on the left of the arrow in an equation. These are the chemicals that are breaking apart and rearranging their particles
Product
Found on the right of the arrow in an equation. These are the rearranged atoms of the reactants, chemically bonded together to form new products
Chromatography
The method for separating dissolved substances from one another
Distillation
Method for separating the solvent from a solution
Filtration
Method for separating an insoluble solid from a liquid
Saturated
when a solution contains the maximum amount of solute it can
Solubility
The ability for a given substance to dissolve in a solvent
Soluble
A substance that will dissolve
Solute
The dissolved substance in a solution
Solution
A liquid mixture in which a solid (solute) is distributed in a liquid (solvent)
Solvent
liquid in which the solute dissolves to form a solution
