    The smallest neutral part of an element that can take part in chemical reactions.
  • What are attractive forces?

    The weak forces of attraction between molecules.
  • What is the boiling point?

    The temperature at which a liquid boils.
  • What do chemical properties describe?

    How a substance reacts with other substances.
  • What is the melting point?

  • What is the particle model?

    A theory to explain the different properties and observations of solids, liquids, and gases.
  • What is a physical change?

    A change in which no new substances are formed, like changes of state.
  • What are the states of matter?

    The three different forms that a substance can have: solid, liquid, or gas.
  • What is a compound?

    A substance that can be split into simpler substances, containing atoms of two or more elements joined together.
  • What is an element?

    A substance made up of only atoms with the same number of protons in the nucleus.
  • What does impure mean?

    A substance that is not pure.
  • What is a mixture?

    Two or more substances jumbled together but not joined to each other.
  • What is a physical property?

    A description of how a material behaves and responds to forces and energy.
  • What does pure mean?

    A single substance, with a fixed composition, that does not have anything else mixed with it.
  • What is crystallisation?

    Separating the solute from a solution by evaporating the solvent.
  • What is a filtrate?

    The solution passing through a filter.
  • What is filtration?

    Using a filter to separate insoluble substances from a liquid.
  • What is a hazard?

    Something that could cause harm.
  • What does insoluble mean?

    Describes a substance that cannot be dissolved in a certain liquid.
  • What is residue?

    The material remaining in the filter after the mixture has passed through it.
  • What is risk?

    The chance of a hazard causing harm.
  • What is a risk assessment?

    Identification of the hazards of doing an experiment.
  • What is a saturated solution?

    A solution that contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in that amount of solvent at that temperature.
  • What is a solute?

    The substance that dissolves in a liquid to make a solution.
  • What is a solution?

    A mixture formed when a substance has dissolved in a liquid.
  • What is a solvent?

    The liquid in which a solute dissolves to make a solution.
  • What is chromatography?

    A technique for separating the components of a mixture.
  • What is paper chromatography?

    Chromatography carried out by spotting drops of the samples onto paper and allowing a solvent to move up the paper.
  • What is the stationary phase in chromatography?

    The surface through which the solvent and dissolved substances move in chromatography.
  • What is the mobile phase in paper chromatography?

    The solvent that moves along the paper carrying the dissolved samples with it.
  • What is a chromatogram?

    The piece of paper showing the results of carrying out chromatography on substances.
  • What is the Rf value?

    The ratio of the distance travelled by the solute to the distance travelled by the solvent under the same conditions.
  • What does condense mean?

    When a gas turns into a liquid.
  • What is distillation?

    The process of separating a liquid from a mixture by evaporating the liquid and then condensing it.
  • What is fractional distillation?

    A method of separating a mixture of liquids with different boiling points into individual components.
  • What is a still?

    The apparatus used to carry out distillation or fractional distillation.
  • What is an aquifer?

    An underground layer of rock containing groundwater, which can be extracted using a well or pump.
  • What is chemical analysis?

    Using chemical reactions or sensitive machines to identify and measure substances in a sample.
