Flashcards

Compound

A pure substance made up of two or more elements chemically combined in a fixed ratio. For example, water (Hâ‚‚O) is a compound made up of hydrogen and oxygen.

Element

A pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. It's made up of only one type of atom. For example, gold (Au) is an element.

Mixture

A substance consisting of two or more substances mixed together, but not chemically combined. Components can be separated by physical means. For example, salt water is a mixture of salt and water.

Homogeneous Mixture (Solution)

A mixture where the components are evenly distributed throughout, forming a uniform composition. For example, saltwater.

Heterogeneous Mixture

A mixture where the components are not evenly distributed, and different parts of the mixture have different compositions. For example, sand and water.

Molecule

Two or more atoms chemically bonded together. The atoms can be of the same element (e.g., Oâ‚‚ - oxygen molecule) or different elements (e.g., Hâ‚‚O - water molecule).

Physical Change

A change in the physical state of matter, such as melting, freezing, boiling, or condensation, without changing the chemical composition of the substance. For example, ice melting to water is a physical change.
