  • What is a gross mixture? (not like ewww, gross!) and give an example!
    Heterogeneous mixture that can be easily separate, even by hand. Ex: Fruit salad, Cereal with milk, Picadillo, Gallo pinto, Pizza
  • What is an atom?
    smallest unit of an element that maintains the chemical identity of that element. Atoms are the building blocks of matter.
  • What is the periodic table of elements?
    Shows all known elements in the universe. Organizes the elements by chemical properties
  • What are the 2 types of mixtures and describe them.
    Homogeneous and heterogeneous + description
  • Give an example fo a colloid
    Ex: milk, jelly, whipped cream, Styrofoam, blood, fog, mayonnaise, hand lotion, detergent, paint, etc.
  • How do you find the atomic mass?
    Atomic mass = protons + neutrons
  • What is vaporization?
    When the substance changes from a liquid to a gas
  • What is an element?
    A pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler, stable and is made of one type of atom.
  • What is Matter?
    anything that has mass and takes up space
  • What is a pure substance?
    A pure substance or chemical substance is a material that has a constant composition(is homogeneous) and has consistent properties throughout the sample.
  • What is a suspension?
    A  heterogeneous mixture that contains solid particles sufficiently large for sedimentation. The particles may be visible to the naked ey and will eventually se
  • What are the 3 types of elements in the periodic table of elements?
    Metals, Metalloids, and Non-metals
  • Who was Dmitri Mendeleev?
    He created the first periodic table of elements
  • How do you find the atomic number?
    Atomic number = # of protons
  • What is a compound?
    a substance that can be broken down into simple stable substances. Each compound is made from the atoms of two or more elements that are chemically bonded.
  • What is mass?
    is a measure of the amount of matter. Using a balance
  • What is a mixture?
    A mixture is a blend of two or more kinds of matter, each of which retains its own identity and properties.
  • What is a gas?
    Has neither define volume nor definite shape. The gas will expand to fill any size container and takes the shape of the container.
  • What is sublimation?
    When, the substance changes directly from a solid to a gas without going through the liquid phase. 
  • Describe what a colloid is.
    A mixture in which one substance of microscopically dispersed insoluble particles is suspended throughout another substance.
  • How is the periodic table of elements organized?
    Elements are organized on the table according to their atomic number.
  • Give an example of a solution.
    Ex: Sugar water, salt water, coffee and sugar, etc.
  • What is deposition?
    When the substance changes directly from a gas to a solid without going through the liquid phase. 
  • How many valence electrons does group 18 have?
    8
  • What is a liquid?
    define volume, but an indefinite shape. Assumes the shape of its container. Particles are closed together but can move one another.
  • What is Bose-Einstein Condensate?
    Is a group of atoms cooled to absolute zero. (0 kelvin, - 270ºC)
  • What is a solid?
    Has define volume and shape, molecules are very closed together.
  • What are the 3 parts of an atom? Describe them.
    Proton, Neutron, Electron.
  • What is a valence electron?
    Valence electrons are the electrons in the outer energy level of an atom.
  • How many valence electrons does group 2 have?
    2
  • What is a plasma?
    The atoms lose most of their electrons. Electrons are negatively charged particles that move about the atomic nucleus
