A pure substance or a mixture |
|
What is a pure substance called? |
homogeneous |
|
What is a mixture called? |
heterogeneous |
|
Which are one of a kind? |
pure substances/homogeneous |
|
What makes them one of a kind? |

|
What is interesting about solid and liquid water? |
Water is the only element that liquid form is more dense than solid form |
|
Describe the properties of compounds and elements |
they have distinct properties which will never be absent or missing |
|
Describe the construction of mixtures |
they have variety and variability, they have differences in construction |
|
What is an example of a mixtrure |
salad, there are many different types with different ingredients in each |
|
What are the two types of mixtures |
heterogeneous and homogeneous |
|
an example of heterogeneous mixtures |
pepperoni pizza because you can see that ingredients appear different |
|
describe homogeneous mixtures |
Always appear the same no matter what and uniform, so well blended appears to be one |

example of a homogeneous mixture |
14k gold, gasoline |
|
What are pure substances/homogeneous represented by? |
symbol/chemical formula |

Atomic number |
|
How many rows are in the the periodic table and what are they called |
7 rows called periods, series, or energy levels |
|
How many vertical columns are there and what are they called |
18 vertical columns called groups, families, or columns |
|
What are the three categories of elements |
Metals, non metals, semi metals |
|
Why are there two rows of elements below the rest of the chart |
They belong inside the chart, but they wouldn't fit on a normal piece of paper |
