Classification of Matter Vocabulary Quiz

Colloid

• heterogeneous mixture whose particles never settle; like FOG

• element or compound that cannot be broken down into simpler components without losing the properties of the original substance.

• substance in which the atoms of two or more elements are combined CHEMICALLY and in fixed proportions.

• heterogenous mixture containing a liquid , and in which visible particles slowly settle due to gravity; ex. yoohoo or muddy water

Compound

• substance in which its different components are easily distinguished; like trail mix

• substance containing two or more components that are blended/mixed uniformly so that individual components are indistinguishable with a microscope; like soda

• substance in which the atoms of two or more elements are bonded together in fixed proportions.

• element or compound that cannot be broken down into simpler components without losing the properties of the original substance.

Tyndall Effect

• tendency for a beam of light to scatter as it passes through a colloid.

• any characteristic of a substance, such as flammability, that can be observed that produces a new substance.

• law that states that the mass of all substances present before a chemical change equals the mass of all the substances remaining after the change.

• any characteristic of a material, such as size or shape, that can be observed without changing the identity of the material.

Chemical Change

• change of one substance into a new substance

• any change in size, shape, or state of matter in which the identity of the substance remains the same.

• any characteristic of a material, such as size or shape, that can be observed without changing the identity of the material.
