Water
H₂O(ℓ)
way of communicating water
First letter (H) is always upper case
(ℓ)
Water in liquid form
Not upper case
An “L”
H₂O(ℓ) -> H₂O(s)
Physical change
Liquid to solid when froze
Substance not changed
Physical change
The substance is changed to a different state
Substance and formula don’t change
Example: Au(s) -> Au(ℓ)
No new substance is formed
Physical property
boiling point
physical change
Chemical change
Substance and formula change
State is changed
New substance is formed
chemical property
electrolysis
chemical change
Matter
Particles attracted to each other, creating an object
Occupies space and has volume
An atom
Cannot be chemically created or destroyed
Mass and atoms
Cannot be chemically created or destroyed
Conserved in chemical change
Solution
Two components
Solute (substance being diluted)
Solvent (substance that dilutes the solute)
Symbolic
Formulas
Macroscopic
Observations
Visible with naked eye
Microscopic
Not visible with naked eye
Particle theory
Pure substance
Single kind of matter having predictable properties
Compound
Element
Mixture
Physical combination of two or more types of substances
Homogenous
Heterogeneous
Homogeneous
Cannot be physically separated
Heterogeneous
Can be physically separated
Mechanical mixture
A mixture that is visible with the naked eye
Example: chocolate chip cookie (dough and chocolate chips are clearly visible in the mixture), beach sand (can be separated and visible that there are multiple rocks)
Compound
Can be broken down into simpler components
Element
Cannot be broken down into other components (purest form)
