True
What is the difference between a pure substance and a mixture?
A pure substance contains only one type of particle. A mixture contains two or more different types of particles mixed together.

What is the particle theory of matter?
The particle theory of matter states that all matter is made up of tiny, constantly moving particles with spaces between them.
What is the difference between a solute and a solvent?
A solute is the substance that gets dissolved. A solvent is the substance that does the dissolving.
When you pull an elastic band too far and it snaps, which internal force is used to break it?

What is the difference of renewable and non-renewable energy?
Renewable energy never runs out because it replenishes naturally. Non-renewable energy has a limited supply and will eventually disappear.
How does temperature, stirring, and size affect how fast the item dissolves.
Dissolving speeds up with higher temperatures (faster particles), stirring (faster contact), and smaller sizes (less surface area).
Name all 4 of the types of structures
Solid structure, Frame structure, Shell structure, Combination structure.
What is the difference between a Dendritic drainage pattern and a Trellis drainage pattern?
A dendritic pattern looks like tree branches and forms on uniform rock. A trellis pattern looks like a rectangular grid and forms along parallel ridges and valleys.
What is the difference between primary and secondary succession?

True or False: If you push a car from the inside by pressing your hands against the wheel, you are applying an external force that will make the car move forward.
False, because you are inside the car, you are part of the car's system. Your push is an internal force, so the car will not move forward. You must stand outside on the road to apply an external force to move it.
