What is an atom?
This is the chemical symbol for calcium.
What is Ca?
Molar mass is found using this information from the periodic table.
What is atomic mass?
This is the substance that does the dissolving in a solution.
What is the solvent?
This type of mixture contains larger particles that will settle if left undisturbed.
What is a suspension?
This type of substance accepts hydrogen ions (H⁺) or releases hydroxide ions (OH⁻) in a solution and often tastes bitter or feels slippery.
What is a base?
This number tells you how many protons an element has.
What is the atomic number?
This number placed in front of a chemical formula shows how many units are involved in a reaction.
What is a coefficient?
This part of a nutrition label tells how much energy a serving provides.
What are calories?
This type of mixture has particles that stay evenly dispersed but are not fully dissolved.
What is a colloid?
These neutral particles are found in the nucleus and help keep the atom stable.
What are neutrons?
This term describes the amount of disorder or randomness in a system.
What is entropy?
This is the part of a chemical equation that shows the substances formed.
What are products?

What are reactants?
This macronutrient has the highest calories per gram.
What is fat?
This is a group of two or more atoms chemically bonded together, forming the smallest unit of a substance that keeps its chemical properties.
What is a molecule?
This type of substance donates hydrogen ions (H⁺) in a solution and often tastes sour.
What is an acid?
This fact determines whether an element is solid, liquid, or gas at room temperature.
What is its state of matter?
This law states that matter is not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
What is the Law of Conservation of Mass?
This type of mixture has one substance dissolved evenly into another.
What is a solution?
