Orange
A pure form of matter.
A homogeneous mixture of one or more solutes dissolved in a solvent
It is a logical conclusion or educated guess drawn from evidence, observation, and existing knowledge. It is a process of using gathered data and reasoning to make sense of phenomena, form hypotheses, and extend understanding beyond what is directly observed.
What is Inference?
It is a group of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds. These bonds are formed by the sharing (covalent) or transfer (ionic) of electrons, making molecules the fundamental "building blocks" of most matter in the universe, such as water, air, and living organisms.
What is a molecule?
A combination of two or more substances in any proportions.
What is a mixture?
A homogeneous mixture of one or more solutes dissolved in a solvent
What is an Observation?
It is the measure of the amount of matter, or "stuff," in an object.
It's a fundamental property of an object that tells you how much substance it contains, not how heavy it is.
What is Mass?
It is a substance that can be dissolved into a solution by a solvent. It can take many forms. It may be in the form of a gas, a liquid, or a solid.
What is a Solute?
This refers to observations, descriptions, and data that are non-numerical and descriptive.
Instead of measuring something with numbers, this approach focuses on the qualities or characteristics of what is being studied, often using the five senses.
What is Qualitative?
It is the measure of the three-dimensional space occupied by an object or substance.
It's a fundamental property of matter, indicating how much "room" something takes up, and is typically measured in cubic units like cubic centimeters (cm³) or liters (L).
What is Volume?
It is a measure of a material's resistance to permanent changes in shape, such as being scratched, dented, or abraded. It is a physical property that indicates how well a substance can withstand mechanical forces. A harder material will resist these changes more effectively than a softer one.
What is Hardness?
It is a pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. It consists of only one type of atom, all of which have the same number of protons in their nucleus, which is known as the element's atomic number.
What is Elements?
It is the ability of a substance, called a solute, to dissolve in another substance, called a solvent, and form a uniform mixture known as a solution.
It's a fundamental physical property that indicates the maximum amount of a solute that can dissolve under specific conditions.
What is Solubility?
It is the fundamental building block of matter, meaning everything tangible around us is made of this.
Each one is the smallest unit of an element and consists of a central nucleus containing positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons, with negatively charged electrons orbiting the nucleus.
What is an Atom?
Any substance that has mass and occupies space (has volume). It is the "stuff" that makes up the universe and everything within it, including you, rocks, water, and even air, and is composed of atoms and molecules.
What is Matter?
It is a quality or characteristic that describes and identifies a substance or object. These can be physical, which are observable or measurable characteristics like color, size, or density, and can be seen without changing the substance.
What is a Property?
This refers to anything that can be measured or counted and expressed in numerical values.
This approach emphasizes objective measurement and the mathematical or statistical analysis of data to identify patterns, test hypotheses, and make predictions.
What is Quantitative?
It is a physical form a substance can take, like solid, liquid, or gas, distinguished by its properties such as shape, volume, and the behavior of its particles (atoms or molecules)
What is a State of Matter?
It is a pure substance formed when two or more different chemical elements are chemically joined together in a fixed ratio. Water (H₂O) and table salt (NaCl) are common examples of this, each formed by the specific chemical bonding of different elements in a consistent proportion.
What is a Compound?
It is a substance, typically a liquid, that can dissolve or disperse other substances, called solutes, to form a solution. Water is a common example, often called the "universal ...," that dissolves substances like salt or sugar to create a mixture where the solid particles are evenly distributed in the liquid.
What is a Solvent?
