A mixture in which different parts of the mixture are visible.
Non-metals
found to the right of the staircase on the periodic table
Mass
the amount of "stuff" something is made up of
Mixture
a comination of pure substances (i.e. more than one type of particle in this substance)
Volume
how much space something takes up
Atomic Mass
located at the bottom of the tile, tells us the number of protons plus neutrons
Matter
anything that has both mass and volume
Homogenous Mixture
A mixture that looks the same throughout (the separate components are not visible)
Atomic Number
located at the top of the tile, tells us the number on the periodic table (where to find it) as well as the number of protons.
Pure Substance
made up of only one kind of matter and has a unique set of properties. Either an element or a compound.
Element
a substance that is made up of 1 type of atom (it cannot be broken down into any simpler substance by chemical means)
Chemical property
Any ability to produce a change in the composition of matter (i.e. changing into a new substance or substances with new properties)
Atom
smallest part of matter
Neutron
a part of the atom with no charge that lives in the nucleus
Nucleus
the dense center of an atom.
Metalloids
found on the staircase in-between the metals on the left and the nonmetals on the right
Symbol
an abbreviation of the element name
Group or Family
a column (up and down) on the periodic table, there are 8
Compound
a pure substance that is made from two or more elements that are combined together chemically (i.e. one type of particle, but the particles are made u...
Period
Rows across the periodic table, there are 7 of them.
Metals
found to the left of the staircase, make up most of the periodic table
Physical property
color, texture, odor, and the temperature at which a substance melts are examples of
Proton
a part of the atom with a positive charge that lives in the nucleus
Electron
a part of the atom with a negative charge that lives outside of the nucleus
