3 Pure Substance A substance is a type of matter that has a fixed or definite composition (makeup). All substances are made of atoms.

4 Element When a substance is made up of just one type of atom it is called an element. Ex. Gold, Copper, Helium, Oxygen

5 Compound When a substance is made of two or more elements it is called a compound. Ex. Water, Table Salt, Carbon Dioxide

6 Mixture Matter with a variable composition (makeup). It is made of two or more substances and can easily be separated.

7 Heterogeneous Mixture
A mixture that contains different materials that are unevenly distributed and can be easily identified. *How is this different from a compound?

8 Homogeneous Mixtures A mixture of solid, liquid or gas that contains two or more substances blended evenly throughout. Also known as a solution. A solution is a homogeneous mixture of particles so small that they cannot be seen with a microscope and would never settle.

9 *Colloid is often a mixture of things that don’t
A type of mixture with particles that are larger than those in solutions but not heavy enough to settle to the bottom of the container. *Colloid is often a mixture of things that don’t mix. 

10 A mixture containing a liquid in which visible particles settle.
Suspension A mixture containing a liquid in which visible particles settle.
