1
chemistry
 
the study of composition and reaction of substances.

two types of matter?
 
pure substance and mixture 
3
what are two pure substances?
 
element and compound
4
what are two mixtures?
 
heterogeneous and homogenous
5
element
 
a substance whoes smallest particles are the same
6
what  four elements make up 96% of the human body?
 
hydrogen, oxygen, carbon and nitrogen
7
compound
 
a pure substance that contains more then one element and has a fixed composition.
8
mixtures
 
a combination of two or more substances in which the substances retain there chemical formula
9
homogeneous mixture
 
compositions is the same throughout
10
heterogenous mixtures
 
composition varies throughout
11
chromotography
 
the process of seperation substances in a mixture
12
volume
 
amount of space an object takes up

zeros beyond the decmil point are signifigant(i.e. 24.00)
 
fun fact
16
zeros proceding the first non zero are not signifigant.(i.e. 00.004 only has one significant...
 
fun fact

atom
 
the smallest particle of an element that retains the chemical properties of an element 
25
law of conservation of mass
 
there is no change in mass in an ordinary chemical reaction
26
law of constant composition
 
a compound always contains the same elements in the same ratio by mass
