Science Notes 192-196

Matter can be anything that has mass and take up space.

There are three types of matter solid,liquid and gas.

A Solid is something that has a definite shape and volume meaning that a solid has molecules that are joined together and fill it up and don't fly around

A liquid is a matter that does not have a definite shape or volume and all the particles inside move around.

Gas is a matter that does not have a fixed shape or volume and has particles all over the place.

Matter can be grouped in pure substances or mixtures.

A Pure substance is produced by one matter only. An example is sugar because all the tiny bits of sugar are the same.

A mixture is made up of two or more substances.

There are other types of mixtures like mechanical mixture,heterogeneous mixture and homogeneous and each are different.

Mechanical mixtures are also called heterogeneous meaning that they are made up of many different substances.

Solutions are the same but made up of two or more substances.

We can also call pure substances homogeneous because it forms around pure substances. Homogeneous means that something is the same;alike

Solutions can also be called homogeneous
mixtures because they look the same throughout everything
