Granite 3. Air 4. hydrogen 5. NaCl 6. salad dressing 7. Water 8. Soil 9. Methane 10. Carbon 11. Blood 12. CO2 13. Helium 14. fruit salad 15. Nitrogen 16. salt water 17. Sodium chloride 18. Tomato soup 19. Copper Question 2: Directions: Complete the sentences with suitable words: 1. Almost all matter can be classified into two major categories substances and Mixtures 2. Matter that is made up of the same combination of atoms is called an Element 3. Substances that are physically blended but not chemically bonded together are called Mixtures

2 4. Mixtures have Different amounts of the same substances. 5. Two types of mixtures are homogeneous and Heterogeneous 6. Matter that is made up of chemically bonded atoms from two or more elements is called a Compound 7. An example of a homogeneous solution is Air. 8. Properties of a Compound can be different from the properties of its elements. 9. The properties found in a Mixture are the same before and after mixing has taken place. 10. Physical methods can separate Mixtures. 11. A chemical change is needed to separate Compounds. 12. Some of the properties of the substances that make up a mixture can be observed in the mixture. 13. Air is a Homogeneous mixture 14. Water (H2O) is a Compound. 15. Parts of Solutions a. The substance that exists in the greatest quantity in a solution is called the. b. The substances that exist in lesser quantities in a solution are. 16. Types of Solutions a. Water can exist in three different States. of matter as solids, liquids, or gases. 17. Water as a Solvent a. Water is a(n) polar molecule, which means that one end of the molecule has a slightly negative charge and the other end has a slightly Positive charge.

3 18. Like Dissolves Like a. polar solvents dissolve polar solutes easily. b. non-polar solvents dissolved nonpolar solutes easily. c. Water molecules are polar, so the charged ends of the molecules are attracted to the oppositely charged ends of other polar molecules, which make it easy for polar solutes to dissolve in water. d. Ionic compounds are formed of alternating positive and negative charges e. The charged ends of a(n) polar molecule, such as water, are attracted to the ends that have the opposite charges. f. Ionic compounds, such as sodium chloride, dissolve easily in water. 19. Concentration How much is dissolved? a. The amount of a particular solute in a given amount of solvent is called the Concentration. b. The concentration of a solute in a given quantity of solution can be stated using two measurements mass, which is often stated in grams, and Volume, which is usually stated in liters. c. To calculate the concentration of a solution made of a solid solute and a liquid solution using mass and volume, you divide the mass of the solute by the volume of the solution. d. If a solution is made of two solids or two gases, then the concentration of the solution is given as a(n) percentage. 20. Solubility How much can dissolve? a. The maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a given temperature and pressure is called solubility. b. A solution that contains the maximum amount of solute the solution can hold at a given temperature and pressure is a(n) saturated solution. c. A solution that can still dissolve more solute at a given temperature and pressure is a(n) unsaturated solution. d. Changing the temperature or the will pressure change the solubility of a solution. 21. How Fast a Solute Dissolves a. Increasing the amount of contact between particles of a solute and the heat will cause the solute to dissolve faster.

Objects in space (g.) revolve around the Sun along a stretched-out circle called a(n) (h.) elliptical orbit. Planets also (i.) rotate, or spin. There are four (j.) inner planets that are made up mostly of solid rocky materials. These objects are spherical and have a mass larger than the total mass of all other objects whose orbits are nearby. There also are four (k.) outer Planets made of gases, including helium and hydrogen. These four planets are sometimes termed (l.) gas giants. Distance in space is measured in (m.) astronomical units. A planet s speed changes as it orbits the Sun. A planet that is close to the Sun moves (n.) faster than a planet that is far from the Sun. Also, planets that are (o.) farther from the Sun have longer periods of revolution than planets that are closer to the Sun. The shape of a planet s orbit is determined by two (p.) focus points. These (q.) foci are equal distances from the center of the ellipse.
