GENERAL CHEMISTRY EXAM STUDY GUIDE 3
1. Science ANS A method of asking questions and finding answers.
2. Matter ANS Everything in the universe that has mass or occupies space.
3. Energy ANS The capacity to transfer heat or do work.
4. Chemistry ANS The study of composition, structure, and properties of matter.
5. Homogenous ANS A mixture that is uniform throughout. (i.e. vinegar)
6. Heterogenous ANS A mixture that is NOT uniform throughout. (i.e. salad dressing)
7. Element ANS A pure substance that can not be broken down.
8. Compound ANS A substance consisting of two or more elements.
9. Law of Constant Composition ANS Every sample of a particular compound always
contains the same elements in the same proportions.
10. Atom ANS The smallest representative particle of an element.
11. Filtration ANS A way to separate a substance by using a medium to hold one of the
substances back. (i.e. using a sift)
12. Distillation ANS Vaporizing volatile components and condensing them.
13. Intensive Properties ANS Properties of matter independent of quantity. (i.e. color,
malleability, melting temperature)
