The Wonderful World of SCIENCE brings you--

Danielle and Hannah’s marvelously stupendous webular page.

Today’s topic is classifying matter. We will start with::

>Element:: any substance that cannot be broken down into a simpler one by a chemical reaction.

Example: Copper is an element because it is all the same no matter where you look at it and it cannot be broken down with chemical reaction. J

Danielle’s Dandy Definition-- element is a skateboarding brand…DUH.

>Compound:: a chemical combination of two or more elements. Can be decomposed by chemical reaction.

Example: Salt

Hannah’s Helpful Hint--Umm…it can dissolve?

PARTICLES GET BIGGER

>Solution:: its composed of a solute and solvent…

Example: Lemonade

Danielle’s Dandy Definition—What’s a Solute? And what the heck is a Solvent?

Hannah’s Helpful Hints—Solute is SUGAR!!!!! IT DISSOLVES! And Solvent it the one that it dissolves in!

>Colloid:: Particles do not settle out through time. You can’t see the particles with your eye.

Example: Glue

Hannah’s Helpful Hints—It’s thick-y and sticky!

PARTICLES GET EVEN MORE BIGGERER

>Suspension: Particles in liquid that settle out due to gravity. You CAN see the particles with your eyes.

Example: Vinegar (with stuff floating in it)

Danielle Dandy Definition— I think that means that you can see little floating things, just like my brothers after they eat crackers and drink water. (Ha.)

>Heterogeneous: Components can’t be distinguished…not uniform in appearance.

Example: Cereal

Hannah’s Helpful Hints—Classified as um…uhm…wait! I know! Physically bonded…not chemically! Danielle’s Dandy Definitions—Like Dirty Laundry!
