Matter - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Cannot be separated into simpler substances by any means
      - Each element has a unique symbol and chemical name
    - - Made of two or more elements
      - Chemically combined
      - Most matter is made of compounds
  - - - Solutions
        
        Mixture of solids, liquids, or gases
      - Constant composition throughout
      - Always has one single phase
    - - Suspension
        
        Colloids
        
        Settle out of solution
        
        Particles in suspension are much larger than atoms
        
        Mixture containing particles that settle out if left undisturbed
        
        Thixotropic: Solidlike mixture settles on the bottom and water on the top
      - Does not blend smoothly throughout
      - Individual substances remain distinct
- - - - Dependent on amount of substance
      - Ex: Mass, Length, Volume
    - - Independent of amount of substance
      - Substances can be identified by as little as one intensive property
      - Ex: Density, Melting Point, Boiling Point
    - - Change in appearance, not composition
      - Ex: Crumpling aluminum foil, cutting paper, breaking crystal
  - - - One or more substances changes into a new one
      - Reactants: Starting Substances
        Products: New Substances
      - New substances have different compositions and different properties
      - Chemical Reaction
      - Law of Conservation of Mass
        
        Mass of reactants = Mass of products
