Separation :
Filtration : to re m ove insoluble solid from a liquid A solvent is a substance that dissolves a solute .
The filtered material is the residue the liquid is the filtrate A solute is a substance that is disolved in a solvent
,
A solution is a mixture of one or m o re solutes dissolved in a solvent
Crystalisation : to obtain a solid from its solution When water is the solvent the solution
,
is called
aqueous .
Distillation : a
way
to separate substances from a liquid mixture by boiling & then , condensing
·
The solubility of a substance in water is the amout that dissolves in
100g of water at that temperature .
Paper chromatography : to separate substances from a mixture

A solution is called saturated when it can dissolve m o re solute at that
to check whether a substance is
pure temperature
to identify substances in a mixture
distance from origin to dot
Rf :
distance from origin to solvent front
You can check if
something is pure by :
finding melting O boiling points

Atoms bond with each other in order to obtain a full outer shell of electrons
Positive ions a re called cations A single covalent bond is
formed when two atoms share a
pair of electrons .
Negative ions a re called anions Non metals react with each other to form covalent compounds
The ionic bond is a
