Matter and Separation

3. A material composed of only one type of substance, either an element or a compound, with a fixed composition.
5. A combination of two or more substances that are physically combined but can be separated by physical means.
7. The physical form in which matter exists, typically categorized as solid, liquid, or gas.
10. Anything that has mass and occupies space, including solids, liquids, and gases.
13. The liquid or solution that passes through the filter during the process of filtration, leaving behind the solid particles.
15. A separation technique that involves passing a mixture through a filter to separate solid particles from a liquid (or gas).

1. A laboratory technique used to separate and analyze the components of a mixture based on their ability to dissolve and move through a medium..
2. A separation technique that involves heating a mixture to separate its components based on differences in their boiling points.
4. The transition of a substance directly from a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid phase.
6. An atom or molecule can be described this way.
8. A pure substance consisting of one type of atom, characterized by its atomic number on the periodic table.
9. The change of a substance from a solid to a liquid state due to an increase in temperature.
11. A homogeneous mixture where one substance (solute) is evenly distributed in another (solvent).
12. The process by which a liquid turns into a gas, usually as a result of heating or exposure to air.
14. The amount of mass contained in a given volume, usually expressed as mass per unit volume
