  25. 45. parts of mixture look different/distinguishable
  26. 46. an element or substance that is not a metal.
  27. 48. the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, which determines the chemical properties of an element and its place in the periodic table
  28. 49. all atoms want 8 valence electrons like the noble gases
  29. 51. a multiplier or factor that measures some property
  30. 53. the symbolic representation of a chemical reaction in the form of symbols and formulae
