6. A solution that contains a large amount of dissolved solute.
9. substance Matter that has a fixed, constant chemical composition and distinct properties throughout.
10. A pure substance made entirely of one type of atom that cannot be broken down further by chemical means.
11. A mixture that is not uniform throughout, where you can see and separate the individual parts.
13. A heterogeneous mixture with large particles that will eventually settle down to the bottom over time.
15. The substance that does the dissolving (usually a liquid).
16. A mixture with medium-sized particles that stay suspended and do not settle, often scattering light.
18. Two or more liquids that can fully dissolve into each other to form a uniform solution.
20. The property of a substance that prevents it from being dissolved in a liquid.

1. A solution that holds the maximum possible amount of dissolved solute at a specific temperature.
2. A solution that contains only a small amount of dissolved solute relative to the solvent.
3. A mixture that is completely uniform throughout, looking identical from top to bottom.
4. A combination of two or more substances that are physically blended together but not chemically bonded.
5. A homogeneous mixture formed when one substance completely dissolves into another.
7. The smallest individual unit of an element that retains its chemical properties.
8. The process where a solid breaks down at a molecular level and disperses evenly throughout a liquid.
12. A substance formed when two or more different elements are chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio.
