14. A homogenous mixture is one that is even throughout. An example of a homogenous mixture is a solution of water that has sugar stirred in.
15. A heterogeneous mixture is one that is not even throughout. Thus, differences in the mixture are visible. An example of a heterogeneous mixture is a mixture of water and sand.
16. A physical change is a change that alters the physical characteristics of the material. An example of a physical change is grinding an element into smaller pieces.
17. A chemical change is one that alters the chemical make up of an atom. Burning wood into ash is an example of a chemical change
18. A nuclear change is one that changes the atom's nucleus. There are fission and fusion reactions that cause nuclear changes. An example of a nuclear change is the fusing together of two hydrogen atoms in the sun.
19. Bose-Einstein condensates are the results of atoms clumping together at temperatures near zero kelvin. For example, Rubidium was used to make a Bose-Einstein condensate by cooling it close to zero kelvin for the first time in 1995.
20. Liquid is a state of matter between gas and solid. Liquids form to the shape of their container, and they are difficult to compress. Liquids also have forces that keep them together. An example of a liquid is water.
21. Gases are matter in a very active form. They are usually spread out and very active. An example of a gas is oxygen.
22. Plasmas are a lot like gases except they have free electrons and ions. An example of plasmas are the Northern Lights.
23. Solids are matter in a state that is hard, and the atoms cannot move around that much. Solids hold their own shape. An example of a solid is a rock.
