Concepts Covered in Pure Substances Games

Substances made up of a single type of atom or molecule differ from mixtures, which are a combination of multiple types of atoms or molecules that are not chemically combined.

Some pure substances occur naturally, such as water, oxygen, and sugar. Others, like nylon, are synthetic.

Pure substances have distinct chemical and physical properties that are the same for every sample of the substance. These include density, color, odor, solubility, state of matter at room temperature, and more.

We can observe and measure these properties with a variety of scientific tools, like thermometers, scales, burners, magnets, graduated cylinders, other chemicals, and many more.
