Element : The simplest form of matter that cannot be broken down into a simpler substance is called an element. Elements are pure substances consisting of only one type of atom. Examples include hydrogen, oxygen, and gold.
Solvent : The part of a solution that dissolves the solute is known as the solvent. In many solutions, water is a common solvent. The solvent is usually present in greater amount compared to the solute.
Tyndall Effect : The scattering and reflecting of light caused by the colloid particles is known as the Tyndall Effect. This phenomenon is observed when light passes through a colloid, making the path of the light visible.
Water (H₂O) : When hydrogen is combined with oxygen through a chemical reaction, it forms water. The chemical formula for water is H₂O, and it forms when two hydrogen atoms bond with one oxygen atom.
Homogeneous : In a solution, the appearance of the components is uniform, making it look consistent throughout. This is also known as a homogeneous mixture where you cannot distinguish between the solute and the solvent.
Solvent : To make a diluted solution, more solvent has to be added to the mixture. This decreases the concentration of the solute within the solution.
Homogeneous Mixture : A type of mixture with components that are evenly distributed is called a homogeneous mixture. Solutions fall under this category, where the solute is uniformly distributed within the solvent.
Smog : A type of air pollution produced by combining smoke and fog is known as smog. Smog is a common environmental issue in urban areas, caused by emissions from vehicles, industries, and burning of coal and other fuels.
