A liquid is defined as matter that has a definite volume BUT has no definite shape.

Molecules are always moving… fluidity. There are two elements that are liquids

at room temperature (25°C/ 77°F); MERCURY & BROMINE

MERCURYMercury

BROMINEBromine reaction

But, as you heat things up… four more elements become liquid.

For temperatures up to 40°C (104°F) Francium, Cesium, Gallium, & Rubidium will become liquids.

Notice that Bromine is the ONLY nonmetal that is in the liquid state.

Francium

Cesium

Gallium

Rubidium

There are other types of liquids too. (that are not elements)

water (H2O)

rubbing alcohol (C3H7OH)

These are pure liquids that have their own individual properties.

BUT, most things are mixed. When you put things together, that don’t mix, they call that a heterogeneous mixture.

These are chunky mixtures and may separate out over time.

One example is muddy water.

BUT, when you mix things together, and they stay together, it is called a SOLUTION.

Solutions are homogeneous mixtures which are smooth, uniform throughout.

Once mixed, the components will stay mixed. One example is salt water.

There are three types of solutions

unsaturated solution – more stuff can be still be mixed in the solution

saturated solution – the perfect amount of stuff is in the solution

supersaturated solution – extra stuff was mixed in the solution super demo

Examples of solutions arekoolaid- mixture of flavoring, sugar, & watersoda- mixture of flavoring, sugar, carbonated water, & acidbubbles- mixture of glycerin, soap, & waterwindex- mixture of ammonia, water, fragrances, etc.

1. Decide which element you would like to adopt.

2. Organize your binder
