    Castle Learning Matter HW Answer Key-
    1) 2   Elements can NEVER be decomposed chemically.
    2) 4   Solids have a regular geometric pattern.
    3) 2   Density is an intensive property that is the same for any sample size of a substance.
    4) 3   Gases have indefinite shape and indefinite volume
    5) 4
    6) 4   Any reaction indicates a chemical change has occurred.
    7) 2   Solids are fixed particles in regular geometric pattern.
    8) 3   Compounds can be decomposed chemically. All other choices are elements.
    9) 4
    10) 4 Elements can NEVER be decomposed chemically. All other choices are compounds.
    11) 1 Calcium= Ca, element. Diamond is made of Carbon= C, element. Uranium= U, element.
    12) 1
    13) 1
    14) 2
    15) 4
    16) Sample C contains a diatomic element (Fluorine= F2) and a binary compound (Hydrogen chloride= 2 different elements)
    17) Sample A is a binary compound and substance while sample B is a mixture of two different binary compounds. (2 substances are present in sample B, while only 1 substance is present in sample A)
    18) Heterogeneous
    19) NaCl(aq), the particles of salt and water and evenly distributed to give a uniform appearance.
    20)  NH4NO3 (s) dissolves in water making it aqueous, NH4NO3 (aq). All aqueous solutions are homogeneous mixtures.
    21) Mixture 1= homogenous because it is colorless with no visible solid on the bottom of the beaker. You cannot see the different components.
    Mixture 2= heteregeneous because you can see the black solid on the bottom of the beaker. All components are visible.
    22)  1
    23) 4
    24) 2 (aq)= aqueous= dissolved in water. All substances dissolved in water are a homogenous mixture.
