Molecule - ANS A small particle made from more than one atom bonded together.
Element - ANS A substance made up from atoms that contain the same number of protons.
Compound - ANS A substance made from two or more elements chemically bonded together.
Mixture - ANS A combination of two or more substances, either elements and/or compounds, that are
not chemically bonded together.
Sublimation - ANS The change straight from a solid to gas.

Covalent Bonding - ANS The sharing of electrons between a non metal and a non metal
Anode - ANS Positive electrode, where oxidation occurs.
Cathode - ANS Negative electrode , where reduction occurs.
Catalyst - ANS A substance that speeds up a chemical reaction but which is chemically unchanged at the
end of the reaction.
Anion - ANS A negatively charged ion that move towards the Anode during electrolysis.
Cation - ANS A positively charged ion that move toward the Cathode during electrolysis.
Electrolysis - ANS The process in which electricity is used to break compounds down into their elements.
Electrolyte - ANS The mixture that is being electrolysed that must be liquid to allow ions to move.
Brine - ANS A concentrated solution of sodium chloride in water.
