A plasma is an
ionized gas.
A plasma is a very

affected by
magnetic fields.

• A substance is a type of matter that has the same
properties and the same composition throughout a
sample.
• A chemical change, on the other hand, results in a
conversion from the original substance.
• When a chemical change occurs new substance(s) are
formed through a reorganization of the atoms.
• Substances can combine to produce compounds, a pure
substance that can be decomposed into 2 or more
different substances,
• or mixtures which can be separated by a physical change
into 2 or more substances which are not chemically
combined.

2) All atoms of the same element are exactly alike; in particular, they
all have the same mass (Proust).

d) Rutherford (1909): Solar (Planetary) System Model -
performed a set of experiments with alpha particles and gold foil.
He discovered that atoms mostly consist of empty space and
have a small, dense, positively charged center (nucleus).
