• 7Cm.04 substance that are NOT joined together
Describe the differences • The amounts of substances in the solution
between elements, compounds
and mixtures, including alloys can change

 3. Do all substances dissolve?
• Substances that dissolve are soluble in water.
• Substances that do not dissolve are insoluble
Learning outcomes
• 7Cm.04 in water.
