Study Notes
Compounds
- Elements in a compound are chemically combined; conversion to elements requires chemical reactions.
- Water can yield hydrogen via reaction with sodium or through electrolysis.
- Compounds exhibit unique physical and chemical properties distinct from their elemental components.
- Example: Water, a liquid, is formed from hydrogen (explosive gas) and oxygen (highly reactive gas).
Chemical and Physical Properties
- Chemical Properties: Describe substance behavior during chemical reactions.
- Physical Properties: Include attributes such as melting point, density, hardness, and electrical conductivity.
- Example: Sodium chloride (table salt) is formed from sodium (reactive metal) and chlorine (toxic gas) but has very different reactions compared to its elemental components.
Mixtures
- Mixtures consist of pure substances like elements and compounds, but most materials are mixtures.
- Air is a common mixture, primarily composed of nitrogen, oxygen, and argon along with compounds such as carbon dioxide and water vapor.
- Blood serves as a mixture transporting oxygen throughout the body.
- Mixtures maintain individual properties as components are not chemically bonded.
Types of Mixtures
- Homogeneous Mixtures: Uniform composition throughout with only one phase, like solutions and gas mixtures.
- Heterogeneous Mixtures: Non-uniform composition with distinct boundaries between phases, e.g., sand in water, milk, and orange juice.
Additional Key Points
- Compounds consist of components that lose their individual properties to form new materials.
- Example of a compound: Iron sulfide, which is not magnetic and reacts to form toxic hydrogen sulfide gas.
- Mixtures can be created in any proportion, unlike fixed ratios in compounds.
- Solutions demonstrate uniform concentration throughout—any sample would yield the same mass upon evaporation.
- Distinct phases in heterogeneous mixtures can settle, as evident in orange juice with suspended materials.
