    Study Notes

    Mixtures

    • A blend of two or more substances, each retaining their individual properties.
    • Substances in a mixture do not undergo chemical reactions.

    Classification of Matter

    • Matter is the fundamental building block of the universe.
    • Mixtures are combinations of substances where each substance retains its original properties.
      • Homogeneous mixtures have a uniform composition throughout.
      • Heterogeneous mixtures have a non-uniform composition throughout.
    • Pure Substances are composed of a single type of matter.
      • Elements are the simplest pure substances, appearing on the periodic table.
      • Compounds are formed when two or more elements combine chemically.

    Types of Mixtures

    • Homogeneous Mixtures (also called solutions) have uniform composition and properties throughout, making them indistinguishable.
      • Prepared through physical processes and can be separated physically.
    • Heterogeneous Mixtures exhibit a non-uniform composition, with identifiable distinct components.
      • Possess a non-uniform distribution of components.
