    Study Notes

    Classification of Matter

    • Matter is divided into two main categories: mixtures and pure substances.

    Mixtures

    • Mixtures are further classified into heterogeneous and homogeneous types.
    • Mixtures consist of two or more pure substances that can be separated by physical means.

    Heterogeneous vs. Homogeneous Mixtures

    • Heterogeneous mixtures have two or more distinct phases, allowing for visible separation.
    • Homogeneous mixtures, also known as solutions, consist of a single phase where components are uniformly distributed.

    Pure Substances

    • Pure substances fall into two categories: elements and compounds.

    Elements

    • Elements are represented by chemical symbols and are made up of atoms.
    • The chemical symbol for carbon is C, and for oxygen, it is O.
    • Oxygen occurs as O2, indicating that it consists of two atoms.
    • Elements are defined by their atomic structure and cannot be broken down further.

    Compounds

    • Compounds are represented by chemical formulas and are composed of molecules.
    • Common examples of chemical formulas include sodium chloride (NaCl) for salt and water (H2O).
    • Molecules in compounds can be broken down into atoms through chemical changes.
