Study Notes
Classification of Matter
- A particle can be a single atom or a molecule, functioning as a unit.
- Definition of particle: singular atom or bonded atoms.
Subscripts and Molecules
- Subscripts indicate the number of specific atoms in a molecule.
Pure Substances vs. Mixtures
- Pure substances do not have spaces or "&" between letters.
- Mixtures contain an "&" between letters.
- Examples indicate that "Sq2 & R" and "T & RSq & R" are mixtures.
- "TSq2R" is identified as a pure substance.
Elements and Compounds
- Compounds are identified by codes containing multiple elements (e.g., "SqR3", "RSq").
- Elements are represented with a single capital letter (e.g., "Sq2", "T", "Br2", "Al").
- Molecules consist of two or more atoms; compounds contain at least two different elements.
Physical vs. Chemical Separation
- Straining pasta is a physical separation.
- Using a fuel cell to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen is a chemical separation.
Separation Methods
- Mixtures can be separated by physical means, while compounds require chemical separation.
Differences Between Atoms, Elements, and Molecules
- An element consists of one type of atom, whereas a molecule is formed by two or more atoms joined together.
- The distinction between a molecule and a compound is that a compound is a molecule containing at least two different elements.
