Flashcards
Pure substance
Pure substance
A substance made up of only one type of particle, having distinct properties like its melting point, boiling point, and color. It cannot be broken down into simpler substances by physical means.
Compound
Compound
A substance made up of two or more different elements chemically combined in a fixed ratio. These cannot be separated by physical means.
Element
Element
A substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by ordinary chemical means. Composed of only one type of atom.

Study Notes
Classification of Matter
- Matter is anything with mass and volume
- Matter is classified by its physical properties, such as state, color, size, shape, and smell
- Physical properties are determined by particle arrangement
- Matter is classified into mixtures and pure substances
Mixtures
-
Mixtures have two or more different types of particles
-
Three kinds of mixtures: mechanical mixtures, solutions, and suspensions
-
Mechanical mixtures are heterogeneous, noticeable layers/phases, with examples including salads, nut mixes, and spice mixes
-
Solutions are homogeneous, one layer/phase, often translucent. Examples include sugar dissolved in tea or coffee
-
Suspensions are heterogeneous, cloudy or opaque, with particles of one substance held within another. Examples include tomato juice
Pure Substances
- Pure substances have only one type of particle
- Pure substances have unique properties, such as melting point, boiling point, color, and hardness
- Two kinds of pure substances: elements and compounds
Elements
- Elements are the most pure kind of substance
- Elements cannot be broken down into anything simpler
- Elements are found on the periodic table
- Elements are made up of one kind of atom. Examples: oxygen (O2), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), and carbon (C)
Compounds
- Compounds are made by combining two or more different elements together
- Compounds are one kind of molecule
- Molecules are made of atoms/elements
- Example: sodium chloride (NaCl, or salt) is made up of sodium and chlorine atoms.
- Water (Hâ‚‚O) is a compound made of hydrogen and oxygen atoms.
