Study Notes
What is Matter?
- Matter occupies space and has mass.
- Comprises everything in the universe.
Classification of Matter
- Divided into Pure Substance and Mixture:
-
Pure Substance:
- Constant composition.
- Fixed set of properties, cannot be separated into simpler substances.
-
Mixture:
- Proportions of components may vary (e.g., Juice, Milk Tea).
- Properties vary with composition; can be physically separated into pure substances.
-
Pure Substance:
Pure Substance
-
Classification:
-
Element:
- Simplest substance, cannot be chemically subdivided.
-
Compound:
- Formed from two or more chemically bonded elements; can be chemically subdivided.
-
Element:
Elements
- Categories of elements:
- Metal: Good conductors of heat and electricity.
- Non-metal: Poor conductors, diverse properties.
- Metalloid: Intermediate properties between metals and non-metals.
Mixture
- Definition: Combination of two or more pure substances (e.g., Water + Salt = Salt Solution).
- Types:
-
Homogeneous Mixture:
- Uniform appearance and properties throughout.
-
Heterogeneous Mixture:
- Non-uniform appearance, properties vary throughout.
-
Homogeneous Mixture:
Example of Mixtures
- Homogeneous Example: Solution, appearance is transparent, light can pass through.
-
Heterogeneous Examples:
- Oil and water do not mix, forming distinct layers.
- Cereal in milk retains separate properties of both substances.
Separation Methods
- Techniques used to convert mixtures or solutions into distinct products:
- Filtration: Separates solids from liquids or gases using a filter.
- Distillation: Purifies liquid mixtures based on differences in boiling points.
