    Study Notes

    Matter Classification

    • Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass
    • Matter can be classified as pure substances or mixtures
    • Pure substances are made of only one type of atom or molecule
    • Mixtures contain two or more substances that are not chemically bonded

    Pure Substances

    • Pure substances have a fixed composition
    • They cannot be separated into simpler substances by physical means, like filtration or distillation
    • Examples include elements and compounds

    Elements

    • Elements are the simplest form of matter
    • They cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical reactions
    • Elements are made up of only one type of atom
    • Examples of elements include gold (Au), sodium (Na), iron (Fe)
    • Elements are further classified as metals, nonmetals, and metalloids

    Metals

    • Metals are typically solids at room temperature
    • They are good conductors of heat and electricity
    • They are malleable (can be hammered into sheets) and ductile (can be drawn into wires)
    • They have a shiny luster or are lustrous
    • Examples of metals include iron, copper, gold, and silver

    Nonmetals

    • Nonmetals are not good conductors of heat and electricity
    • They are typically not malleable or ductile
    • They may be solids, liquids or gases at room temperature
    • Examples include hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), chlorine (Cl)

    Metalloids

    • Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals
    • They can be lustrous or dull
    • They are semiconductors (conduct electricity better than nonmetals but not as well as metals)
    • Examples of metalloids include boron (B), silicon (Si), and germanium (Ge)

    Compounds

    • Compounds are formed when two or more elements combine chemically in a fixed ratio
    • They have different properties from the elements they are made of
    • Examples of compounds include water (H₂O), sodium chloride (NaCl), and carbon dioxide (CO₂)

    Mixtures

    • Mixtures are formed when two or more substances are mixed together physically, without any chemical reaction
    • Mixtures do not have a fixed composition and their properties depend on the proportion of the components
    • Mixtures can be homogeneous or heterogeneous

    Homogeneous Mixtures

    • Homogeneous mixtures have uniform composition throughout
    • The components are not easily distinguishable
    • Examples include saltwater solutions, sugar dissolved in water, air

    Heterogeneous Mixtures

    • Heterogeneous mixtures have non-uniform composition
    • The components are easily distinguishable
    • Examples include sand and water, oil and water, a salad

    Solutions

    • Solutions are homogeneous mixtures of a solute and a solvent
    • The solute is the substance that is dissolved, and the solvent is the substance that dissolves the solute
    • Examples of solutions include saltwater, sugar water, and air

    Concentration of a Solution

    • Concentration measures the amount of solute present in a given amount of solution
    • Different units for concentration exist, such as mass percentage, volume percentage and molarity

    Solubility

    • Solubility is the maximum amount of a solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature
    • Solubility can be affected by temperature

    Colloids

    • Colloids are heterogeneous mixtures with particles of intermediate size between solutions and suspensions
    • Colloidal particles do not settle out over time and scatter light (Tyndall effect)
    • Examples include milk, fog, and smoke

    Suspensions

    • Suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures with large, visible particles suspended in a liquid or gas
    • The particles settle out over time
    • Examples include muddy water and sand in water

    Properties of Matter

    • Physical changes do not alter the identity of a substance

    • Chemical changes create new substances

    • Examples of physical changes include melting, freezing, dissolving

    • Examples of chemical changes include combustion and oxidation

    The Tyndall Effect

    • The Tyndall effect is the scattering of light by colloidal particles
    • The scattering of light is due to the difference in the size of the particles of the colloid and the wavelength of light

    Classification Examples

    • Classify sodium, soil, sugar solution, silver, calcium carbonate, tin, silicon, coal, air, soap, methane, carbon dioxide, and blood into elements, compounds, and mixtures.

    Alloy

    • Examples of alloys are mixtures of different metals
    • An example of an alloy is brass, which is a mixture of zinc and copper
