    Study Notes

    Matter Classification

    • Matter is classified into pure substances and mixtures.
    • Pure substances have a fixed, constant composition.
    • Pure substances' properties are fixed and constant.
    • Component parts of pure substances cannot be separated by physical means.
    • Mixtures have a variable composition.
    • Mixture properties vary since components retain individual properties.
    • Mixture components can be separated by physical means.

    Pure Substances

    • Pure substances are classified into elements and compounds.

    Elements

    • Elements are the simplest form of matter.
    • Elements cannot be broken down into simpler parts by ordinary chemical or physical means (excluding nuclear reactions).
    • The smallest particle having the same properties as the element is an atom.
    • Each element is composed of only one kind of atom.

    Compounds

    • Compounds are composed of more than one kind of atom.
    • Atoms in compounds are chemically combined in fixed proportions by mass.
    • Compounds cannot be separated into their components by physical means.
    • Compound properties differ from the properties of their constituent elements.

    Mixtures

    • Mixtures consist of two or more substances.
    • Substances in mixtures are physically combined.
    • Proportions of substances in mixtures vary.
    • Mixture components retain their own properties.

    Homogeneous Mixtures

    • Homogeneous mixtures have uniform properties throughout.
    • Component parts cannot be distinguished.
    • Solutions are examples of homogeneous mixtures.

    Heterogeneous Mixtures

    • Heterogeneous mixtures are non-uniform.
    • Component parts can be distinguished.
    • Suspensions and colloids are examples of heterogeneous mixtures.
