Introduction 10.1 Classification of Matter We use the term matter to cover all In class VIII, You have substances and materials from which the universe studied the classification of is composed. Matter is everything around us. The matter on the basis of their air we breathe, the food we eat, the pen we write, physical states. Now let us see clouds, stones, plants, animals, a drop of water how we can classify matter or a grain of sand everything is matter. Samples on the basis of chemical of any of these materials have two properties in composition.Broadly speaking, it has been classified into pure substances and mixtures. common. They have mass and they occupy space. From the point of view of chemistry, pure substances are those which contain only one kind of particles whereas impure substances (mixtures) contain more than one kind of particles. Figure10.1 Examples to show Matter has mass The flow chart given below will help us to understand the chemical classification of matter in detail. Not all things that we see or feel Figure 10.2 Examples to show Matter are matter. For example, sunlight, occupies space sound, force and energy neither occupy space nor have any mass. They are not Thus, we say that matter is anything that matter. has mass and occupies space. 113 IX_SCI_EM_Unit-10_CHE.indd 113 12/12/2021 4:12:06 PM  Matter Pure substances Impure substances (Mixtures) Elements Compounds Homogeneous Heterogeneous Cannot be Can be broken Uniform Non-uniform broken into down into composition composition simpler elements by E.g., sugar + E.g., sand + substances chemical reactions H2O, water + sugar, water + E.g., copper, oxygen, E.g., water, sugar, alcohol oil hydrogen. salt, etc. Building block H, He, Li……. 118 elements of all materials Activity 1 1.

It compound? is not possible to obtain a simpler substance chemically from the aluminium atoms. You can 10.1.1 Elements only make more complicated substances from it, such as aluminium oxide, aluminium nitrate Most of you may be interested in music, and aluminum sulphate. and some of you may know how it is composed. Music is the combination of a few basic musical notes i.e., Sa, Re, Ga,…Thus, the building blocks Atom: The smallest unit of an element which of music are the musical notes. may or may not have an independent existence, but always takes part in a chemical reaction is Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa... Building blocks of music called atom. Likewise , all substances on earth are made Molecules: The smallest unit of a pure up of certain simple substances called elements. substance, which always exists independently Plants, cats, apples, rocks, cars and even our and can retain physical and chemical properties bodies contain elements. Thus, elements are the of that substance is called a molecule. building block of all materials. Examples: Hydrogen molecule consists of two In the modern periodic table hydrogen atoms (H2) there are 118 elements known Water molecule consists of two hydrogen to us, 92 of which are naturally atoms (H2) and one oxygen atom (O). occurring while the remaining 26 have been artificially created. But from these 118 All elements can be classified according elements, crores of compounds are formed- to various properties. A simple way to do this some naturally occurring and some artificial. is to classify them as metals, non metals and Isn’t that amazing? metalloids.

This mixture has the same properties. Tap water, milk, process is known as sublimation. Examples: air, ice cream, sugar syrup, ink, steel, bronze and salt Iodine, camphor, ammonium chloride etc., solution (Figure 10.4a) are homogeneous mixtures. Cotton plug A mixture in which the components can be seen Inverted funnel separately is called a heterogeneous mixture.

In order to obtain these useful substances, chemists often have to More to Know separate them from the impurities. The choice of a particular method to separate components The air freshners are used in toilets. The solid slowly sublimes and releases the pleasant of a mixture will depend on the properties of smell in the toilet over a certain period of the components of the mixture as well as their time. Moth balls, made of naphthalene are physical states (as shown in Table 10.3). used to drive away moths and some other 10.3.1 Sublimation insects. These also sublime over time. Certain solid substances when heated Camphor, is a substance used in Indian change directly from solid to gaseous state household. It sublimes to give a pleasant without attaining liquid state. The vapours smell and is sometimes used as a freshner.

It is fine insoluble solids from a solid- liquid the main process in perfume mixture can be separated in a machine called development and it is also used to obtain a centrifuge. A centrifuge rotates at a very dyes from various sources. high speed. On being rotated by centrifugal force, the heavier solid particles move down 10.3.4  Simple distillation and the lighter liquid remains at the top. Distillation is a process of obtaining pure liquid from a solution. It is actually a combination of evaporation and condensation i.e Distillation = Evaporation + Condensation In this method, a solution is heated in order to vapourise the liquid. The vapours of the liquid on cooling, condense into pure liquid. For example, sea water in many countries is converted into drinking water by distillation. Figure 10.6 Centrifugation This method is also used to separate two liquids whose boiling points differ more than 25 K. In milk diaries, centrifugation is used to separate cream from milk. In washing Steam is Steam condensed machines, this principle is used to squeeze in tube cooled by out water from wet clothes. Centrifugation water is also used in pathological laboratories to Cooling separate blood cells from a blood sample. water out Salt water Cooling water in 10.3.3 Solvent extraction Burner Pure water Two immiscible liquids can be separated by solvent extraction method. This method works on the principle of difference in Figure 10.8 Solvent extraction solubility of two immiscible liquids in a A distillation flask is fixed with a water suitable solvent. For example, mixture of water condenser. A thermometer is introduced into and oil can be separated using a separating the distillation flask through an one-holed funnel. Solvent extraction method is used in stopper. The bulb of the thermometer should pharmaceutical and petroleum industries. be slightly below the side tube. The brackish water (sea water) to be distilled Separating funnel is taken in the distillation flask and heated for boiling. The pure water vapour passes through Keroscene oil (organic layer) the inner tube of the condenser. The vapours on cooling condense into pure water (distillate) Water (aqueous layer) and are collected in a receiver. The salt are left Stopcock behind in the flask as a residue. 10.3.5 Fractional distillation To separate two or more miscible liquids Figure 10.7 Solvent extraction which do not differ much in their boiling Matter Around Us 118 IX_SCI_EM_Unit-10_CHE.indd 118 12/12/2021 4:12:09 PM  points (difference in boiling points is less based on the above basic principles. The than 25 K) fractional distillation is employed. simplest type is paper chromatography. Fractional distillation is used in Paper chromatography petrochemical industry to obtain different This method is used to separate the different fractions of petroleum, to separate the coloured dyes in a sample of ink. A spot of different gases from air, to distill alcohols etc. the ink (e.g. black ink) is put on to a piece of Thermometer chromatography paper. This paper is then set Water out in a suitable solvent as shown in figure 10.10. The black ink separates into its constituent dyes. Fractionating Column As the solvent moves up the paper, the dyes Alcohol and Water Cold Water are carried with it and begin to separate. They Alcohol separate because they have different solubility in the solvent and are adsorbed to different extents Figure 10.9 Fractional distillation by the chromatography paper. The chromatogram shows that the black ink contains three dyes. 10.3.6 Chromatography Before we discuss the technique we will 10.4 Solutions take a look at the difference between the two A solution is a homogeneous mixture important terms: Absorption and Adsorption of two or more substances. In a solution, the Adsorption is the process in which the component present in lesser amount by weight particles of a substance is concentrated only at is called solute and the component present in the surface of another substance. larger amount by weight is called solvent. Absorption is the process in which the In short, a solution can be represented as substance is uniformly distributed throughout follows: solute + solvent solution the bulk of another substance. Example: salt + water salt solution For example, when a chalk stick is dipped in ink, the surface retains the colour of the ink 10.4.1 Types of solution due to adsorption of coloured molecules while Based on the particle size of the solute, the solvent of the ink goes deeper into the stick the solutions are divided into three types. Let due to absorption. Hence, on breaking the chalk us study them through an activity. stick, it is found to be white from inside. Chromatography is also a separation Activity 5 technique. It is used to separate different Take bottles containing sugar, starch and components of a mixture based on their wheat flour.

The clear solution and the particles never settle combination of gas in gas is not possible because down. This mixture is called as true solution. gas in gas always forms a true solution. In the case of starch and water we get a cloudy Brownian movement mixture. This mixture is called as colloidial When colloidal solution are viewed under solution In the case of wheat flour mixed with water we get a very turbid mixture and fine powerful microscope, it can be seen that particles slowly settle down at the bottom after colloidal particles are moving constantly and some time. This mixture is called as suspension. rapidly in zig-zag directions. The Brownian movement of colloidal particles is due to the What are the differences among True unbalanced bombardment of the particles by solutions, colloids and suspensions? the molecules of dispersion medium. The major difference is the particle size of the solute. In fact interconversions of these mixtures are possible by varying the particle sizes by certain chemical and physical methods. Figure 10.11 Brownian movement Tyndall effect Tyndall (1869) observed that when a strong beam of light is focused on a colloidal solution the path of the beam becomes visible. This phenomenon is known as Tyndall effect 10.4.2 Colloidal Solutions and the illuminated path is called Tyndall A colloidal solution cone.
