1 Classification of Matter Bromfield Chemistry CP

2 Chemistry The study of the composition of substances and the changes they undergo

3 Chemistry The study of the composition of substances and the changes they undergo Many different “branches” of chemistry

4 Chemistry The study of the composition of substances and the changes they undergo Many different “branches” of chemistry All matter has a chemical basis Matter = anything that has mass and volume

5 Substance A particular kind of matter with a uniform and constant composition Can be represented by a single chemical formula

6 Substance A particular kind of matter with a uniform and constant composition “pure” substance

7 Atoms Smallest building block of matter About 110 different kinds of atoms AFM image of Tungsten atoms 77 pm resolution

8 Molecules Clusters of atoms behaving as a unit because they are chemically joined

9 Two classes of pure substances Element pure substance containing only 1 type of atom

10 Two classes of pure substances Element pure substance containing only 1 type of atom Can’t be broken down into simpler substances About 115 different elements  ~90 elements occur naturally

11 Two classes of pure substances Compound pure substance containing only 1 type of molecule The molecules must contain 2 or more different kinds of atoms Can be broken down into simpler substances

12 Mixture A sample of matter containing 2 or more different pure substances, physically blended together

13 Mixture The components may be separated

14 2 categories of mixtures Homogeneous

15 2 categories of mixtures Homogeneous Components are uniformly distributed

16 2 categories of mixtures Homogeneous Components are uniformly distributed Also referred to as “solution”

17 2 categories of mixtures Homogeneous Components are uniformly distributed Also called “solution” May be in solid, liquid, or gas phase

18 2 categories of mixtures Homogeneous Components are uniformly distributed solution May be in solid, liquid, or gas phase Alloy—homogeneous mixture of metals

19 2 categories of mixtures Heterogeneous

20 2 categories of mixtures Heterogeneous Components are non-uniformly distributed

21 2 categories of mixtures Heterogeneous Components are non-uniformly distributed Ratios of components may vary throughout May observe distinct phases or an interface

22 What types of matter are shown?
