1. Elements, Compounds & Mixtures

2. Elements An element is a pure substance (only 1 type of particle) that cannot be separated into simpler substances by physical or chemical means. http://www.privatehand.com/flash/elements.html

3. Element

4. Compounds A compound is a pure substance composed of 2 or more elements that are chemically combined.

5. Examples of Compounds Sodium (Na) + Chlorine (Cl) NaCl Hydrogen (H) + Oxygen (O) H 2 O Carbon (C) + Oxygen (O) CO 2 Compounds contain elements The elements combine + lose their original properties Compounds CAN be separated by chemical means The elements combine in specific ratios Compounds contain elements The elements combine + lose their original properties Compounds CAN be separated by chemical means The elements combine in specific ratios

6. Mixtures A mixture is a combination of 2 or more substances that are not chemically combined.

7. Examples of Mixtures chicken noodle soup pizza – yes, that would be Yoda… salad Properties of Mixtures: Each substance in a mixture keeps its identity You can physically separate them They also contain elements, compounds, or both And they can be formed using any ratio of components

8. Mixtures may be homogeneous or heterogeneous The prefix “homo” indicates the same Homogeneous mixtures have the same appearance and properties throughout the mixture The prefix “hetero” indicates difference Heterogeneous mixtures consist of visibly different substances

9. Types of Mixtures There are THREE types of mixtures: – Solutions – Suspensions – Colloids

10. Solutions A solution is a mixture that appears to be a single substance, but it is actually composed of 2 or more substances that are distributed evenly amongst each other. – SOLUTIONS ARE HOMOGENEOUS carbon dioxide is dissolved in water sugar & Kool-Aid powder are dissolved in water salt is dissolved in water

11. Suspensions A suspension is a mixture in which particles of a material are dispersed throughout a liquid or gas, but are large enough that they settle out. – SUSPENSIONS ARE HETEROGENEOUS That water is disgusting! Italian dressingmuddy water

12. Colloids A colloid is a mixture in which the particles are dispersed throughout but are not heavy enough to settle out. – COLLOIDS ARE HOMOGENEOUS milkmayonnaise Colloids have properties of both solutions & suspensions.
