1 Classification of Matter
A quick review

2 Matter Anything that has mass and occupies space

3 Matter can be classified 2 ways
Pure Substances Mixtures

4 Pure Substances Contains one type of substance
Has a fixed uniform composition Has the same properties Two types of pure substances Elements Compounds

5 Elements Contain only one type of atom
Can not be readily broken down into simpler substances Atoms have known properties

6 Compounds Two or more elements chemically combined
Can not be separated by a physical process The elements are joined together in a fixed ratio Have know properties

7 A slight difference A molecule is a substance that has two or more atoms bonded together. The can be atoms of the same element Elemental oxygen exists as a molecule, O2 Compounds are two ore more different elements combined in a fixed ratio.

8 Mixtures Mixtures do not have fixed composition
Mixtures do not have set physical properties Mixtures can be separated by a physical process into component parts Filtering Distilling Manually

9 Heterogeneous Mixtures
In a Heterogeneous mixture the parts are different from each other One area is different than another

10 Homogeneous Mixtures Contain more than one type of substance
The substances are evenly distributed - the same throughout

11 Specific types of Mixtures
Solutions Solutes dissolved in a solvent Homogeneous with small particles Colloids Heterogeneous with intermediate particle size Exhibits the Tyndall effect Suspensions Heterogeneous with large particles
