Presentation on theme: "Classification of matter"— Presentation transcript:

1 Classification of matter

2 What does it mean to classify?
…to sort or organize into groups based on similar characteristics or properties…

3 Examples of how we classify every day things
Stars Books (Dewey Decimal System) Swahili nouns Musical instruments Living things

4 What is MATTER? Anything that… has MASS takes up SPACE

5 Properties of Matter Examples of physical properties:
color shape texture hardness density solubility ductility malleability Examples of chemical properties: combustibility flammability reactivity to acid tendency to rust

6 QUESTIONS?

7 MATTER LIQUID SOLID PLASMA GAS How is matter classified here?

8 MATTER HOMOGENEOUS HETEROGENEOUS Another way to classify matter

9 Homogeneous Matter homo = same geneous = kind, type
identical properties throughout

10 Name 3 kinds of matter that have the same properties throughout.
Homogeneous Matter Name 3 kinds of matter that have the same properties throughout.

11 Heterogeneous Matter hetero = different geneous = kind, type
parts have different properties

12 Name 3 kinds of matter that have different properties throughout.
Heterogeneous Matter Name 3 kinds of matter that have different properties throughout.

13 QUESTIONS?

14 MATTER MIXTURES PURE SUBSTANCES COMPOUNDS ELEMENTS
yet another way to classify matter

15 PURE SUBSTANCE made up of only one material definite properties
uniform properties throughout Subcategories: elements compounds

16 MATTER MIXTURES PURE SUBSTANCES COMPOUNDS ELEMENTS

17 ELEMENTS simplest pure substance
cannot be changed into anything simpler ATOM = smallest particle of an element represented by chemical symbol (shorthand) 

18 Who said this? All elements are made up of atoms. Atoms of the same element are alike; atoms of different elements are different.

19 MATTER MIXTURES PURE SUBSTANCES COMPOUNDS ELEMENTS

20 COMPOUNDS two or more elements chemically combined
pure substances made up of more than one element combined in a definite ratio (has a formula)

21 COMPOUNDS can be broken down into simpler substances (elements) ONLY by chemical means properties of compound are very different from properties of parts

22 Name 3 examples of compounds.

23 click above to see Na + Cl2 react
EXAMPLE NaCl (salt) Sodium (Na) silvery metal reacts explosively w/ water Chlorine (Cl2) poisonous greenish gas click above to see Na + Cl2 react

24 QUESTIONS?

25 MATTER MIXTURES PURE SUBSTANCES COMPOUNDS ELEMENTS

26 MIXTURES 2 or more substances physically mixed, but not chemically combined can be separated by physical means any combination of the phases any ratio of parts parts have separate identity

27 Name 3 examples of mixtures.

28 Types of Mixtures Solution one substance is dissolved in another
homogeneous dissolving substance = SOLVENT dissolved material = SOLUTE

29 Types of Mixtures Alloys Examples: mixture of 2 metals
usually homogeneous Examples: steel = iron + carbon brass = zinc + copper bronze = copper + tin

30 Types of Mixtures Suspension Colloid
a mixture which will separate when undisturbed (particles will settle out) heterogeneous e.g. dust particles in air; sand in water Colloid a mixture between a solution and a suspension (particles don’t settle out) e.g. fog and milk

31 Types of Mixtures Other types: Can you think of others?
Emulsion (e.g. mayo) Gel (e.g. jelly) Can you think of others?

32 MATTER MIXTURES PURE SUBSTANCES COMPOUNDS ELEMENTS

33 QUESTIONS?
