Classification of Matter
Classification of Matter Matter can be divided into pure and impure particle arrangement- • A pure substance is anything that contains only one type of matter, so it is ‘all the same’ • A mixture is physical blend of two or more substances that are not chemically combined, so it is ‘something and something else’
Classification of Matter • Element • The simplest forms of matter. • Composed of identical atoms • Located on the periodic table • ex: copper wire, aluminum foil So, is an element a pure substance or a mixture?
Classification of Matter • Compound • composed of 2 or more elements in a fixed ratio • properties differ from those of individual elements • EX: table salt (NaCl), water (H2O) So, is this salt a pure substance or a mixture?
Classification of Matter A mixture is a combination of two or more substances in which the substances retain their distinct identities. • Homogenous mixture – composition of the mixture is the same throughout. Can be separated by physical means • Heterogeneous mixture – composition is not uniform throughout. Can be separated by physical means So, is a pure substance and a mixture the same thing?
Classification of Matter Determine if each drawing represents a mixture, a compound, or an element.
Classification of Matter magnet Physical means can be used to separate a heterogeneous mixture into its pure components. • Distillation Used to separate a liquid from a soluble solid or two liquids with very different boiling points. • Filtration Used to separate an insoluble solid from a liquid • Crystallization separation that results in pure solid particles • Chromatography – separates bases on the mobile phases tendency to travel across the surface of a material
Separation of Mixtures a. • Filtration • Distillation • Chromatography • Chromatography
