Classification of Matter • Classify according to 4 states of matter • Classify by the units they are made of
Elements • Matter is made up of atoms • if all atoms in a sample have same identity, that matter is an element.
Examples Al Cu Ag
Compounds • Made from atoms of 2 or more elements that are combined
Wrap-up • Substance: an element or compound • can’t be reduced to more basic components by physical processes
Mixtures • Material made up of 2 or more substances that can be separated by physical means.
Each substance in a mixture keeps its own properties and identity
Mixtures cont’d • Don’t always contain the same amounts of the different substances that make them up
Heterogeneous mixture • Different materials can be easily distinguished • Not uniformly mixed
Examples • Granite • Concrete • Inside of your locker or backpack
Solutions • Homogeneous mixture • Two or more substances are uniformly spread out
Solution particles never settle to bottom of container • Remain constantly and uniformly mixed
Solutions How They Form
Solutions • Homogeneous mixture in which particles are evenly distributed throughout • Do not settle, do not disperse light
Types of solutions • Solutions are classified as solid, liquid, or gas depending on their final state
Solution terms • Solute: substance being dissolved • Solvent: substance dissolving the solute
Substance present in largest amt is the solvent • Air: 78% N, 21% O, 1% Ar. • Solvent of air? • Sterling silver: 92.5% Ag, 7.5% Cu. Solvent?
Alloy – a soluti0n of a metal and another element (usually another metal) • Ex.: brass (copper and zinc); bronze (copper and tin); cast iron (iron and carbon)
