E,C,M Notes 10
Elements The simplest form of matter • Simple substance • One kind of atoms • Represented by -One or two letter symbol • Building blocks for all other substances ( what things ?)
Compounds Made up of two or more elements chemically combined • Represented by chemical formulas • Sodium + chlorine sodium chloride NaCl H2O H2 + O2 • Always present in the same ratio in a compound
MIXTURES Two or more substances physically combined do not combine in same ratios • can be separated by physical means • constituent substances retain their original properties • (salt & water - salt water)
MIXTURES Homogeneous • uniform composition • called “solutions” • Salt water, alloys, etc. • consist of a single phase • Alloy – mixture of two or more metals Heterogeneous • Not uniform • Sand and salt, oil and vinegar, etc. • consists of two or more phases Any part of a system with uniform composition and properties is called a phase.
There are many ways to separate mixtures, one method is DISTILLATION, where a liquid is boiled to produce vapor that is condensed again into a liquid.
PURE SUBSTANCES • PURE SUBSTANCES ARE Elements or Compounds
Classification of Matter MATTER yes no Can it be physically Separated ? Pure substance mixture yes no Is it uniform? Can it be chemically separated yes no Homogeneous solution Heterogeneous compound element
