What is Matter? • Any “ stuff ” that has substance
The Classification Schemes • A scheme gives the chemist a chance to sort elements into precise categories • Elements in the like categories tend to behave in like ways
Kinds of Changes in Matter Physical changes Chemical changes
Physical Changes • We can see these • The matter will change its form • Chemical composition does not change Solid liquid ice melting Liquid gas water boiling
Chemical Changes • Matter changes intoanother form • Its atoms are re-arranged • Chemical bonds are broken Rusting Fe FeO
Pure Substances • These substances have compositions that are the same throughout • Elementsare pure substances • Compounds are pure substances
Elements • Elements have only one kind of atom iron (Fe) copper (Cu) oxygen (O2)
Compounds • Compounds will have more than one kind of atom salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) table sugar (sucrose, C12H22O11) water (H2O)
Mixtures • These are formed when two or more pure substances are combined • The key idea here: • Mixtures can be physically separated • Compounds can not be separated – they are in their purest form
What’s the Difference • Mixtures - can be separated – they are made up of individual compounds • Compounds - cannot be separated – they are already in their purest form
Mixture Separation • Can be separated mechanically • Can be separated chemically
