What’s the MATTER, part II. Types of Matter. Pure Substance- Matter with a fixed composition It has distinct properties Examples = elements compounds. Mixtures- Most matter is a mixture The composition is not fixed (changes from sample to sample) Two Types – Homogeneous

Types of Matter • Pure Substance- • Matter with a fixed composition • It has distinct properties • Examples = elements compounds
Mixtures- • Most matter is a mixture • The composition is not fixed (changes from sample to sample) • Two Types – Homogeneous Heterogeneous
Homogeneous Mixtures • Composition is uniform throughout • Solution- • Particle size = 0.01 – 1 nm • Doesn’t settle out upon standing • Can’t be separated by filtering • Doesn’t scatter light • Example = distilled water
Colloid- • Particle size = 1 – 1000 nm • Doesn’t settle out upon standing • Can’t be separated by filtering • Scatters light (Tyndall Effect) • Examples = milk, gelatin, smoke
Heterogeneous Mixtures • The sample varies in composition, properties and appearance • No uniformity • Particle size is greater than 1000 nm • Particles settle out upon standing • Can be separated by filtration • Might scatter light • Examples = soil, trail mix, pond water
Physical vs. Chemical Properties • Every substance has a unique set of properties (characteristics that identify that substance) • Physical Properties- • Properties that can be measured without changing the identity and composition of the substance
Physical Property Examples- • Color • Odor • Density • Melting Point • Boiling Point • Hardness • Solubility
Physical Change • A change in matter from one form to another without changing its chemical properties (most can be reversed) • Examples = • Change in state • Dissolving • Compressing
Chemical Properties • Properties that describe the way a substance may change to form other substances • Only observed when a chemical reaction takes place
Chemical Property Examples • Heating to combustion • Reactivity with water or acid • Flammability • Corrosion • Decomposition
Law of Conservation of Mass • In a physical change or a chemical reaction, mass is neither created or destroyed (Antoine Lavoisier)
