  1. Describing Matter

  2. Properties of matter • Chemistry The study of the properties of matter and how matter changes

  3. Properties of Matter • Substance A single kind of matter that is pure having a specific makeup or composition and a specific set of properties

  4. Properties of Matter Every form of matter has two kinds of properties, physical properties and chemical properties

  5. Properties of Matter • Physical Property Characteristic of a pure substance that can be observed without changing it into another substance Examples Water, Ice, and steam Hardness Texture Color

  6. Properties of Matter • Chemical Property A characteristic of a pure substance that describes its ability to change into different substances Examples Flammability Rust Baking

  7. Elements • Element A pure substance that can not be broken down into any other substance by chemical or physical means.

  8. Elements Elements ARE the simplest substances.

  9. Elements • Atom A basic particle from which all elements are made • Atoms are different for each element

  10. Elements • Chemical Bond When atoms combine, this is the force of attraction between two or more atoms. Atoms combine to form larger particles called molecules

  11. Compounds • Compound A pure substance made of two or more elements chemically combined IN A SET RATIO Water H2O Hydrogen = 2 Oxygen = +1 Total = 3

  12. Chemical Formula Shows the elements in the compound and the ratio of the atoms Carbon dioxide CO2 Ratio 1 Carbon to 2 Oxygen If there is no number a 1 is understood Sugar C6H12O6 Carbon 6 Oxygen 6 Hydrogen 12 Compounds

  13. Compounds • When elements are chemically combined they form compounds having properties that are different from those of the uncombined elements

  14. Mixtures • Mixture Made of 2 or more substances– elements, compounds or both– that are together in the same place but are not chemically combined

  15. Mixtures Each substance in a mixture keeps its individual properties. Also , the parts of a mixture are not combined in a set ratio

  16. Mixture • Heterogeneous Mixture You can see the different parts Examples-- sand soup salad

  17. Mixture • Homogeneous Mixture Are so evenly mixed that you can not see the different parts Examples Salt water sugar water A SOLUTION

  18. Separating…Compounds vs Mixtures • Compounds are difficult to take apart • A Mixture is easy to separate Ways of separating mixtures • Magnetic attraction • Filtering • Distillation • Evaporation
