The Classification of Matter
The Classification of Matter
-----------------------
Pure Substances
Definition: A substance that has a fixed composition which cannot be broken down except by chemical means.
• Constant/fixed composition
• Uniform physical properties
• Constant melting and boiling temperatures
E.g.
__________________________________________
Mixtures
Definition: A system made up of a combination of 2 or more substances in which the composition of each can be varied.
• Variable composition/no definition proportions
• Variable melting and boiling temperatures
• Can be separated by physically
E.g.
___________________________________________
Matter
Definition: Everything that has a mass and a volume, occupying space.
• Exits in 3 states (plus some exotic states)
• Can undergo chemical and physical changes
E.g.
_____________________________
Element
Definition: A substance that
contains only one type of atom
which cannot be decomposed
(broken down).
E.g._____________________
Heterogeneous
Not the same throughout
Homogeneous
The same throughout
Compound
Definition: A substance with
consists of more than
one type
of atom.
E.g.
______________________
Mechanical Mixtures
Definition: A heterogeneous
mixture of two or more
substances.
E.g._________________
____________________
Solution
Definition: A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.
• Transparent
(light travels through)
E.g.
______________________
Suspension
Definition: A heterogeneous mixture of two or more substances in which particles are suspended in the mixture.
• Cloudy or opaque
• Larger particles
settle to the bottom
• Can be filtered
E.g.
