  1. Classification of Matter WORD: Matter DEF: anything that has mass and takes up space.

  2. B. Pure Substances • Matter that is pure and always homogeneous Two different compounds, each has a definite composition.

  3. B. Pure Substances • Element • composed of identical atoms • EX: copper wire, aluminum foil

  4. ATOMS • Atoms- Extremely small building blocks of matter • All matter is composed of atoms • Atoms cannot be broken down into smaller pieces by chemical means • The smallest distinct units in a sample of matter • Elements are made up the same atoms. • Elements cannot be decomposed into other substances.

  5. B. Pure Substances • Compound • composed of 2 or more elements in a fixed ratio • properties differ from those of individual elements • EX: table salt (NaCl)

  6. MOLECULES • Molecule – a combination of 2 0r more atoms (same or different) that are chemically bonded. • A molecule is the smallest particle of a substance which exhibits the physical and chemical characteristics of the substance.

  7. Mixture • Mixtures are two or more substance that are not chemically combined. • Mixtures do not have a fixed composition • Variable composition • Components retain their characteristic properties

  8. C. Mixtures • Physical combination of 2 or more pure substances. Heterogeneous Homogeneous

  9. C. Mixtures (solution) • Solution • homogeneous • very small particles • one substance dissolved in another • particles don’t settle • EX: rubbing alcohol

  10. C. Mixtures (suspension) • Suspension • heterogeneous • large particles • particles settle • EX: fresh-squeezed lemonade

  11. C. Mixtures (colloid) • Colloid • heterogeneous • medium-sized particles • particles don’t settle; but aren’t dissolved • EX: jello

  12. MIXTURE PURE SUBSTANCE yes no yes no Is it single and not combined Is it dissolved and homogeneous? Suspension Colloid A. Matter Flowchart MATTER yes no Pure and homogeneous? Compound Homogeneous Mixture (solution) Element Do the particles settle out? yes no
