Discover the differences between elements, compounds, and mixtures in chemistry. Learn about their properties and types such as solutions, suspensions, and colloids.
E N D
Elements • An element is a pure substance (only 1 type of particle) that cannot be separated into simpler substances by physical or chemical means. • http://www.privatehand.com/flash/elements.html
Compounds • A compound is a pure substance composed of 2 or more elements that are chemically combined.
Examples of Compounds • Compounds contain elements • The elements combine + lose their original properties • Compounds CAN be separated by chemical means • The elements combine in specific ratios Sodium (Na) + Chlorine (Cl) NaCl Hydrogen (H) + Oxygen (O) H2O Carbon (C) + Oxygen (O) CO2
Mixtures • A mixture is a combination of 2 or more substances that are not chemically combined.
Examples of Mixtures chicken noodle soup salad pizza – yes, that would be Yoda… Properties of Mixtures: • Each substance in a mixture keeps its identity • You can physically separate them • They also contain elements, compounds, or both • And they can be formed using any ratio of • components
Mixtures may be homogeneous orheterogeneous • The prefix “homo” indicates the same • Homogeneous mixtures have the same appearance and properties throughout the mixture • The prefix “hetero” indicates difference • Heterogeneous mixtures consist of visibly different substances
Types of Mixtures • There are THREE types of mixtures: • Solutions • Suspensions • Colloids
Solutions • A solution is a mixture that appears to be a single substance, but it is actually composed of 2 or more substances that are distributed evenly amongst each other. • SOLUTIONS ARE HOMOGENEOUS sugar & Kool-Aid powder are dissolved in water salt is dissolved in water carbon dioxide is dissolved in water
Suspensions • A suspension is a mixture in which particles of a material are dispersed throughout a liquid or gas, but are large enough that they settle out. • SUSPENSIONS ARE HETEROGENEOUS That water is disgusting! muddy water Italian dressing
Colloids • A colloid is a mixture in which the particles are dispersed throughout but are not heavy enough to settle out. • COLLOIDS ARE HOMOGENEOUS Colloids have properties of both solutions & suspensions. mayonnaise milk
