 If there only about 100 types of elements
in the world, why are there so many
different kinds of matter?
Substance
 Matter that has the same composition and
properties throughout
Compound
 More than one element bonded together.
 Ex. Water & Hydrogen Peroxide
Compound Formula
 Tells you what elements make up a
compound
 Ex. H2O (water) & H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide)
This is Vinegar
CH3COOH
Do Now- 12/8/10
 Look at the two beakers at the front of the
room. What is the difference between
these two mixtures?

 Describe the difference between a mixture

and a compound.
Mixture
 2 or more compounds mixed together.
 NOT bonded
 Examples: Air & Blood
Heterogeneous
 Visible different parts
 Ex. Chocolate chip cookie & pepperoni pizza
Homogenous
 The same throughout. You cannot see a
difference.
 Ex. Vanilla pudding & Oil
Solutions
 Another name for a homogenous mixture.
Solute
 Substance that disappears (dissolves)
 Ex. Kool- Aid Packet
Solvent
 Substance that you still see (does the
dissolving)
 Ex. Water
Universal Solvent
 WATER
Soluble
 Can be dissolved
 Ex. Alka Seltzer &
Water
Insoluble
 Cannot be dissolved
 Ex. Oil & Water
ACIDS
 Substances that
release positive
hydrogen in water
Acid Properties
 Sour
 can cause burns
 conduct electricity
Acid Uses
 Vinegar
 citrus fruits
 sulfuric & nitric acid for fertilizers
 battery acid
 hydrochloric acid for cleaning
BASES/Alkaline
 Substances that can
accept hydrogen
ions in water
Base Properties
 Soapy
 can cause burns
 conduct electricity
Base Uses
 Plastics
 Soap
 ammonia
pH Scale
 Used to measure strength of acids and
bases
Litmus Paper
 Dip it into the substance. It will change
color and match up with a spot on the pH
Scale
