LESSON 1
CLASSIFICATION OF MATTER
INTRODUCTION
Chemistry is the study of matter and the changes that material substances undergo. Of all the scientific
disciplines, it is perhaps the most extensively connected to other fields of study. Matter can be classified according to
physical and chemical properties. Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass.
The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. A physical change involves the conversion of a substance
from one state of matter to another, without changing its chemical composition. Most matter consists of mixtures of
pure substances, which can be homogeneous (uniform in composition) or heterogeneous (different regions possess
different compositions & properties.
It is essential for understanding much of the natural world and central to many other scientific disciplines,
including astronomy, geology, palaeontology, biology, and medicine.
DEFINITION OF TERMS
Molecule – a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical
compound that can take part in a chemical reaction.
Substance – It is a form of matter having constant chemical composition and characteristic properties.
Process – a process is a series of interrelated tasks that, together, transform inputs into a given output.
Temperature – the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object, especially as expressed
according to a comparative scale and shown by a thermometer or perceived by touch.
Particles – it is a small localized object to which can be ascribed several physical or chemical properties such as
volume, density or mass.
Solution – It is a special type of homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances.

LEARNING OUTCOMES
In general, at the end of the module, you are expected to exhibit the following competencies:
Distinguish between pure substances and mixtures

Identify mixtures as homogeneous or heterogeneous
Give the different characteristics and Properties of Mixtures.
PRE-TEST
1. What are the most common elements in the Earth’s crust?
— In the earth's crust, oxygen (47%) is the most abundant element, follow by silicon (28%)
aluminum (8%).
2. What are the difference between pure substance and mixture?
— Pure substance are substance that are made up of only one kind of particles and have a fixed
or constant structure and has unique physical properties while mixture are two or more substances
mix with each other without participating in a chemical change or a random blend of two or more
substances, has no unique physical properties that can be physically sperated.
3. What comes in your mind when you hear the word homogeneous mixture?
—Homogenous mixture has visibility indistinguishable parts or you could see is

one clear solution. It has uniform composition, the composition is the same
everywhere in the mixture it is one that contains only one type of compound
or element.

UNDERSTANDING
WHAT IS MATTER?
Matter is anything that can take up space.
It is anything that has mass and volume (takes up space). For most common objects that we deal with every day, it
is fairly simple to demonstrate that they have mass and take up space. You might be able to imagine, however,
the difficulty for people several hundred years ago to demonstrate that air had mass and volume. Air (and all
other gases) are invisible to the eye, have very small masses compared to equal amounts of solids and liquids,
and are quite easy to compress (change volume).
Even though the universe consists of "things" as wildly different as ants and galaxies, the matter that makes up all of
these "things" is composed of a very limited number of building blocks. These building blocks are known as atoms,
and so far, scientists have discovered or created a grand total of 118 different types of atoms.
Scientists have given a name to each different type of atom.
A substance that is composed of only one type of atom is called an element. At this point, what should amaze you is
that all forms of matter in our universe are made with only 118 different building blocks. In some ways, it's sort of
like cooking a gourmet, five-course meal using only three ingredients! How is it possible? To answer that question,
you have to understand the ways in which different elements are put together to form matter.
The most important method that nature uses to organize atoms into matter is the formation of molecules.
Molecules are groups of two or more atoms that have been bonded together. There are millions of different ways
to bond atoms together, which means that there are millions of different possible molecules. Each of these
molecules has its own set of chemical properties, and it's these properties with which chemists are most
concerned.
All matter has mass and occupies space. All physical objects are made of matter. Matter itself is composed of tiny
building blocks known as "atoms". There are only 118 different types of atoms known to man. Frequently, atoms
are bonded together to form "molecules".
All matter of any type shares the fundamental property of inertia, which—as formulated within Isaac Newton’s three
laws of motion—prevents a material body from responding instantaneously to attempts to change its state of rest
or motion.
The mass of a body is a measure of this resistance to change; it is enormously harder to set in motion a massive ocean liner
than it is to push a bicycle.
Matter can change from one state to another, which we call a "physical change." Physical changes usually occur when
heat (energy) is either added or taken away. A good example of a physical change is when an ice cube melts. It starts
as a solid but when you add heat, it turns into a liquid.

PURE SUBSTANCE
Pure substances are substances that are made up of only one kind of particles and have a fixed or constant
structure.
An element is a substance that consists of only one type or kind of atom. An element is a pure substance as it
cannot be broken down or transformed into a new substance even by using some physical or chemical
means. Elements are mostly metals, non-metals or metalloids.

Characteristics and Properties of Pure Substances
Pure substances are mostly homogeneous in nature containing only one type of atoms or molecules.
These substances mainly have a constant or uniform composition throughout.
The substances have fixed boiling and melting points.
A pure substance usually participates in a chemical reaction to form predictable products.
Examples of Pure Substances
All elements are mostly pure substances. A few of them include gold, copper, oxygen, chlorine, diamond, etc. Compounds such as
water, salt or crystals, baking soda amongst others are also grouped as pure substances.

ELEMENTS
It is a pure substance composed of two or more elements chemically bonded in a definite, fixed ratio by mass.
Elements are chemically the simplest substances and hence cannot be broken down using chemical reactions.
Elements can only be changed into other elements using nuclear methods.
Although an element’s atoms must all have the same number of protons, they can have different numbers of
neutrons and hence different masses. When atoms of the same element have different numbers of
neutrons, they are called isotopes.
An element is a substance whose atoms all have the same number of protons: another way of saying this is that all of a
particular element's atoms have the same atomic number.
How Elements Came to be Defined Correctly
In 1913, chemistry and physics were topsy-turvy. Some big hitters - including Dmitri Mendeleev - were talking
seriously about elements lighter than hydrogen and elements between hydrogen and helium. Visualizing the
atom was a free-for-all, and Mendeleev's justification for a periodic table based on the elements' atomic
weights was falling apart at the seams.
The Most Abundant Elements
With only one proton, hydrogen is the simplest, lightest element, followed by helium, which has two protons. Oxygen atoms have
eight protons.
At 75 percent, hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, followed by helium at 23 percent, then oxygen
at 1 percent. All of the other elements make up the remaining 1 percent. In the earth’s crust, oxygen (47%) is the
most abundant element, followed by silicon (28%) and aluminium (8%).
Origin of the Elements
The fundamental reaction that produces the huge amounts of energy radiated by the Sun and most
other stars is the fusion of the lightest element, hydrogen, its nucleus having a single proton, into helium, the
second lightest and second most abundant, with a nucleus consisting of two protons and two neutrons. In
many stars the production of helium is followed by the fusion of helium into heavier elements, up to iron.
The proportion of different elements within a star—i.e., its chemical composition—is gradually changed by
nuclear fusion reactions. This change is initially concentrated in the central regions of the star where it
cannot be directly observed, but it alters some observable properties of the star, such as brightness and
surface temperature, and these alterations are taken as evidence of what is going on in the interior.
The main problem concerned with the origin of the chemical elements is to decide to what extent the chemical
composition of the stars seen today differs from the initial chemical composition of the universe and to
determine where the change in chemical composition has been produced.

COMPOUND
Compounds can be defined as substances consisting of 2 or more different types of elements in a fixed ratio of its
atoms. When the elements combine, some individual property of the elements is lost and the newly formed
compound has new properties.
Chemical Formula: Compounds are represented by their chemical formula. A chemical formula is a symbolic
representation of the proportions of atoms that constitute a particular chemical compound.
The chemical formula of water is H2O which shows two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen have combined to
form one molecule of H2O. The chemical formula for common salt is NaCl which shows one atom of sodium and
one atom of chlorine combine to form one molecule of NaCl.
Types of Compounds
Compounds can be classified into two types, molecular compounds and salts. In molecular compounds, the atom binds
each other through covalent bonds. In salts, it is held together with ionic bonds. These are the two types of bonds
out of which every compound is made of.
Example of Compounds
Example of compounds includes water (H2O), Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2), etc. You could see water’s chemical
formula, it says it has 2 atoms of Hydrogen combined with 1 atom of oxygen and in hydrogen peroxide; it has
2 atoms of hydrogen and two atoms of oxygen.
Similarly, an example of salt would be the table salt (NaCl) which has 1 atom of sodium and one atom of
chlorine.
Examples of some commonly used compounds and their molecular formula:
Compound Name Compound Formula
Alcohol C2H6O
Acetic Acid C2H4O2
Sulphuric Acid H2SO4
Ammonia NH3

Methane CH4
Nitrous oxide N2O
Salt NaCl
Consists of atoms of two or more different elements bound together.

Can be broken down into a simpler type of matter (elements) by chemical means (but not by physical means).
Has properties that are different from its component elements, and always contains the same ratio of its component atoms.
A compound in chemistry refers to a substance which comprises of identical molecules consisting of atoms belonging to two or more
chemical elements.
A chemical formula gives an indication of the number of atoms of each element existing in a compound molecule.
Furthermore, this chemical formula makes use of the standard abbreviations for the chemical elements along with
the numerical subscripts.
MIXTURE
When two or more substances mix with each other without participating in a chemical change, the resulting substance is called a
Mixture.
The result formed due to the combination of substances does not lose its individuality nor are they combined chemically.
Mixtures are the one product of a mechanical blending or mixing of chemical substances such as elements and
compounds.
A substance, on the other hand, is impure if it consists of different kinds of elements combined together physically
and not chemically. Impure substances are also called mixtures. Mixtures are further divided into a
homogenous or heterogeneous mixture.
A homogeneous mixture occasionally called a solution is comparatively unvarying in configuration or

constant. Every unit of the mixture is like every other unit. For instance, if you liquefy sugar in water
and blend it really well, your concoction is essentially the same, no matter where you sample it. This
mixture contains two or more chemical substances.
A heterogeneous mixture is a concoction whose configuration varies from spot to spot within the sample.
For example, if you put a little amount of sugar in a vessel, add some sand, and then shake the jar a
couple of times, your concoction doesn’t have the same configuration all throughout the jar. As the
sand is heftier, there’s possibly more amount of sand at the bottom of the jar and more sugar at the top
part. These mixtures can be identified visually and separated easily by physical means.
A preparation consisting of a liquid holding an insoluble medicinal substance in suspension by means of some viscid material.
Note that even though the chemical properties of the components haven't changed, a mixture may exhibit new physical properties,
like boiling point and melting point.

General Properties of Mixtures

Mixtures are made up of two or more substances that are not chemically combined with each other. The properties of
mixtures are listed below.
The components of a mixture each keep their original properties.

The separation of components can be easily done.
The proportion of the components is variable.
Characteristics and Properties of Mixtures or Impure Substance

It does not have any specific properties; the properties of the mixture are a result of the average properties of all
the constituents.
It is formed as a result of a physical change.
They have a variable composition.
Their melting and boiling points differ.
Example of Mixtures
Some common examples of mixtures include;
Gas and gas like nitrogen and oxygen in the atmosphere.

A solution like water and oil.
Gas and liquid such as water.
Solid and liquid such as sand and water
Differences between Pure Substances and Mixtures

The differences between pure substances and mixture are given below.
Pure Substances Mixtures
It cannot be broken down or separated into It can be separated using different

new products. separation methods.
Constant physical and chemical properties. Mixtures have varying physical and
chemical properties.
Pure substances are made up of a single element. A mixture is a combination of two substances
or elements.
Examples of Mixtures
Crude oil: A mixture of organic compounds (mainly hydrocarbons)

Seawater: A mixture of various salt and water.
Air: a mixture of various gases like oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, argon, neon, etc.
Ink: A mixture of coloured dyes.
Gunpowder: A mixture of sulfur, potassium nitrate and carbon.

Characteristics of Mixtures
The constituents of a mixture are not present in a fixed ratio. The various characteristics of mixtures are discussed below.
There is no chemical force acting between the two or more substances that are mixed, but they still exist
together.
They can either be heterogeneous or homogeneous in nature.
The proportions of the substances vary in an indefinite manner.
The properties of the mixture depending upon the individual components.
The constituents of the mixture can be separated by physical methods.
Boiling point and the melting point of the mixture depends upon the characteristic of the constituents.
During the formation of a mixture, there is no change in energy.
All the states of matter (solid, liquid, gases) can combine to form mixtures.
It can be concluded that almost everything in our vicinity is nothing but a mixture. For example, the food we eat is a
mixture of ingredients, the atmospheric air we breathe is a combination of gases and the fuel we use in locomotives
is a heterogeneous mixture.
HOMOGENEOUS MIXTURE
A mixture in which the composition is uniform throughout the mixture. The salt water described above is
homogeneous because the dissolved salt is evenly distributed throughout the entire salt water sample. Often
it is easy to confuse a homogeneous mixture with a pure substance because they are both uniform. The
difference is that the composition of the substance is always the same. The amount of salt in the salt water can
vary from one sample to another. All solutions would be considered homogeneous because the dissolved
material is present in the same amount throughout the solution.
One characteristic of mixtures is that they can be separated into their components. Since each part of the mixture has not reacted
with another part of the mixture, the identities of the different materials is unchanged.
One of the most interesting facts about heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures is that, in a sense, there's no
real distinction. Look closely enough at any substance, even a pure element, and it becomes heterogeneous
because it's made up of different subatomic particles. Conversely, at a large enough scale everything in the
universe is homogeneous, because it becomes impossible to differentiate components.
The properties of homogeneous mixtures are best defined on a scale somewhere between the two. Scientists
(and we) most often use the simple standard of the naked eye. If a substance can be seen to contain two or
more distinct components, it is considered heterogeneous. If it appears to be just one uniform substance, it's
homogeneous.
Properties of Homogeneous Mixtures
Homogeneous mixture displays certain properties:
A homogenous mixture consists of a single phase. It consists only of a solid, liquid, or gas.
While the components of the mixture retain their chemical identity, they aren’t visibly separate. But, at the
molecular level, the mixture contains multiple compounds or elements.
Samples taken from different parts of the mixture have identical composition and characteristics.
It’s usually not possible to separate components of a homogeneous mixture using a mechanical method
like filtration.

Difference between Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Mixture
Homogeneous mixture Heterogeneous mixture
It has a uniform composition It has a non-uniform composition
It has only one phase There are two or more phases
It can’t be separated out physically It can be separated out physically
‘homo’ means the same ‘hetero’ means different
Example: a mixture of alcohol and water Example: a mixture of sodium chloride and sand
Solid Homogeneous Mixtures
There is a wide variety of solid homogeneous mixtures, from naturally occurring materials like stone to
synthetic plastics.
Bitumen, the solid form of petroleum and source of gasoline, diesel and other fossil fuels, is a homogeneous
mixture of complex hydrocarbon chemicals.
Cement is a solid homogeneous mixture of calcium compounds. Mixed with sand, gravel and water, it
becomes concrete, one of the most important building materials in the world.
Many alloys are homogeneous mixtures of metals, or of a metal and a non-metallic substance. Bronze, which is
made from copper and tin, is an example of the first kind of alloy. Steel, made from iron and carbon, is an
example of the second.
Plastics are some of the world's most important homogeneous mixtures. The discovery that certain mixtures of
synthetic organic compounds could be made into solid objects changed the entire manufacturing industry.
Wood is a homogeneous mixture. The components that make up living wood are solid, liquid and gaseous, but all
are metabolized by the tree into solid wood.

Liquid Homogeneous Mixtures
Many of the liquids you encounter every day - indeed, most of the liquids that power your body - are examples
of homogeneous mixtures.
In the human body, blood plasma is an example of a homogeneous mixture. The colorless fluid holds blood cells in
suspension. It makes up a little more than half of the volume of human blood.
Milk is a homogeneous colloid. Colloids are mixtures that consist of tiny, insoluble droplets floating in a solvent.
Some sources say that colloids are by definition heterogeneous, but by the naked eye test, milk is a
homogeneous liquid suspension of fats in water.
Most wines and liquors are homogeneous mixtures. The science of making wine and liquor is based on
employing ethanol and/or water as a solvent on various substances - charred oak for bourbon whiskey,
for example, or juniper in gin - to create unique flavors.
Water itself is an example of a homogeneous mixture. All but the purest water contains dissolved minerals and
gases. These are dissolved throughout the water, so the mixture presents in the same phase and is
homogeneous.
Liquid laundry detergent is another example of a homogeneous mixture of various soaps and chemicals for
washing clothes.
Gaseous Homogeneous Mixtures
Many of the most common gaseous substances people encounter, including the most common one, air itself,
are homogeneous mixtures.
The air that you breathe is a homogeneous mixture of oxygen, nitrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide, along with
other elements in smaller amounts. Because each layer of the Earth's atmosphere has a different density,
each layer of air is its own homogeneous mixture.
Natural gas is a gaseous heterogeneous mixture of methane and other hydrocarbons used as a fuel.
So-called "neon signs" actually use a number of different elemental gases and homogeneous gaseous mixtures to
create their trademark glow. Argon and mercury vapor, for example, create a vibrant blue.
Nitrous oxide is one of many gaseous homogeneous mixtures used for anaesthesia. As anaesthesia, nitrous oxide is used
in a 50/50 solution with oxygen. In fact, doctors colloquially refer to nitrous oxide as "gas and air!"
Several homogeneous mixtures of gases, such as heliox and trimix, are used in SCUBA diving.
10 Homogeneous Mixture Examples
Here are ten examples of homogeneous mixtures:
Sea water o
Wine
o Vinegar
o Steel o
Brass o
Air
o Natural gas
o Blood
o Coffee
o Nitrox, heliox, or trimix (breathing mixtures for diving)
Any chemical solution or alloy is a homogeneous mixture. Examples of solutions include sugar water and
powdered drink mix in water, while alloys include sterling silver and bronze. Emulsions are homogeneous
mixtures, although they often become heterogeneous when examined microscopically. Examples of
emulsions are homogenized milk, mayonnaise, and egg yolk.
HETEROGENEOUS MIXTURE
A heterogeneous mixture is defined as a mixture that has a non-uniform composition. In other words, its
composition varies from one location to another. In contrast, a homogeneous mixture has a uniform
composition. Its appearance and composition are the same, no matter where you take a sample.
Properties of Heterogeneous Mixtures

Heterogeneous mixtures display characteristic properties:
A heterogeneous mixture contains two or more ingredients or phases. The phases might be at least two solids,
liquids, or gases, or a solid/liquid (suspension), liquid/liquid (emulsion), gas/liquid (aerosol), or gas/solid (smoke).
The different phases mix together, but are physically separate. In other words, they retain their own chemical
identity.
Samples taken from different parts of the mixture may have a different composition.
It’s usually possible to separate components of a heterogeneous mixture.
10 Heterogeneous Mixture Examples

Here are 10 examples of heterogeneous mixtures:
Cereal in milk is a great example of a heterogeneous mixture. It consists of a solid cereal in liquid milk.
Oil and water form a heterogeneous mixture.
Orange juice with pulp is a heterogeneous mixture. The components are unevenly distributed, plus they exist in two
phases. Juice is a liquid and pulp is a solid.
Sandy water is a heterogeneous mixture. It consists of two phases that readily separate.
A pepperoni pizza is a heterogeneous mixture. You might get a pepperoni in one bite, yet not in another.
Concrete is a heterogeneous mixture of cement, gravel, sand, and water.
A chocolate chip cookie is a heterogeneous mixture. You may get different numbers of chocolate chips with each
bite.
A tossed salad is a heterogeneous mixture.
A sandwich is a heterogeneous mixture.

Ice cubes in a soda are a heterogeneous mixture. The ice and the soda are two distinct phases of matter (solid and
liquid). Interestingly, soda before you open it appears to be homogeneous. Once you release the pressure, it’s
heterogeneous because the gas bubbles and liquid are two phases. Let it go flat and it’s once again homogeneous.
How to Tell Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Mixtures Apart
Two ways to distinguish between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures are by visual inspection and
chemical analysis. If you can see individual components in a mixture, it’s heterogeneous. If you analyze
two samples from a mixture and they aren’t the same, it’s heterogeneous. Similarly, if a mixture has a
uniform appearance and the composition of different samples is the same, it’s homogeneous.
“Heterogeneous” and “homogeneous” are a matter of scale. Even a homogeneous mixture becomes
heterogeneous if the sample size is small enough. For example, blood is a homogeneous mixture, but it
appears heterogeneous under magnification.

PRACTICE 1
Is a compound uniquely different from the elements from which it is made? Explain.
—Yes, The properties of compounds are different from the properties of the
elements that form them—sometimes very different. That’s because elements in a
compound combine and become an entirely different substance with its own unique
properties.
PRACTICE 2
