Classification of Matter

Brief discussion:
Matter can be classified into two groups; the pure substances and the mixtures.
Pure substance – or simply substance, is a type of matter that has a fixed composition and a
definite set of properties. It is always homogenous which means, it has only one phase.
Example: pure water
Mixture – a type of matter with no definite properties. It is made up of two or more kinds of pure
substances, each of which retains its own characteristic properties.
Example: Halo halo

Two Classifications of Pure substance

Elements – a pure substance that has only one kind of atom. There 118 elements that can be found
in the world and listed at the periodic table of elements. It was written at the periodic table with
their chemical symbols that are derived from their names. Example C or carbon.
Dmitri Mendeleev – the one who formulate the periodic table of elements.

Example:

Carbon C Aluminum Al Mercury Hg

Fluorine F Calcium Ca Oxygen O

Compound – is a pure substance that consists of two or more elements that are chemically
combined in a fixed portion.
Example: Carbon Dioxide, it has one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.
Types of Compound
1. Organic Compound – also called as carbon compounds, are substances that contain the
element carbon.
Example:
Methane CH4
Ethyl alcohol C2H6O11
Glucose C6H12O6

2. Inorganic compound – are compounds that has no carbon element.

Example:
Baking soda NaHCO3
Ammonia NH4
Table salt NaCl

Types of Mixture
1. Homogeneous Mixture – are mixtures that you can only observe one phase/state of matter. It
is also called as solution.
Example: Juice, coffee drink and softdrinks
2. Heterogeneous Mixture – are mixtures that you can observe two or more phases/states of
matter. It is also called as suspension.
Example: Halo-halo, gravel, sand and fruit salad.
