Compounds
Group 1
These are all MATTER.
 Pure Substances
• Is defined as substances
that are made of only one
type of atom or molecule.
• The purity of a substance
is the measure of the
extent to which a given
substance is pure.
• The physical properties of
a pure substance include
well-defined melting and
boiling points.
 Compounds
A chemical compound is a chemical substance
composed of many identical molecules composed
of atoms from more than one element held
together by chemical bonds. All compounds are
molecules, but not all molecules are compounds.
• An element is a substance whose atoms all have
the same number of protons.
• Elements are chemically the simplest substances
and hence cannot be broken down using
chemical reactions.

Chromatography
Column chromatography is a
chromatography technique used to
separate mixture of chemical
substances into its individual
compounds. Column chromatography
is a widely used method for the
purification or separation of chemical
compound mixture in lab.
 Column Chromatography consists of two phases:
one mobile phase and one contiguous
stationery phase. The stationery phase is solid and
the mobile phase is liquid. The compound mixture
moves along with the mobile phase through
stationery phase and separates depending on the
different degree of adhesion (to the silica) of each
component in the sample or the compound
mixture.
Electrolysis
• chemical decomposition
produced by passing an
electric current through a
liquid or solution
containing ions.
• It is commercially important
as a stage in the separation
of elements from naturally
occurring sources such as
ores using an electrolytic
cell.
