S7MTIG-H-5

•Recognize that substances

are classified into
elements and compounds
 PURE SUBSTANCES

• A sample of matter that has definite chemical and physical properties.

 ELEMENTS
• pure substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances by physical or
chemical means.
COMPOUNDS
Pure substance composed of two or more different elements
joined by chemical bonds.

• Made of elements in a specific ratio

that is always the same
• Has a chemical formula
• Can only be separated by
chemical means, not physically
COMMON COMPOUNDS YOU SHOULD KNOW

• Table Salt  NaCl (sodium chloride)

• Chalk  CaCO3 (calcium carbonate)
• Rust  FeO (iron oxide)
• Carbon Dioxide  CO2
 MIXTURES

• A combination of two or more pure substances that are not

chemically combined.
• substances held together by physical forces, not chemical
• No chemical change takes place
• Each item retains its properties
in the mixture
• They can be separated physically

 CLASSIFICATION OF MIXTURES

• Two groups:
• Heterogeneous mixtures - substances that
are not distributed evenly throughout the
mixture; you can see the different parts
• Examples: chicken noodle soup, oil and water,
orange juice with pulp and ice cubes
• Homogeneous mixtures (ALSO KNOWN AS
SOLUTIONS) - substances that are evenly
distributed throughout the mixture; you
canNOT see the different parts
• Examples: blood, coffee, pulp-free orange juice,
salt water
 CAN YOU IDENTIFY THE FOLLOWING?

Review:
• An element contains just one type of atom.
• A compound contains two or more different atoms joined together.
• A mixture contains two or more different substances that are only
physically joined together, not chemically.
• A mixture can contain both elements and compounds.
