Topics to be discussed:
 Mixture
 Pure substance
 Homogeneous mixture
 Heterogeneous mixture
 Solution
 Element
 compound
Classifying Matter: matter can be
classified into two main types
 Mixture  Pure Substances
 contains more than  is matter that cannot
one kind of matter that be separated by
can be separated by physical means

Two Types of substances
 Elements  Compounds
 has one kind type of  a substance that
atom contains more than one
type of atom
 examples:  examples:
 helium (He)  H2O (pure water)
 carbon (C)
 NaCl (sodium chloride)
 hydrogen (H)
 oxygen (O)
 Matter
 Examples of elements:

mercury

gold
aluminum

iodine
 Basic units of substances are
always in motion
 Atom
 is the smallest possible particle of an
element

 Molecule
 is the smallest particle of the compound that
retains the properties of the compound
Types of mixtures
 Heterogeneous  Homogeneous
mixture Mixture
 the composition is not  The composition is
uniform (different) uniform (same)
 examples:  examples:
 chicken noodle soup  salt water
 mixed nuts  tap water
 soil  brass
What type of mixture is it?
homogeneous
heterogeneous

Salt water
Solutions, Suspensions, and Colloids
 It isn’t always easy to tell the difference
between a homogeneous or heterogeneous
mixture.
 Based on the size of its largest particles, a
mixture can be classified as a solution, a
suspension, or a colloid.
Solutions
 When substances dissolve and form a
homogeneous mixture, the mixture that
forms is called a solution.
All mixtures can be separated.
 Methods to separate mixtures
 1. Sorting
 2. Filtering
 3. Heating
 4. Cooling
 5. distillation
