Classification of Matter

Matter - anything that occupy space and has mass

The Classes of Matter

Pure substances have a constant

composition, identical chemical and physical
properties

Element – the simplest form of matter since

it contains only one kind of atom.
- Cannot be decomposed by ordinary
chemical means
- Ex. Iron, silver, gold, aluminum, oxygen,
hydrogen, carbon
- 118 total elements, 88 are naturally on
earth

Compounds – contain two or more elements

chemically combined in a definite proportion
by mass
- Can be separated by chemical means
- With definite physical and chemical
properties
- Ex. Sugar, table salt, water, alcohol and
acids
Mixtures – consists of two or more
substances that are physically combined in
no definite proportion by mass
- Can be separated by ordinary physical
means

Homogeneous mixture – has a uniform

composition (one phase, solutions)
- ex. Air, softdrink, limewater, water salt

Heterogeneous mixture – with two or more

distinct phases
- ex. Halo-halo, oil-water mixture

Solubility is the capacity of a substance to dissolve in another
substance
Components of a Solution
Solute – the dissolve substance (usually present in small
amount
Solvent – the dissolving fluid (usually present in excess or
greater amount)
Naturally Occurring Solutions

Seawater – solution having a higher percentage of salt and

minerals than other sources of water
Rainwater – containing dissolved gases like oxygen and
carbon dioxide
Air – mixture of gases. Air above big bodies of water
contains more water vapor than air above the deserts
Humidity- the amount of water vapor in the air
Dry air consists of about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 1%
argon, 0.04% carbon-dioxide
Manufactured and processed solutions

Vinegar – contains about 5% acetic acid in water but others

are colloidal. Wine and liquor, and tea ( but not instant tea)
are manufactured solutions
Metal alloy is a solid solution made up of two or more metals.
Example: Bronze –alloy of copper and tin
Brass – alloy of copper and zinc
Steel – alloy of iron and carbon
Cast iron – made up of carbon, silicon and iron used in cook
wares and bridge construction
