Matter
Matter Can it be separated physically? Mixture A blend of two or more kinds of matter, each which retains its own identity and properties.
Mixture A blend of two or more kinds of matter, each which retains its own identity and properties. In this example: Piña colada still retains piña colada identity Blueberry still retains blueberry identity Can be separated into distinct parts
Matter Can it be separated physically? Mixture Pure Substance A blend of two or more kinds of matter, each which retains its own identity and properties. Has a fixed composition with exactly the same characteristic properties.
Pure substance Has a fixed composition with exactly the same characteristic properties. Example: Sugar (sucrose) - A sugar molecule always has 12 Carbon, 22 Hydrogen, and 11 Oxygen atoms bonded together
Matter Can it be separated physically? Mixture Pure Substance A blend of two or more kinds of matter, each which retains its own identity and properties. Has a fixed composition with exactly the same characteristic properties. Is the composition uniform? Homogenous Mixture
Homogeneous Both “homogeneous” (ho-mo-gee-nee-us) and “homogenous” (ho-mah-gen-us) are acceptable pronunciations
Examples Air Sugar in water Stainless steel – carbon, chromium, nickel
Matter Mixture Pure Substance Homogenous Mixture Heterogeneous Mixture Can it be separated physically? Mixture Pure Substance A blend of two or more kinds of matter, each which retains its own identity and properties. Has a fixed composition with exactly the same characteristic properties. Is the composition uniform? Homogenous Mixture Heterogeneous Mixture Examples: Air Sugar in water Stainless steel
Heterogeneous Heterogeneous: Both acceptable: (het-er-uh-gee-nee-us) (het-er-uh-gee-nyus)
Examples Granite Quarts Mica Feldspar Wood Blood
Wood Wood Cellulose Hemicellulose Lignin
Blood Blood White cells, Red cells Platelets Plasma

Has a fixed composition with exactly the same characteristic properties. Is the composition uniform? Can it be decomposed by ordinary chemical means? Homogenous Mixture Heterogeneous Mixture Compound Examples: Air Sugar in water Stainless steel Examples: Granite Wood Blood
Compound Examples: Water (H2O) Sodium chloride (NaCl) Sucrose (C12H22O11)
