CLASSIFICATION OF MATTER
Pure Substances: Contain only 1 type of material Cannot be separated by physical means (filtration, etc.) Mixtures: Elements: Compounds: Homogeneous Mixtures: Heterogeneous Mixtures: Classifying Matter
Pure Substances: Contain only 1 type of material Cannot be separated by physical means (filtration, etc.) Mixtures: Made up of a variety of particles Can be separated using physical methods such as hand sorting, filtering, evaporation Elements: Compounds: Homogeneous Mixtures: Heterogeneous Mixtures: Classifying Matter
Pure Substances: Contain only 1 type of material Cannot be separated by physical means (filtration, etc.) Mixtures: Made up of a variety of particles Can be separated using physical methods such as hand sorting, filtering, evaporation Elements: The simplest forms of all matter Consist of only one type of particle called an atom. Only 117 elements Compounds: Homogeneous Mixtures: Heterogeneous Mixtures: Classifying Matter

Only 117 elements Compounds: Made of 2 or more elements chemically combined The particle is called a molecule The number of possible compounds is endless.
