Extensive properties- dependent on the amount of substance there. (mass, volume) Intensive properties- depends on the type of matter and is independent of how much is there. (density, ability to burn) Physical properties- things are observed or measured (color, density, brittle or hard, melting point, boiling point, freezing point) Chemical properties- its ability to undergo chemical reactions (ability to burn, corrosiveness, decompose, rust, explode)
Pure substances can not be separated by physical means such as heat or tearing Two types of pure substances Element Compound
They can not be broken down by chemical means into any simpler substances. All elements are found on the periodic table (116 of them) Given a chemical symbol on the periodic table. 1 st letter is always CAPITALIZED 2 nd letter is always lower case (if there is one)
Composed of two or more elements chemically combined. Can be broken down in elemental forms by chemical means. Examples: H 2 O, CO 2, H 2 SO 4 H 2 O + electricity → H 2 + O 2
Better known as Mixtures Mixtures are a combination of elements and or compounds that can be separated by physical means. Example: Salt water can be separated into salt and water by evaporating the water. Two types of mixtures Homogeneous Heterogeneous
You can not visibly distinguish the difference between the parts of the mixture Homogenized milk Orange juice without pulp Salt water Air Ink Steel Another name is solution
You can visibly see the parts of the mixture Rough Concrete Chocolate chip cookies
Filtration- separates pieces of a mixture by the size of the particles Example: coffee filters Distillation- separates parts of a mixture by their boiling points Example: Alcohol from water
When the substance itself remains the same Examples: Phase Changes. When H 2 O goes from a liquid to a solid in the freezing process, it still remains H 2 O. Tearing Cutting Bending
When the chemical makeup and hence the symbols change during a chemical reaction. Heating of sugar and turn C 6 H 12 O 6 into Carbon and H 2 O C 6 H 12 O 6 + heat → C + H 2 O Left side of ARROW are reactants Right side of ARROW are products Arrow means produces or yields + sign means “and” or “reacts with”
