BUILDING BLOCKS OF MATTER Matter – Anything that takes up space and has mass Mass – Measure of amount of matter (grams) Atom – Smallest part of an element that maintains the properties of that element Comes from Greek “átomos”, which means “uncuttable” or “the smallest indivisible particle of matter” Was coined in 450 BCE by Democritus
ATOMS
BUILDING BLOCKS OF MATTER Matter – Anything that takes up space and has mass Mass – Measure of amount of matter (grams) Atom – Smallest part of an element that maintains the properties of that element Element – Pure substance with only one type of atom Cannot be separated into a simpler substance

MIXTURES Heterogeneous Mixture: Components that make up the mixture are not uniform Rocks, oil and water, soup, pizza Homogenous Mixture: Components that make up the mixture are uniformly distributed throughout Air, sugar water
CAN YOU IDENTIFY THE FOLLOWING? You will be shown a series of photos. Tell if each photo represents an item composed of an element, compound, or mixture. Review: An element contains just one type of atom. A compound contains two or more different atoms joined together. A mixture contains two or more different substances that are only physically joined together, not chemically. A mixture can contain both elements and compounds.
