1 Classification of Matter

2 Matter mass Matter, the material of which the universe is composed, may be defined as anything that occupies space and has mass Mass Mass is a measure of quantity of matter What is matter?

3 How can we classify a material? element  by its chemical constitution as an element, compoundmixture a compound, or a mixture solidliquidgas  by its physical state as solid, liquid, or gas

4 A pure substance that cannot be decomposed into simpler substances Element

6 At present 1 11 114 different elements are known About 9 99 90 of the elements can be extracted from natural sources, but only about 3 33 30 elements are fairly common

7 Elements of the living organism: 11 elements can be found in the living organism in large quantity: H, C, N, O, Na, Mg, P, S, Cl, K, Ca

8 7 elements in small quantity: Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, I, Mo 7 elements are important only for a few species: B, F, Si, V, Cr, Se, Sn

11 A pure substance that is composed of two or more elements in fixed proportions chemically and that can be chemically decomposed into these elements Compound water: e.g. water: 11.19% hydrogen 88.81% oxygen iron (III) oxyde: iron (III) oxyde: 70.0% iron 30.0% oxygen

12 Known compounds: oover 10 000inorganic oover 5 000 000organic

13 Consist two or more pure substances and have variable composition Homogeneous (air, salt in water, silver-gold alloy) Homogeneous mixture appears uniform throughout and is usually called a solution (air, salt in water, silver-gold alloy) Heterogeneous (iron + sulfur; iron + sand) Heterogeneous mixture is not uniform throughout but consists of parts that are physically distinct (iron + sulfur; iron + sand) Mixtures
