Classification of Matter Bromfield Chemistry CP
2
Chemistry The study of the composition of substances and the changes they undergo
3
Chemistry The study of the composition of substances and the changes they undergo Many different “branches” of chemistry
4
Chemistry The study of the composition of substances and the changes they undergo Many different “branches” of chemistry All matter has a chemical basis Matter = anything that has mass and volume
5
Substance A particular kind of matter with a uniform and constant composition Can be represented by a single chemical formula
6
Substance A particular kind of matter with a uniform and constant composition “pure” substance
7
Atoms Smallest building block of matter About 110 different kinds of atoms AFM image of Tungsten atoms 77 pm resolution
8
Molecules Clusters of atoms behaving as a unit because they are chemically joined
9
Two classes of pure substances Element pure substance containing only 1 type of atom
10
Two classes of pure substances Element pure substance containing only 1 type of atom Can’t be broken down into simpler substances About 115 different elements ~90 elements occur naturally
11
Two classes of pure substances Compound pure substance containing only 1 type of molecule The molecules must contain 2 or more different kinds of atoms Can be broken down into simpler substances
12
Mixture A sample of matter containing 2 or more different pure substances, physically blended together
13
Mixture The components may be separated
14
2 categories of mixtures Homogeneous
15
2 categories of mixtures Homogeneous Components are uniformly distributed
16
2 categories of mixtures Homogeneous Components are uniformly distributed Also referred to as “solution”
17
2 categories of mixtures Homogeneous Components are uniformly distributed Also called “solution” May be in solid, liquid, or gas phase
18
2 categories of mixtures Homogeneous Components are uniformly distributed solution May be in solid, liquid, or gas phase Alloy—homogeneous mixture of metals
19
2 categories of mixtures Heterogeneous
20
2 categories of mixtures Heterogeneous Components are non-uniformly distributed
21
2 categories of mixtures Heterogeneous Components are non-uniformly distributed Ratios of components may vary throughout May observe distinct phases or an interface
22
What types of matter are shown?
