1. Classification of Matter
Elements, Compounds, Mixtures

2. Lesson Objective Physical and Chemical Changes. Elements Compounds
Mixtures

3. Physical and Chemical Changes
All reaction in Chemistry can be divided into two types of changes: Physical or Chemical.
Physical Change:
NO new substance is formed.
These changes are easily reversible or temporary.
An example is dissolving salt in water.
Other examples of physical change include: melting, boiling, mixing 2 solids or liquids.

4. Physical and Chemical Changes
A NEW substance is formed.
These changes are irreversible or permanent.
The new substance formed will have different properties compared to its original elements. (E.g. different melting and different chemical reactions from the original substance.)

6. Introducing Little Miss “Element”
Hi! I am Little Miss “Element”
I am PURE SUBSTANCE
I cannot be broken down into any simpler substance by means of a chemical reaction* or electricity**!
*Chemical process refers to chemical reaction or heat
**Electricity refers to electrolysis

7. Definition of an element:
Elements
Definition of an element:
An element is a pure substance which cannot be split up into two or more simpler substances by chemical means.
Sugar is not an element as it can be broken down into carbon and water.

8. Elements Note that an element: Consists of only one kind of atom,
Cannot be broken down into a simpler type of matter by either physical or chemical means
Can exist as either atoms (e.g. argon) or molecules (e.g., nitrogen).

9. Examples of elements Molecules Atoms
Elements are made up of tiny particles
Elements can be further classified into two groups:
Molecules
Atoms
Is made up of two or more
atoms that are chemically
bonded together
(note: these atoms are of the
SAME element!!)
Is the smallest particle
of an element and has
the same chemical properties
of the element

19. Introducing Little Miss “Compounds”
Harlow! Hehee!!!
*giggles*
I am also a PURE SUBSTANCE
I am made up of a fixed number of two or more elements chemically combined.

20. Compounds Note that a compound:
can be broken down into a simpler type of matter (elements) by chemical means (but not by physical means),
has properties that are different from its component elements, and
always contains the same ratio of its component atoms.

21. What is a compound?
A compound is a substance which is made up of two or more elements chemically combined together.
Chemical reactions taking place.
Qn: Is this a compound?
Qn: Is this a compound?
Qn: Is this a compound? H H O Cu
It only contains one type of element.
It only contains one type of element. O
It is not chemically combined. H H O

22. So, what is a compound then?
Water
Ammonia gas
Consists of two or more elements
And
They are chemically combined together!

23. Compounds

26. Little Miss “Compound” Property #2
I am formed by atoms of different elements. However, I do not have the properties as them.
Examples
Na + Cl2  NaCl
(s) (g) (s)
H2 + O2  H2O
(g) (g) (l)

27. Little Miss “Compound” Property #3
Electrolysis
(breaking down of compound by electricity)
2MgCl(s)  Mg(s) +Cl2(g)
Thermal Decomposition
(breaking down of compound by heat)
HgO(s)  Hg(s) + O2(g)
Because of my chemical bonds, I cannot be broken down by physical means. I can only be broken down by chemical reaction or electricity.

28. Summarizing
A compound is made up of two or more elements chemically joined together
A compound has a fixed composition
Every compound has a unique chemical formula
A compound has a completely different properties from its elements
A chemical reaction (decomposition or electrolysis) is needed to separate the elements in the compound

29. Molecules- Elements or compounds?
A molecule consists of two or more atoms of the same element, or different elements, that are chemically bound together.
It can be a molecule of an element
E.g. N2, O2, S8
It can be molecule of a compound.
H2O, CO2, NH3 N O S O H C N

31. Definition of a mixture:
Mixtures
Definition of a mixture:
A mixture is not a pure substance as it contains a mixture of atoms of molecules which are not chemically combined together.

32. Mixtures Note that a mixture:
consists of two or more different elements and/or compounds NOT chemically combined.
Can be homogeneous or non-homogeneous
can be separated into its components by physical means, and
often retains many of the properties of its components.

An element is a pure substance which cannot be split up into two or more simpler substances by chemical means.
A compound consist of a fixed number of different kinds of atoms chemically combined together.
A mixture is not a pure substance as it contains a mixture of atoms of molecules which are not chemically combined together.

42. Difference between mixtures and compounds.
E.g.
Water H2O
Mixtures
Salt solution
Separation
Cannot be separated into its constituents by physical methods. Separation can only be done by chemical methods or by electricity.
e.g. Water can only be separated into Hydrogen and Oxygen by Electrolysis.
Can be easily separated into its constituents by physical methods.
e.g. Salt can be obtained from its solution by evaporation. Water can be obtained by simple distillation.

43. Difference between mixtures and compounds.
E.g.
Water H2O
Mixtures
Salt solution
Composition
The composition is fixed. The constituents (elements) in the compound are combined in definite amount.
e.g. To form one molecule of water, two atoms of Hydrogen and one atom of Oxygen is needed.
Has no fixed composition. The amount of constituents in a mixture can vary.
e.g. The amount of salt added into the water to make salt solution can vary and vice versa.

44. Difference between mixtures and compounds.
E.g.
Water H2O
Mixtures
Salt solution
Properties
The physical and chemical properties of the compound is different from the properties of its constituents.
e.g. Hydrogen and Oxygen are gases while water is a liquid at room temperature and pressure.
e.g. Water has a fixed melting and boiling point.
The mixture does not have its own properties. It has the average physical and chemical properties of the constituents that made it up. (Each constituents still retain its own properties)
e.g. The salt solution still retains its salt taste.
e.g. Salt solution does not have a fixed melting or boiling point, but rather over a range of temperature.

45. Difference between mixtures and compounds.
E.g.
Water H2O
Mixtures
Salt solution
Energy Change
Energy is usually given out or occasionally taken in when a compound is formed.
Normally little or no energy is given out or taken in when a mixture is formed.
