What do the blue arrows mean?

Mixtures can be sorted using physical processes into substances.
Compounds can be separated using chemical processes into elements
3
Last word on compounds “A compound is a substance that is made of two of more simpler substances and can be broken down into those simpler substances.” ( Elements cannot…) Example : The decomposition of water; also called the electrolysis of water. (Phil Morrison video)

Observing Chemical Properties “As a candle burns, new substances are formed.” What are the new substances? Water + Carbon dioxide Old substances? Candle wax + oxygen
5
“ A chemical property is any ability to produce a change in the composition of matter.” (text)
In other words, new substances are formed!

2 Chemical Properties Flammability – the ability of a substance to burn in the presence of oxygen Examples Lighter fluid, paper, candle wax (paraffin.) 2. Reactivity – how readily a substance combines chemically with other substances. Oxygen is a highly reactive element. (copper bar; silver spoon) Nitrogen is less reactive.
7
Oxygen is reactive. Nitrogen is unreactive.

3 ways to make new substances in your kitchen… (Recognizing Chemical Changes)
1. Banana ripens Color change new color, new substance 2. “volcano experiment” baking soda +vinegar Production of a gas bubbles without heat, new substance
9
3. Chunky (curdled) milk Formation of a Precipitate Solid from liquids, new substance
