1 Classification of Matter

2 Classification of Matter
PURE SUBSTANCES MIXTURES SOLUTIONS MECHANICAL MIXTURES ELEMENTS COMPOUNDS

3 MIXTURES Contain more than one type of particle Solids, liquids or gas
Most common Have variable composition Two types: SOLUTIONS AND MECHANICAL MIXTURES

4 SOLUTIONS At least two types of particles
Particles uniformly scattered (can’t tell one from the other) Separation techniques: distillation, evaporation Eg. Perfume, cream in coffee, alloys (2+ metals)

5 MECHANICAL MIXTURES At least two types of particles
Particles NOT uniformly scattered (can tell one from the other) Separation techniques: filtration, evaporation Eg. Soil, pizza, orange juice with pulp

6 PURE SUBSTANCES Contains only one type of atom or molecule
Can be natural (cotton) or synthetic (polyester)

7 ELEMENTS One type of particle (atom)
100+ different kinds (see periodic table) Includes diatomic atoms (O2, N2, H2, etc.)

8 COMPOUNDS More than one type of atom Must be on the periodic table
Does not include diatomics Eg. CO2, H2O
