1. Mixtures and Compounds

2. Types of Mixtures Two types of mixtures exist 1. Homogeneous
Uniform in nature
Cannot tell that it is a mixture by just looking at it
Said to have 1 phase
Called Solutions
CANNOT USE FILTRATION TO SEPARATE IT!!!!!

4. Types of mixtures continued
2. Heterogeneous
Not uniform in nature
Can clearly see all of the parts of the mixture
Said to have 2 or more phases depending on how many things are mixed together

6. How to Separate a Mixture
1. Evaporation
2. Boil
3. Use Filtration (For heterogeneous mixtures only!!!)
4. Distillation (Liquid Mixtures only)
Separation by difference in boiling points)
5. Separation by density
6. Chromatography

7. Element Vs. Compound 1. Element Simplest form of matter
Cannot be broken down any further
Used as the building blocks for all things in nature

8. Compound Formed from the combination of 2 or more elements
Will have unique properties that are different from the elements that created it
Can be broken down into the component elements
Formula is in a definite ratio
