1. Classifying Matter: Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures

2. Pure Substances A sample of matter that has definite chemical and physical properties. pure substance cannot be separated into simpler substance by physical or chemical means

3. Elements There are more than one hundred known elements in the universe listed on the periodic table of elements. – These elements combine in such a way to create millions of compounds.

4. Elements All elements are made of atoms. – An atom is the basic building block of matter. Atoms of the same element are alike and have the same properties. Atoms of different elements are different.

5. Common Elements AluminumAl BromineBr CalciumCa CarbonC GoldAu HeliumHe HydrogenH NitrogenN

6. Compounds Pure substance composed of two or more different elements joined by chemical bonds. – Made of elements in a specific ratio that is always the same – Has a chemical formula – Can only be separated by chemical means, not physically

7. Compounds Water is a compound. Water can be broken down into simpler substances – hydrogen and oxygen.

8. Mixtures A combination of two or more pure substances that are not chemically combined. substances held together by physical forces, not chemical No chemical change takes place Each item retains its properties in the mixture They can be separated physically Chem4kids.com

9. Mixtures can be homogeneous or heterogeneous

10. Is it uniform throughout? If the answer is YES, the matter is homogeneous (looks the same throughout). An example of a homogeneous mixture is sugar dissolved in water. It has a uniform distribution

11. The substances are not uniformly mixed. Example: Sand in a glass of water. Heterogeneous mixtures are composed of large pieces that are easily separated by physical means (ie. density, polarity, metallic properties).

12. Mixtures vs. Compounds http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks3bitesize/science/chemistry/elements_com_mix_6.shtml

13. Can you identify the following? You will be shown a series of photos. Tell if each photo represents an item composed of an element, compound, or mixture. Review: An element contains just one type of atom. A compound contains two or more different atoms joined together. A mixture contains two or more different substances that are only physically joined together, not chemically. – A mixture can contain both elements and compounds.
