  1. Classifying Matter:Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures By Liz LaRosa revised by Karen Meadows www.middleschoolscience.com 2009

  2. Pure Substances • A sample of matter that has definite chemical and physical properties. Atoms Elements Compounds Molecules

  3. Elements • pure substance that cannot be separated into simpler substance by physical or chemical means.

  4. 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 H2O NaCl CO2

  5. 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

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

  7. 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.

  36. Notes • Detailed notes are located at: http://www.middleschoolscience.com/elements-compounds-mixtures-notes-isn.pdf • Flow Chart: http://www.middleschoolscience.com/matter-flow-chart-isn.pdf

  37. Mixtures • A combination of 2 or more substances that do not combine chemically, but remain the same individual substances • Can be separated by physical means Two Types: • Heterogeneous • Homogeneous

  38. Heterogeneous Mixture • “Hetero” means different • Visibly different substances or phases (solid, liquid, gas) Suspension • A special type of heterogeneous mixture • A mixture of larger particles that eventually settle

  39. Homogeneous Mixture • “Homo” means the same • Has the same uniform appearance and composition throughout • Maintains one phase (solid, liquid, gas) • Commonly referred to as solutions • Example: Salt water

  40. Methods of Separating Mixtures

  41. Filtration can be used to separate an insoluble substance from a soluble substance

  42. Evaporation can be used to separate a solute from the solvent in a solution

  43. Evaporation of sea water to produce salt
