Matter and Its Types in Chemistry

Presentation Transcript
What is Matter? • Matter - has mass and volume.
Not all matter has the same melting/boiling temperatures! • http://www.kentchemistry.com/links/Matter/PhaseChanges.htm
Matter can be sub-classed as pure substances and mixtures. A fish tank with fish, water, plants, shells, and gravel is a mixture. Water is a pure substance.
Pure substance • A pure substance is composed of only one kind of atom or molecule. • An atom is the basic unit of matter. • A molecule is a group of atoms held together by chemical bonds.
Elements • Elements are made up by only one type of atom • Examples = He, Au, Li, F2, H2 , C60
Compounds • Compounds are two or more different elements in a molecule. • Ex. H2O, CO2, CO, CH4
Compounds • Compound properties are different from those of the elements that compose them. • Ex. H2O = Water
Compounds • Compounds can only be separated into elemental components by chemical means.
Matter can be sub-classed as pure substances and mixtures. • Mixtures are not considered pure substances, but may be made up of pure substances
Mixtures • The substances that make up a mixture keep their individual chemical and physical properties. • Mixtures can be separated into its components by physical means.
Mixtures • Mixtures are sub-classed as heterogeneous mixtures and homogeneous mixtures
Homogeneous Mixtures • Are the same through out • You can not see the individual parts of the mixtures. • Example: Air, sugar water • Can be sub-classed as solutions and alloys
Solutions • All solutions are homogeneous mixtures. • Ex. Sugar water, salt water • The particles that make up a solutions are uniformly distributed.
Solutions • The particles are so small that they cannot be seen even at high magnification. • Examples: sweet tea, sea water, rubbing alcohol, cola
Parts of a Solution • Solute = The substance being dissolved • Solvent = The dissolving agent • Ex. Tea with sugar = solute sugar solvent tea
Alloys • A solid or liquid homogenous mixture of two or more metals. • 18 karat Au is 18 parts Au out of 24 . The remaining parts are Cu, Ag, or Ni.
Mixtures • Mixtures are sub-classed as heterogeneous mixtures and homogeneous mixtures
Heterogeneous Mixtures • Are not uniform through out • Some heterogeneous mixtures appear homogenous to the naked eye. • Ex. Skin
Heterogeneous Mixtures • Examples shake
Heterogeneous Mixtures • Heterogeneous Mixtures may be sub-classed at suspensions and colloids.
Suspensions • Have relatively large, easily seen particles that can settle out or form layers within a liquid. • Ex. Medicine that says “Shake before Using”
Suspensions • Particles can be filtered out in water suspensions
Colloids • A colloid has tiny particles, just large enough to produce a cloudy appearance. • The particles of a colloid are smaller than a suspension’s and larger than a solution’s particles.
Colloids • Examples: Milk Mayonnaise
Colloids produce the Tyndalleffect • The Tyndall effect happens when a light beam shines through a colloid. The beam’s path can be seen in the liquid.
