Resource summary
Classifying Matter
Pure Substances
Element
Cannot be broken down Same composition One type of atom
Compound
Made of two or more pure substances Can be broken down Different types of atoms
Every sample of a given substance has the same properties because a substance has a fixed, uniform composition
Mixtures
Homogeneous
you can't tell the difference between substances
Solution
Can separate by: Distillation - separates materials based on boiling points,
don’t reflect light, doesn’t form layers, can’t filter it
Heterogeneous
you can tell the difference between substances
Suspension
Separate over time into layers, (water and sand) scatters light, if in water
Can separate by: Filtration - separates materials based on particle size
A mix of substances to form one substance
Colloid
Bigger particles than solution, smaller than suspension, do not separate into layers, reflects light (fog)
