CLASSIFYING MATTERCh. 2
True False Statement True False
An compound is an example of a pure substance
Heterogeneous mixtures are the same throughout
Colloids scatter light, and an example is fog
Suspensions are mixtures that will separate into layers
Sugar and water is a homogeneous solution
Pure Substances - matter that always has the same
composition Every sample of the substances always has
to same properties Uniform composition, fixed properties
Elements Cannot be broken
down into simple substances
Contains only 1 type of atom(smallest particle of an element)
Symbols 1st letter always
capitalized, 2nd never
Same globally Ex:
Compounds Substance made
of 2 or more simpler substances
Can be broken down into simpler substances
Properties differ from the elements in which its made
Has a fixed proportion
Ex:
Mixtures Retain some properties of individual
substances Composition is not fixed
Mixtures
Different types of substances
Unevenly mixed
Appears to be only 1 substance
Evenly mixed
Heterogeneous Homogenous
Solution Homogenous Mixtures Particles are too small- to settle out, to
be trapped by filter, or scatter light Ex:
Suspension Heterogeneous Mixtures Separates into layers over time Particles are trapped by filters, and can
scatter light Ex:
Colloid Heterogeneous Mixture Particles never settle out Scatter light= Tyndall Effect Ex:
PHYSICAL PROPERTIESCh. 2.2
True False Statement True False
The greater the viscosity, the faster a substance moves
Malleability is the ability to be hammered without shattering
Physical changes don’t change the substance, and can be reversed
Distillation separates substances based on melting points
Physical properties help us choose materials to use
Physical Properties Characteristics of matter Observed/ measured without changing
the composition
Physical Properties
Resistance to flow High viscosity=
slow Low viscosity=
fast Decreases with
heat
Ability for heat to flow
High conductivity= conductors
Viscosity Conductivity
Physical Properties
Ability to be hammered without shattering
Ability to scratch another surface
Diamond- hardest known material
Malleability Hardness
Physical Properties
Temp. which solid turn liquid- melting point
Temp. which liquid turns gas- boiling point
Test purity of a substance
Melting/Boiling Points Density
Using Physical Properties ID Materials
1-decide which properties to test
2-test the sample of unknown
3- compare results to known
Choose Materials Look at properties
for specific uses
Using Physical Properties Filtration
Process that separates materials based on particle
Distillation Process that
separates substances based on boiling points
Physical Change Properties change Substances materials remain the same!
2.3Chemical Properties
True False Statement True False
Flammability is the ability to burn in the presence of nitrogen
Change in color is a chemical change
Formation of a solid is a precipitate
Chemical changes alter the composition of the original
substanceRust is an example of a chemical
change
Chemical Properties Ability to produce a change in the
composition of matter 1 substance changes into another
Chemical Properties
Ability to burn in presence of oxygen
How readily a substance combines chemically with other substances
Flammability Reactivity
Chemical Change 1 substances reacts with another to form
1 or more new substances
Signs of Chemical Change Color Change-
Production of Gas-
Formation of Precipitate-
