Classifying Matter by CompositionClassifying Matter by Composition
HomogeneousHomogeneous – – matter with a matter with a uniform compositionuniform composition
HeterogeneousHeterogeneous - - matter without a matter without a uniform compositionuniform composition
SubstanceSubstance- A pure type of matter - A pure type of matter that does not vary from sample to that does not vary from sample to sample. Includes sample. Includes elementselements and and compounds compounds

Classifying Matter by CompositionClassifying Matter by Composition ElementsElements- simplest kind of matter, made - simplest kind of matter, made
of one type of of one type of atomatom An atom is the smallest unit of an An atom is the smallest unit of an
element that maintains the element that maintains the propertiesproperties of of that element.that element.
Cannot be broken down into simpler Cannot be broken down into simpler substances by ordinary substances by ordinary chemicalchemical means means
Ex. Ex. gold, copper, oxygen (on the gold, copper, oxygen (on the periodic table)periodic table)

kinds of matter, each of which retains its kinds of matter, each of which retains its own identity and properties.own identity and properties.
A mixture is mixed together A mixture is mixed together physicallyphysically.. Variable composition, often expressed Variable composition, often expressed

Separating MixturesSeparating MixturesMixtures are separated by their
physical properties. Primary methods of separatingmixtures are:filtrationdistillationcentrifugechromatography
17
Separating MixturesSeparating MixturesFiltration is a method
used to separate the components of mixtures that contain an insoluble solid and a liquid. Example: sand and water
18
Separating MixturesSeparating MixturesDistillation is a method of
separating substances in a mixture by evaporation of a liquid and subsequent condensation of its vapor. Example: desalination of salt water
20
Separating MixturesSeparating MixturesCentrifugeCentrifuge Used to separate Used to separate solid-liquidsolid-liquid
mixtures such as those in mixtures such as those in blood. The centrifuge spins blood. The centrifuge spins rapidly and causes the solid rapidly and causes the solid to settle to the bottom.to settle to the bottom.

Separating MixturesSeparating MixturesChromatography is a method of
separating mixtures that uses a stationary phase and a mobile phase. Paper chromatography can be used to separate pigments because they move at different rates on the paper.
