Elements
According to Antoine Laurent Lavoisier element is the Basic form of Matter, that cannot be broken
down into simpler substances chemical reaction.
Cannot be split up into two or more simple substance because it is made up of one kind of Atom.
“Elements are normally divided into metals and Non-metals and Metalloids”
Metals
A Metal is a substance, that is Malleable, and ductile and conduct electricity.
Example: Iron, Copper, Aluminium, Zinc, Gold, Silver etc.
All the metals are solid except one metal that is mercury which is liquid.
APNI KAKSHA 1
Properties of Metals
1. They have a lusture (Shine): Gold, Silver, Copper are shiny metals (most metals are silver – grey
column)
2. They conduct heat and electricity, It means metals are generally good conductor of Heat, silver
metal is best conductor of heat.
• Copper and Aluminium Metals are also very good conductors of Heat, this is the reason
why cooking utensils are made up of copper and Aluminium.
Poorest Conductor of Heat among the Metals are lead and Mercury electric wires are
made up of copper and Aluminium Metal because they are good conductor
3. Metals are Generally Hard:
Most of metals are hard except sodium, Potassium. Metals like iron, copper, Aluminium etc. are
very hard
4. Metals are Malleable:
This means that metals can be beaten into sheets with a hammer, without breaking.
• Aluminium, Copper, gold, silver are highly malleable metals.
Example: Aluminium foils are used for packing food items like Biscuits, Chocolates etc.
“Malleability is an important Characteristic Property”
5. Metals are Ductile:
This means that Metals can be stretched into thin wires, gold and silver are best ductile metals.
Cu and Al are also very ductile so used in making electrical wires.
6. They are Sonorous:
Metals make a ringing sounds when we strike them, this is why metals are used for making bells,
musical instuments etc.
7. Non-Metal:
A Non-Metal is an element that is neither Malleable nor ductile and does not conduct electricity
Example: Carbon, Sulphur, Hydrogen, Oxygen etc.
Properties of Non-Metals
1. Non-Metals are Not-Mallable:
Non-metals cannot be beaten into thin sheets with a Hammer; Non-metals are Brittle, when
beaten with a hammer, they break into small pieces.
“Brittleness is chracteristic property of solid Non-Metal”
APNI KAKSHA 2
Example: Sulphur and phosphorus are Non-Metals and they are Not Ductile
“Non-Metals are Nither Malleable nor Ductile”.
Metal Non-Metal
1. Metals are Malleable and ductile 1. Non-Metals are Brittle.
2. Metals are good conductor of 2. Non-Metals are Bad Conductors of
Heat and Electricity. Heat and Electricity.
3. Metals are lustrous (Shiny) 3. Non-Metals are Non-lustrous
4. Metals are Sonorous 4. Non-Metals are not Sonorous
Metalloids
Which show some properties of Metals and some properties of Non-metal
Metalloids are also sometimes called semi-metals
The important examples of Metalloids are
• Boron
• Silicon
• Germanium
You know What !
• Eleven Elements are in gaseous state at Room temp
• Mercury and Bromine are liquid at Room temp
• Gallium and Cesium become liquid at a temperature slightly above room temperature.
Compounds
A compound is a substance composed of two or more elements, chemically combined with one
another in a fixed proportion.
APNI KAKSHA 3
For example: Water (H2O) is a compound which is made up of two hydrogen and one oxygen
Ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) is also a compound it is made up of one Nitrogen, four Hydrogen
and one Chlorine.
Difference Between Mixture and Compound
Mixtures Compound
1. A mixture can be separated into its 1. A compound cannot be
constituents by the physical process like separated into its constituents by
Filtration evaporation, sublimation etc. Physical process
2. A mixture shows properties of it’s 2. The properties of a compound
Constituents. are entirely different from
those of it’s constituents.
3. The composition of a mixture is variable, 3. The composition of a
the components can be present in any compound is fixed, Constituents are
proportion by mass present in fixed proportion by
mass
Mixtures
A mixture is a substance which consists of two or more elements or compounds are Not
chemically combined together.
Example: Air is a mixture of gases like oxygen, Nitrogen, argon, Carbondioxide
Type of Mixtures:
1. Homogeneous Mixture
2. Heterogeneous Mixture
Homogeneous Mixture
A mixture is said to be Homogeneous if all the components of the mixtures are uniformaly
mixed and there are No boundaries of separation between them.
Example: Sugar in water, Salt in water.
Heterogeneous Mixture
A mixture is said to be Heterogeneous if all the components of the mixture are Not uniformly
mixed and there are visible boundaries of separation between them.
What is a Solution ?
A solution is a Homogeneous Mixture of two or more substances.
Example: Lemonade, Sugar solution etc.
Components of Solution
1. Solvent 2. Solute
Solvent
The component of the solution that the dissolves the other component in it is called the solvent
(present in larger quantity)
APNI KAKSHA 4
Properties of Solution
1. A solution is a Homogeneous mixture.
2. The particles of a solution are smaller than 1 nm in diameter which cannot be seen by
naked eyes.
3. They do not scatter a Beam of light passing through the solution, that is they don’t show
tyndall effect. (so, the path of light is Not visible in a solution)
4. The solute particles cannot be separated from the mixture by the process of filtration.
5. The solution is stable and solute particles do not settle down when left undisturbed.
Type of a Solution
Concentration of a Solution:
1. Saturated Solution:
When no more amount of solute can be dissolved in a solution at a given temperature; it is
called a saturated solution.
2. Unsaturated Solution:
When more amount of solute can be dissolved in a solution at a given temperature, it is
called a unsaturated solution.
3. Solubility:
The amount of the solute present in the saturated solution at the given temp is called its
solubility.
APNI KAKSHA 5
Concentration of Solution
The concentration of a solution is the amount of solute present in a given amount of a solution
(mass/volume)
Dilute Solution
The solution having small amount of solute is said to have low concentration it is known as a
Dilute Solution.
Concentrated Solution
The solution having a large amount of solute is said to be high concentration, it is known as a
concentrated solution.
Various ways of expressing the concentration of a solution.
APNI KAKSHA 6
Colloids
Colloidal solution is Heterogeneous mixture in which the size of particle lies between true solution
and suspension.
Colloids appear to be Homogeneous, but actually they are found to Heterogeneous.
Properties of Colloidal Solution
1. The particles of colloid can’t be seen by Naked eyes individually.
2. It is a stable mixture particles do not settle down at the bottom over a period of time.
3. A colloidal solution appears to be Homogeneous but actully it is Heterogeneous.
4. Colloids are Big enough to scatter a Beam of Light passing through it and it’s path visible.
Tyndall Effect
The scattering of light by colloidal particles is know as Tyndall Effect
The Scattering of Light by Colloidal solution tell us that the colloidal particles are much Bigger than
the particles of true solution.
So a true solution can be distinguished from a colloidal solution by the fact that a true solution does
not scatter a Beam of light passing through it but a colloidal solution & scatters a beam of light
passing throught it.
Classification of Colloids
Colloids are classified according to the physical state of Dispersed phase (solute)
1. Sol:- Sol is a colloid in which tiny solid particles are dispersed in a liq medium.
Example: Soap solution, Milk of Magnesia, mud etc
2. Solid Sol:- Solid sol is a Colloid in which solid particles are dispersed in solid medium
Example: Colured gemstone (Ruby)
Milky glass.
3. Aerosol:- When solid or Liquid is dispersed in a gas.
Example: Smoke, Fog, Clouds, mist automobile
6. Gel:- Semi- solid colloid in which there is a continuous network of solid particles dispersed in a
liquid.
Example: Jellies, Hairgels.

Separation By Filtration
• The process of Removing insoluble solids from a liquid by using a filter paper is known as
Filtration.
• Filtration is used for separation insoluble substances from liquid.
a) A mixture of Sand and Water can also be Separated by filtration.
b) Sparation of used tea – leaves from prepared tea by the process of Filtration.
c) Water purification system in water works
i) The water from a River (Or lake) is pumped by the pumping station into a large reservoir
called sedimentation tank
ii) From sedimentation tank, water is sent tot
a loading tank; In loading tank some alum
is added to water and the suspended clay
particles in water get loaded with alum
particles, Become heavy and settle down at
the bottom of the tank.
APNI KAKSHA 8
Separation By Centrifugation
Centrifugation is a method for separating the suspended particles of a substances from a liquid in
which the mixture is rotated at a high speed in a centrifuge Machine
The principle is that the denser particles are forced to the Bottom and lighter particles stay at
the top when spun rapidly.
Applications
➢ Used in Diagnostic lasoratories for Blood and Urine test
➢ Used in dairies and Home to separate Butter from cream.
➢ Used un washing Machines to squeeze out water from wet cloths.
Separation By Evaporation
➢ The changing of liquid into vapours is called evaporation.
➢ Evaporation is used to separate a solid substance that has dissolved in water/any liquid.
1. Common salt dissolved in water can be separated by the process of evaporation.
2. We can obtain coloured component (dye) from Ink.
i) Fill Half a Beaker with water
ii) Put a watch glass on the Mouth of the Beaker
iii) Put a few drops of ink on the watch glass
iv) Now start Heating the Beaker, we do not want the Heat the ink directly, you
will see the evaporation is taking place the water glass
v) Continue Heating as the evaporation goes on and Stop Heating, when you do not see any
further change on the water glass
APNI KAKSHA 9
Separation By Extraction
A mixture of two immiscible liquid can be separated by using a separating funnel.
The Basic principle involve is the difference between the densities of two liquid form to separate
layer.
Steps of Separating Kerosene oil and water:-
1. Pour the mixture of Kerosene oil and water in separating Funnel.
2. Let it Stand undisturbed for sometime so that separate layers of oil and water are formed.
3. Open the stopcock of the separating funnel and pour out the lower layer of water carefully
Application
1. To separate mixture of oil and water
2. In the extraction of iron from it’s ore the lighter slag is removed from the top by this method to
leave the molten iron at the bottom in the furnance.
Separation By Crystallisation
The process of cooling a Hot, concentrated solution of a substance to obtain crystals called
crystallisation.
1. Used to remove impurities from solid and purify it.
2. It separate a pure solid from mixture in form of crystals.
3. This process is used in the purification of salt sea water.
Separation By Sublimation
1. This process is used to separate mixture that contain a sublimable volatile component from a
Non-Sublimable impurity
2. Sublimation is process where a substance directly changes from solid to gaseous state on
Heating.
APNI KAKSHA 10
3. Ammonium chloride, Camphor, Naphthalene, Anthracene are some examples, which can
sublime easily.
Chromatography
1. Used to separate those solute, which dissolve in the same solvent.
2. Used for separation of colours.
3. The colours which are more soluble in water rises faster and colours get separated into layers.
Application
To separate
1) Colours in a dye
2) Pigments from Natural Colours.
3) Drugs from Blood
Separation By Distillation
Distillation is used for separation of a mixture containing two miscible liquids that Boils without
decomposition and have sufficient difference in their Boiling points.
Example: Mixture of Acetone and Water is separated by this method.
APNI KAKSHA 11
Distillation is the process of Heating a liquid to form vapour and then cooling the vapour to get
liquid Balk.
Separation By Fractional Distillation
• Fractional distillation is the process of Separating two (or more) miscible liquid by
Distillation, for which the difference in Boiling point is less than 25K
• For fractional, distillation, a tube packed with glass beads are used (known as fractional
Column) is used
• Beads provide surface for the vapours to cool and condense Repeatedly.
Example: We can separate mixture of Alcohol and Water by Fractional distillation
• Boiling point of Alcohol in 78oC and the Boiling point of water is 100oC, and the gap
between the two liquids are 22oC
APNI KAKSHA 12
Application of Fractional Distillation
1. Fractional Distillation is used to separate mixture of miscible liquid.
2. Fractional Distillation is used to separate crude oil “Petroleum”
3. Fractional distillation (of liquid air) is used to separate gases of the air.
• Major component of Air is Nitrogn, and Second major component of Air is Oxygen.
• The various gases of Air are Separated from one Another by the fractional distillation of
liquid Air.
• Liquid Air is an extremely cold liquid
• Liquid Air contains all the components of gases in the liquid form.
1. Air is first filtered to remove dust then water vapours and carbondioxide are removed.
2. Air is compressed to a High pressure and then cooled, Ultimately, the Air get so cold that it turn
into liquid.
3. The liquid Air is Fed into a tall fractional Distillation Coloumn
4. Liquid Nitrogen (present in liquid air) has lowest boiling point of −196°𝐶, so on warming liquid
nitrogen boils first to form nitrogen
5. Liquid oxygen has higher boiling point so, liquid oxygen boils of the last.
APNI KAKSHA 13
Separation By a Magnet
Iron is attracted by a magnet.
This property of Iron is used to separate it from mixture. So, if a mixture contains iron as one of the
constituents, it can be separated by using magnet.
