    What is Matter?

    • Matter = anything that takes


    up space and has mass
    – Matter is either a substance
    or a mixture

    • Substance - all • Mixture – two or more


    particles in matter are substances physically
    identical (fixed combined (variable
    composition) composition)
    Two Types of Substances

    1. Element: simplest form


    of matter from which
    more complex
    substances are made
    (listed on the Periodic
    Table)
    – All the atoms that make up
    an element are alike
    – Ex. Helium
    Elements – a molecular look

    Elements can exist as:


    • Like Helium, Argon, and
    Neon that are stable as an
    individual atom
    • Like Oxygen, Nitrogen and
    Hydrogen that are stable
    as two atoms of
    themselves bonded
    together (O2, N2, H2)
    Two Types of Substances

    Ex. NaCl
    (Table Salt)
    2. Compound: two or
    more elements
    chemically combined
    in a fixed proportion
    – Can be broken down, but
    only by chemical reactions Ex. H2O
    – Have properties different (Water)
    than the elements that Ex. C6H12O6
    make them up (Sugar)
    Substances – a molecular look

    The difference between an element


    and a compound:

    Element: just 1 substance; the


    simplest form
    Ex. Oxygen (O2)
    Compound: 2 or more elements
    chemically combined
    Ex. Carbon dioxide (CO2)
    Two Types of Mixtures

    1. Homogeneous: components
    are evenly distributed out on a
    microscopic level
    – Solutions (when one substance
    is dissolved into another) are
    homogeneous mixtures
    – Usually appears “blended”
    – Ex. Bleach, lemonade, coffee
    Two Types of Mixtures

    2. Heterogeneous:
    substances in the
    mixture are not evenly
    spread out
    – Different components
    are easy to see, or
    separate out over time
    – Ex. Salad dressing,
    paint, cereal
    Mixtures – a molecular look

    The difference between a homogeneous vs. a heterogeneous


    mixture:
    Homogeneous: even Heterogeneous: uneven
    distribution; “same” distribution; “different”
    Ex. Salt water Ex. Salad dressing
