Elements Compounds Mixtures

The document discusses the differences between pure substances and mixtures. Pure substances, like elements and compounds, are made of identical particles and cannot be separated into simpler substances by physical means. Mixtures contain different kinds of particles that can be separated physically. Pure substances include elements made of atoms and compounds made of different elements chemically bonded together. Mixtures include homogeneous mixtures where the particles look the same and heterogeneous mixtures where the particles look different.

 Essential Questions:

 Are pure substances and mixtures BOTH

examples of matter?

 How are pure substances and mixtures alike?


How are they different?

 Classify as either a pure substance or a


mixture: compound, element, homogenous,
heterogeneous.
 Matter is separated into two main classes:

 Mixtures- where particles are different


Homogenous- looks the same (salt water)
Heterogeneous- looks different (candy mix)

 Pure substances- where all particles are alike


◦ Example, elements and compounds
 Pure substance
 consists of only one kind of atom,
 cannot be broken down into a simpler type of

matter by either physical or chemical means,


and
 can exist as either atoms (e.g. argon)
 or molecules (e.g., nitrogen).
 A molecule consists of two or more atoms of
the same element, or different elements, that
are chemically bound together.

 Note that the two nitrogen atoms which


comprise a nitrogen molecule move as a unit.
This is
H2O-
Water!
 consists of atoms of two or more different
elements bound together,

 can be broken down into a simpler type of


matter (elements) by chemical means (but not
by physical means)
 has properties that are different from its
component elements

 always contains the same ratio of its


component atoms.

 Microscopic view of the molecules of the


compound water (gas phase). Oxygen atoms
are red and hydrogen atoms are white.
Heterogeneous-
particles look
different
Homogenous-
particles look the
same throughout

Example: salt
water
 consists of two or more different elements
and/or compounds physically intermingled

 can be separated into its components by


physical means

 often retains many of the properties of its


components.
 Microscopic view of a gaseous mixture
containing two elements (argon and nitrogen)
and a compound (water).
 Let’slook at some examples
of elements, compounds and
mixtures:
