Classifying Matter 1q770m1

1. The document discusses the classification of matter into elements, compounds, and mixtures. Elements contain only one type of atom and cannot be broken down further, while compounds contain two or more types of atoms chemically bonded together. Mixtures contain two or more substances that are not chemically combined and can be separated using physical means. 2. Elements are always uniform throughout and listed on the periodic table, while compounds have properties different from their component elements. Mixtures can be either uniform, called homogeneous solutions, or non-uniform, called heterogeneous mixtures. Compounds require a chemical reaction to separate, while mixtures can be separated physically or chemically. 3. The worksheet provides examples of various materials and asks the

Elements, Compounds & Mixtures Worksheet

Part 1: Read the following information on elements, compounds and mixtures. Fill in the
blanks where necessary.

Elements (pure substances):


1. A pure substance containing only one kind of ____________.
2. An element is always uniform all the way through (homogeneous).
3. An element _____________ be separated into simpler materials (except during nuclear
reactions).
4. Over 100 existing elements are listed and classified on the ____________________.

Compounds (pure substances):


5. A pure substance containing two or more kinds of _______________.
6. The atoms are _________________ combined in some way. Often times (but not
always) they come together to form groups of atoms called molecules.
7. A compound is always homogeneous (uniform).
8. Compounds ___________________ be separated by physical means. Separating a
compound requires a chemical reaction.
9. The properties of a compound are usually different than the properties of the elements
it contains.

Mixtures:
10. Two or more ________________ or _________________ NOT chemically combined.
11. No reaction between substances.
12. Mixtures can be uniform (called ________________________) and are known as
solutions.
13. Mixtures can also be non-uniform (called ________________________).
14. Mixtures can be separated into their components by chemical or physical means.
15. The properties of a mixture are similar to the properties of its components.
Chemistry: Classifying Matter

Classify each of the materials below. In the center column, state whether the material is a pure substance or a
mixture. If the material is a pure substance, further classify it as either an element or compound in the right
column. Similarly, if the material is a mixture, further classify it as homogeneous or heterogeneous in the right
column. Write the entire word in each space to earn full credit.
