Classification of Matter: Material Pure Substance or Mixture Element, Compound, Homogeneous, Heterogeneous

This document discusses the classification of matter as either pure substances or mixtures. It defines mixtures as physical combinations of substances that retain their individual properties, while compounds are chemical combinations whose properties are distinct from the original substances. A mixture can be separated into its original substances using physical processes like filtration or evaporation, while compounds require chemical processes to break the chemical bonds between elements.

mixture?

Pure Substance Element, Compound,


Material
or Mixture Homogeneous, Heterogeneous
concrete
sugar + pure water
(C12H22O11 + H2O)
iron filings (Fe)

limestone (CaCO3)

orange juice (w/pulp)

Pacific Ocean

helium inside a balloon

aluminum (Al)

magnesium (Mg)

acetylene (C2H2)

tap water in a glass

soil

pure water (H2O)

chromium (Cr)

Chex mix
salt + pure water
(NaCl + H2O)
benzene (C6H6)

muddy water
brass

1. Compare a mixture and a compound. How are they alike?

2. Contrast a mixture and a compound. How are they different?


Chemistry Worksheet: Matter #1
3. A mixture (is/is not) a chemical combining of substances.

4. In a compound the (atoms/molecules) are (chemically/physically) combined so that the elements


that make up the compound (retain/lose) their identities and (do/do not) take on a new set of
properties.

5. The smallest identifiable unit of a compound is a(n) ___________,which is made up of


____________ which are chemically bonded.

6. True or False: A mixture is always made up of a combination of elements.

7. In a mixture, the substances (lose/retain) their identities.

8. In a mixture the substances involved (can/cannot) be separated by a simple physical process.

9. In a compound the elements involved (can/cannot) be separated by a simple physical process


because the elements are (physically combined/chemically bonded).

10. (True or False): An element can be broken down into a simpler substance.

11. The smallest identifiable unit of an element is a(n) ___________.

12. How can you tell if an substance is an element?

13. From the following list of substances, circle the ones that are ELEMENTS. (HINT: Periodic table?)

silver carbon dioxide wood alcohol chromium

water hydrogen carbon nitrogen

oxygen gold sugar

salt air sulfur

magnesium nickel aluminum

Think it through…
