Review of Grade 9 Chemistry
Pure substance: A substance in which all particles making up the substance are the same.
An element is a pure substance that is made of atoms, and thus cannot be broken down
into simpler substances.
e.g., gold, carbon, hydrogen, etc. (see periodic table of elements)
A compound is a pure substance that is made of two or more atoms combined in a fixed
proportion.
e.g. H2O (is always 2 hydrogens and 1 oxygen)
e.g. CO2 (is always 1 carbon and 2 oxygens)
A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the particles are not uniformly scattered
and therefore have more than one phase. (e.g., oil and water, or trail mix)
Chemical property: a characteristic of a substance that describes its ability to react with other
substances (e.g., reaction with water; combustibility; toxicity; stability)
Physical change: involves a substance changing its physical properties. No new substances
are formed, and the change may be reversible. (e.g., freezing water,
dissolving salt in water)
Chemical change: involves a change in matter in which at least one new substance, having new
properties, is formed.
Types of Elements:
Metals Metalloids Non-metals
conduct electricity and properties of both metals poor conductors of
heat and non-metals electricity and heat
malleable adjacent to staircase line brittle
ductile on periodic table may be solid, gas, or liquid
usually solid at room (exception: Aluminum is (bromine) at room temp.
temperature (except a metal) right side of periodic table
mercury)
left side of periodic table
