BUILDING BLOCKS OF MATTER
• Matter – Anything that takes up space and
has mass
• Mass – Measure of amount of matter
(grams)
• Atom – Smallest part of an element that
maintains the properties of that element
• Comes from Greek “átomos”, which means
“uncuttable” or “the smallest indivisible particle
of matter”
• Was coined in 450 BCE by Democritus
ATOMS

• Matter – Anything that takes up space and
has mass
• Mass – Measure of amount of matter
(grams)
• Atom – Smallest part of an element that
maintains the properties of that element
• Element – Pure substance with only one
type of atom
• Cannot be separated into a simpler substance

• Element – Pure substance with only one type of atom
• Compound – Pure substance, atoms of two or more
elements are chemically bonded
• Mixture – A combination of two or more pure
substances that are not chemically bonded
MIXTURES
• Heterogeneous Mixture:
• Components that make up the mixture are not uniform
• Rocks, oil and water, soup, pizza
• Homogenous Mixture:
• Components that make up the mixture are uniformly
distributed throughout
• Air, sugar water
CAN YOU IDENTIFY THE FOLLOWING?
You will be shown a series of photos. Tell if each
photo represents an item composed of an
element, compound, or mixture.
Review:
• An element contains just one type of atom.
• A compound contains two or more different
atoms joined together.
• A mixture contains two or more different
substances that are only physically joined
together, not chemically.
• A mixture can contain both elements and compounds.
