Matter is anything that has mass
and takes up space.
1.
All matter is made up of extremely
small particles
2. All particles of one substance are the
same. Different substances are made
of different particles.
3. There are spaces between the particles.
4. The particles are always moving. The
more energy that particles have, the
faster they move.
5. There are attractive forces among particles.
These forces are stronger when the particles
are closer together.
particles far apart – force weak
particles close together – force strong

MATTER
anything that has mass and
takes up space (eg. desk, ppl)
Pure substances
all “particles that make up the
substance are the same (eg.
water)
Elements
cannot be
broken down
into simpler
substances
(eg. carbon,
oxygen)
Compounds
contain 2 or
more elements
in a fixed
proportion
(eg. H2O, CO2)
Mixture
contains 2 or more substances
(eg. pizza, fruit punch)
Homogenous
mixture
(solution)
contains one
visible
component
(eg. tea,
vinegar, fruit
punch)
Heterogenous
(mechanical)
mixture
Contains more
than one visible
component
(eg. Italian salad
dressing, raisin
bran)
