A Great Combination
How can matter be classified?
• Matter is made up of basic “ingredients” known as
atoms.
• An atom is the smallest unit of an element that
maintains the properties of that element.
• Substances are classified as elements, compounds,
and mixtures.
Basic ingredients
of all “stuff”
Substances are
classified as:
Matter
Elements
Compounds
Mixtures

How can matter be classified?
• An atom is a building block of
matter
• An element is made of only one
kind of atom.
•A compound is made up of different kinds of
atoms that are chemically combined.
•A mixture contains a variety of elements
and compounds that are not chemically
combined.

How can matter be classified?
• Is water an element, a compound, or a mixture?

What are pure substances?
• A pure substance is a substance with definite physical and
chemical properties.
• Pure substances are made up of just one type of particle.
• Examples: Elements and compounds
• Physical changes such as melting, freezing, cutting, or
smashing do not change the identity of pure
substances.
• When a pure substance undergoes a chemical change, it
is no longer that same substance.
11) Identify
The chemical bonds that hold the atoms together are
broken. A new substance is formed

8) Identify: A) Copper ATOMS B) Water Molecules
9) Explain:
Atoms that make
up copper are all
the same type
10) Explain:
Water is made up of two
different types of atoms
that are joined together.
The molecules that make
up water are all the same

Classified Information
How can elements be classified?
• Elements are classified as metals, nonmetals, or
metalloids.
• Metals: shiny, conduct
electricity, malleable, ductile
• Nonmetals: not shiny, do
not conduct electricity or
heat.
• Metalloids: have properties
of both
• Classifying elements helps scientists predict the
properties of elements.
• The periodic table is a tool used to classify and
identify elements that have similar properties.

How can compounds be classified?
• Compounds can be classified as acidic, basic, or
neutral by measuring pH.
• Pure water (Neutral) has a pH of 7
• Acids have a pH below 7.
• Blue litmus paper turns red in the presence of an acid.
• Bases have a pH above 7.
• Red litmus paper turns blue in the presence of a base.
- Describing Acids and Bases
Properties of Acids and Bases
Litmus is an example of an indicator, a
compound that changes color when in
contact with an acid or a base.

How can compounds be classified?
• Compounds can be organic or inorganic.
• Organic compounds are those that contain carbon and
hydrogen.
• Organic compounds made by living things are
called biochemicals.
• Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic
acids are biochemical compounds.

Mix and Match
P58
What are mixtures?
• A mixture is a combination of two or more
substances that are combined physically
but not chemically.
• Mixtures are not pure substances and do
not have definite properties.
• Substances within a mixture keep their
identities and individual properties.
• Mixtures can be separated by physical
changes, although some mixtures are
difficult to separate.
•Magnets, centrifuges, filters, and
other materials can be used to
separate mixtures.

salt are poured
into a single
beaker. The
result is a
mixture
because
B) When water
is added to the
sand-salt
mixture,

in water. Sand
does not.

Simple Solution
How can mixtures be classified?
•A heterogeneous
mixture is one that
does not have a
uniform composition.
• A homogeneous
mixture has the same
composition throughout.

How can mixtures be classified?
P60
• A suspension is a heterogeneous
mixture.
• Particles in a suspension are spread
throughout a liquid or gas, but are
too large to stay mixed unless
shaken or stirred.
• Particles settle in suspensions.
• A solution is a homogeneous
mixture in which one substance is
dissolved in another substance.
• Colloids have particles that are
unevenly spread throughout the
mixture. (looks homogenous but
really heterogeneous)
• particles in colloids are too small to
settle out of the mixture.
