
Classifying Matter
There is many ways in Chemistry to classify matter
Classifying matter according to States of Matter: Solids/Liquids/Gases
1. Complete the pictures below to show the attractive forces between particles.

Gases
2. Complete the chart

Describe
Volume
Example
Liquids
Gases
Plasmas
Bose-Einstein
Condensates
3. Use the following information to answer the following true/false questions.
- Each of these states of matter is also known as a phase.
- Elements and compounds can move from one phase to another phase
when certain physical forces are present (I.e. Temperature, pressure, etc.)
- In general, as the temperature rises, matter moves to a more active state.
- If energy is added (like increasing the temperature or increasing
pressure) or if energy is taken away (like freezing or decreasing pressure)
a physical change is created. The substance is still the same substance.
True/False?
Questions
a) Solids are considered to be the densest state of matter.
b) Because electrons have been stripped away from atoms
in plasma, plasmas are negatively charged.
c) The freezing point will always be a lower temperature
than the boiling point (with constant pressure).
d) A system that changes from a solid state to a liquid
state gains energy.
e) As a pressure of a system changes, boiling points can
either increase or decrease.
f) If the pressure of a system decreases, the rate of
evaporation will increase.
g) Sublimation is a phase change from a gas to a liquid.
h) Evaporation is a phase change from a solid to a gas.
i) Particles at a higher temperature move faster on
average than particles at a lower temperature.
j) Boiling water is an example of a chemical change.


Classifying matter according to Mixtures and Pure Substances
5. Use the handout “Classification of Matter” to answer the following questions.
True/False
Questions
a) Elements and compounds are pure substances.
b) Another name for a heterogeneous mixture is a solution.
c) If the particles within a substance are uniformly scattered,
the mixture is heterogeneous
d) A colloid is a heterogeneous mixture.
e) Emulsions are types of colloids in which liquids are
dispersed in liquids.
f) A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture made of large
particles that are uniformly mixed but will settle if left
undisturbed.
g) Salt dissolved in water is an example of a pure substance.
h) Solutions are usually clear if they are liquids and cannot be
filtered to separate the particles.
i) Light can be seen when you shine a flashlight in a solution.
j) NaCl and H2O are examples of pure substances.

Classifying matter according to Chemical Families
There are 4 Chemical Families (discussed in Grade 9).
Chemical families are used to describe a group of related elements/pure
substances that have similar properties. They also tend to react similarly.
6. Fill in the missing spaces in the chart.

Classifying Matter according to Ionic Compounds & Molecular Compounds
7. Define the following:
a) Molecular compounds: ______________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________
b) Ionic compounds: ___________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________
8. Use the definitions above to determine if the following compounds are
molecular (M) or Ionic (I). You can also use the Periodic Table (See p. 440)
Molecular (M) or Ionic (I)
Compound
NaCl
CO2
MgO
NH3
CH4
FeCl2
H2O2
CO
NaOH
O2
Read the following information to help name the compounds below.
Naming Molecular Binary Compounds (contains two elements)
 Write the entire name of the first element.
 Change the ending on the name of the second element to –ide.
 Use a prefix to indicate the number of each type of atom in the formula:
mono- for one (The prefix mono- is used only for the second element)
difor two
trifor three
tetra- for four
For example, if you wanted to name the molecular compound CO2:
 Write the entire name of the first element
→ Carbon
 Change the ending on the name of the second element (oxygen) to end
with –ide → oxide
 There is only one carbon atom, so there is no change.
There are two oxygen atoms, so add the pre-fix di- → dioxide
So the name for the molecular compound CO2 is:
Carbon dioxide
9. Name the following molecular compounds using the above information.
Compounds
Chemical name
CO2(g)
NH3(g)
H2O(l)
SO2(g)
SiO2(s)
CCl4(l)
Read the following information to help name the compounds below.
Naming Bionic Ionic Compounds (Contains two elements)
 The name includes both elements in the compound, with the name of the
metallic element first.
 The non-metallic element is the second. Its ending changes to –ide.
 Subscripts indicate the ratio of ions in the compound.
For example, if you wanted to name the ionic compound CaCl2:
 Ca stands for Calcium, and Cl stands for chlorine. The metallic element is
Calcium, so it goes first.
→ Calcium
 The non-metallic element is chlorine, so it goes second.
Change chlorine’s ending to –ide.
→ chloride
So the name for the ionic compound CaCl2 is:
Calcium chloride
10. Name the following ionic compounds using the above information.
Compounds
NaCl(s)
MgO(s)
ZnS(s)
LiCl(s)
CaCl2(s)
LiF(s)
Chemical name
