Chemical Property OR Physical Property
Why?
Changes of Matter
• Physical Changes:
 do not change the composition of a
substance.
• temperature, changes of state, amount, etc.
• Chemical Changes:
 result in new substances.
• combustion, oxidation, decomposition, etc.
Chemical Separation:
• Compounds can be decomposed
into elements.
Physical Separation:
Filtration: Separates heterogeneous
mixtures (solids from liquids).
Physical Separation:
Distillation: Separates solution by
boiling point differences.
Physical Separation:
Chromatography:
Separates homogeneous mixture by
differences in solubility (attractions).
Scientific Notation
Power of 10 is the number of places
the decimal has been moved.
Examples:
42000 = 4.2 x 104
0.0508 = 5.08 x 10–2
positive power: move decimal right 
to obtain the original # in standard notation.
negative power: move decimal left 
to obtain the original # in standard notation.

relative abundance of 7.50%, and
• lithium-7 (7.016 amu), which has a
relative abundance of 92.5%.
