Chapter 15 – Classification of Matter
 Be able to classify matter as an element, compound, heterogeneous mixture,
homogeneous mixture, solution, colloid, or suspension.
 Be able to classify properties as either chemical properties or as physical
properties.
 Be able to classify changes as chemical changes or physical changes.
 Know the name, atomic number, and symbol for elements 1 – 20.
 What is the Tyndall effect? How can it be used to distinguish b/w solutions,
colloids, and suspensions?
 On this chapter test, you had a set of 5 diagrams and you had to tell whether the
models represented a pure element, a pure compound, a mixture of 2 elements, a
mixture of 2 compounds, or a mixture of an element and a compound. This is on
the final exam.
Chapter 16 – States of Matter
 Know the 3 gas laws, their name, equation, what variable is constant and the
relationship b/w the variables in the equation.
 Know the 3 states of matter and their characteristics.
 Know the names for the changes of state and what happens during each change
(evaporation, condensation, melting, freezing, sublimation, deposition).
 Which changes of state are endothermic? Which changes of state are exothermic?
 What are the units of pressure?
 What is meant by heat of fusion? Heat of vaporization? Thermal expansion?
 Be able to work some problems involving the gas laws and identify the law you
are using to do the problem.
