What are the different categories you can classify a substance into
Pure, mixture, element, compound, homogenius, heterogenius
What is a pure substance`
A sample of matter that has definite chemical and physical properties [example, elements, atoms, molecules, compounds]
What is an element
A pure substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances by physical or chemical means [this is the purest pure substance]
What is a compound
A pure substance composed of two or more different elements joined by chemical bonds
- made of elements in a specific ratio that is always the same
- A chemical formula is included
- can only be separated by chemical means, not physical means
What is a mixture
A combination of two or more pure substances mixed together but not chemically combined
give features of a mixture
Substances how to get there by physical forces, not chemical
No chemical change takes place
Each item retains its properties in the mixture
They can be separated physically
What category is it if it is in the periodic table
Element
What category is it if it has a chemical name
Compound
What category is it if it has two compounds a one phase
A solution
What category is it if it has two compounds into phases
hetero mix
What is a physical property
Describes the physical appearance and description of a substance
What are the categories for physical properties
Boiling or condensation point Melting or freezing point Malleability Ductility Color State Solubility Crystal formation Conductivity
What is malleability
The ability to bent or rolled into sheets without Cumberland
What is ductility
The ability to be stretched
What is a chemical property
Describes the ability of a substance to change into a new substance
What are the categories of chemical properties
Ability to burn Flashpoint Behaviour in air Reaction in water Reaction to heating
What is flashpoint
The lowest temperature at which a flammable liquid will ignite in the air
What is behavior in the air
The tendency to degrade, react or tarnish
What is reaction in water
The tendency to corrode or dissolve in water
What is reaction to heating
The tendency to melt or decompose
What is a physical change
A change of state or form in which a new substance is not formed in you can get the original substance easily
What changes are involved in physical changes
Melting, boiling, evaporation and condensation, crystallization, dissolving
