It is anything that occupies space and has mass
Matter
It refers to the amount of matter present in the material
Mass
Classifications of Matter
Element
Compound
Mixture
It is the simplest form of matter, 1 kind of material or atom
Element
Refers to substances composed of two or more elements united chemically in definite proportion
Compound
It is composed of 2 or more substances that are not chemicallv combined
Mixture
Colorless fluid part of blood, lymph, or milk in which corpuscles or fat globules are suspended
Plasma
- Amber- colored protein-rich liquid that separates out wen blood coagulates
- used to provide immunity
- Diagnostic agent
Serum
Classification of Mixture According to the Nature of Particles
Homogenous
Heterogenous
Classification of Mixture According to the Size of Particles
Solution
Suspension
Colloid
uniform mixture (homogenous), composed of solute and solvent where solute is soluble
Solution
Coarse Mixture, finely divided solid materials distributed in a liquid where solid is insol.
Suspension
particles of solute not broken down to the size of the molecules but are small enough to remain suspended and evenly dispersed throughout the medium
Colloid
difference in specific gravity or density
Decantation
evaporation and then condensation
Distillation
speeding up of settling process of a precipitate
Centrifugation
lowering of temp so that the more insoluble comp crystallizes out first
Fractional Crystallization
difference in solvent affinity
Chromatography
Properties of Matter
Intrinsic/Intensive
Extrinsic/Extensive
INDEPENDENT of mass or amount (density, specific gravity, melting point)
Intrinsic/Intensive
- DEPENDENT on mass (weight, volume, pressure, heat content)
Extrinsic/Extensive
change in phase
Physical Change
change in both intrinsic and extrinsic properties
Chemical Change
splitting of a heavy atom
Nuclear Fission
