This means that I know how elements are identified by using chemical symbols. 3. I can describe the characteristics of a compound. The means that I know the difference between a compound and other pure substances. 4. I can distinguish a pure substance from a mixture. This means that I know what makes them different.

Ch. 2 Learning Objectives 1. I can classify pure substances.
This means that I know the difference between an element and a
compound. 2. I can describe the characteristics of an element. This
means that I know how elements are identified by using chemical
symbols. 3. I can describe the characteristics of a compound. The
means that I know the difference between a compound and other pure
substances. 4. I can distinguish a pure substance from a mixture.
This means that I know what makes them different.
Slide 2
Learning Objectives Continued 5. I can classify mixtures. This
means that I know what a homogeneous and heterogeneous mixture is.
I also know what a solution, suspension, and colloid is. 6. I can
describe the physical properties of matter. This means that I know
what each property is and how we can identify them. 7. I can
describe how to separate a mixture. This means I can differentiate
between filtration and distillation. 8. I can describe the chemical
properties of matter. This means I can list the different
properties. 9. I can describe how to tell that a change has a
occurred. This means I can state the three ways to tell a change
has happened.

Section 2.1: Classifying Matter
Slide 4
Pure Substances Matter that always has exactly the same
composition is classified as a pure substance. Examples: salt and
sugar
Slide 5
**Every sample of a given substance has the same properties
because a substance has a fixed, uniform composition. Substances
are classified into two categories: elements and compounds.
Slide 6
Elements An element is a substance that cannot be broken down
into simpler substances. An atom is the smallest particle of an
element. **An element has a fixed composition because it contains
only 1 type of atom. No two elements contain the same type of
atom.
Slide 7
Examples of Elements Solid elements at room temperature
Aluminum carbon Gas elements at room temperature Oxygen Nitrogen
Liquid elements at room temperature Bromine Mercury
Slide 8
Symbols for Elements Jons Berzelius, a Swedish chemist,
suggested that chemists use symbols to represent elements.
Characteristics of symbols: 1 or 2 letters (First letter is always
capitalized) Still used on the periodic table today. Why is using
symbols important? So there is a universal symbol for all
languages.
Slide 9
Compounds Water is composed of the elements hydrogen and oxygen
Compounds Are made from two or more simpler substances that can be
broken down into those simpler substances. Always contain 2 or more
elements joined in a fixed proportion.
Slide 10
Mixtures **Properties can vary because the composition of a
mixture is not fixed. (this means the composition can change)
Slide 11
Mixtures In a heterogeneous mixture, the parts of the mixture
can be classified and noticeably different from one another.
Slide 12
Mixtures continued In a homogeneous mixture, substances are so
evenly distributed that it is difficult to distinguish one
substance from another in the mixture. Appears to be only one
substance.
Slide 13
Solutions, Suspensions, and Colloids Based on the size of its
largest particles a mixture can be classified as a solution, a
suspension, or a colloid
Slide 14
Solutions When substances dissolve and form a homogeneous
mixture, the mixture that forms is called a solution. Example:
sugar and water Liquid Solutions Do not separate Can not be
filtered Clear **The particles in a solution are too small to
settle out of the solution, be trapped by a filter, or scatter
light
Slide 15
Suspensions Is a heterogeneous mixture that separates into
layers over time. Example: sand and water Can a suspension be
filtered?
Slide 16
Colloids A colloid contains some particles that are
intermediate in between small particles in a solution and the
larger particles in a suspension. Do not separate into layers Can
not be filtered Examples: Fog
Slide 17
Slide 18
Physical Properties A physical property is any characteristic
of a material that can be observed or measured without changing the
composition of substances in a material.
Slide 19
Examples of Physical Properties Viscosity Conductivity
Malleability Hardness Melting point Boiling point Density
Slide 20
Viscosity The resistance to flow The greater the viscosity the
slower the liquid moves High viscosity liquids: honey, corn syrup
Low viscosity liquids: vinegar, water Viscosity will decrease when
the liquid is heated.
Slide 21
Conductivity Ability to allow heat to flow Materials with high
conductivity are called conductors. Example: Metals
Slide 22
Other Properties Malleability the ability of a solid to be
hammered without shattering. Hardness diamond is the hardest know
material Density is used to test purity of a substance Melting and
Boiling Points When a material has reached its melting point the
material changes from a solid to a liquid
Slide 23
Using Physical Properties How are physical properties used: To
identify a material To choose a material for a specific purpose To
separate substances into a mixture
Slide 24
Using Properties to Identify Materials What are the three steps
used to identify a material? Decide which properties to test Test
on the unknown sample Compare results with data for known materials
Why is identifying a material important? To solve crimes
Slide 25
Using Properties to Separate Mixtures What are the two
separation methods? Filtration- the process that separates
materials based on the size of the particles. Distillation- process
that separates the substances in a solution based on their boiling
points. Example: providing fresh water
Slide 26
Recognizing Physical Changes When does a physical change occur?
When some of the properties of a material change, but the
substances in the material stay the same. Two examples: ice melting
and hair styles
Slide 27
Slide 28
Observing Chemical Properties What is a chemical property? Any
ability to produce a change in the composition of matter. When can
a chemical property be observed? Only when the substances in a
sample of matter are changing into different substances.
Slide 29
What are the two examples of chemical properties? Flammability
materials ability to burn in the presence of oxygen Reactivity how
readily a substance combines chemically with other substances.
Oxygen is a highly reactive element and nitrogen has an extremely
low reactivity.
Slide 30
Recognizing Chemical Changes When does a chemical change occur?
When a substance reacts and forms one or more new substances.
Examples of a chemical change Baking a cake Ripening bananas Leaves
on a tree changing color
Slide 31
Evidence of a chemical change Change in color Production of gas
Formation of precipitate
Slide 32
Ask yourself Are different substances present after the change
takes place?
Slide 33
Key Point When matter undergoes a chemical change, the
composition of the matter changes. When matter undergoes a physical
change, the composition of the matter stays the same.
