Elements, molecules , mixtures

• Matter

• anything that takes up space

• Chemistry

• Particles formed when two or more atoms bond

  together in specific geometric arrangements

• Atoms

• Composed of particles

• Molecules

• science that seeks to

  understand matter and its properties.

• matter

• Basic submicroscopic particles that constitute the

  fundamental building blocks of ordinary matter

classification of matter

• composition

• its physical

  form (e.g., solid, liquid,

  or gas) based on what

  properties it exhibits;

• state

• The state of matter changes

  from solid to liquid to gas

  with

• Increasing temperature

• Types of particles

Gas

• compressible

• free movement

• shape varies

• fixed volume

• Volume varies

matter

• pure substance

• by contrast, is a substance composed of two

  or more components in proportions that can vary from

  one sample to another.

• Pure substance and mixture

• The first division in the classification of matter is between

  a

• Mixture

• made up of only one component,

  and its composition is invariant.

.

• Element

• substance composed of two or more

  elements in fixed, definite proportions

• compound

• uniform mixture

• homogeneous

• Not uniform mixture

• heterogenous

• cannot be chemically

  broken down into simpler substances.

.

• Homogeneous

• one made of multiple

  substances, but it appears to be one substance.

• heterogeneous

• sand and water

• homogeneous

• All portions of a sample have the same composition and

  properties

• compound

• is one in which the

  composition varies from one region of the mixture to

  another.

• Heterogenous

• salt

match

• Scientific method

• Observations, verification of observations, and

  experimentation can lead scientists to formulate a

  hypothesis.

• falsifiable

• a good hypothesis is

• Hypothesis

• tentative interpretation or explanation

  of the observations.

• data

• Observations

• hypothesis

• process for understanding

  nature by observing nature and its behavior through

  experimentation.
