Melting and boiling points
only 1 element
mostly naturally occuring

properties of compounds
what is it made of?
how is it made?
what is the ratio of its constituent?
What are its properties like?
Melting and boiling points
2 or more elements that are chemically combined
from a chemical reaction
fixed ratio
diff properties from its constituent elements
fixed
properties of mixtures
what is it made of?
how is it made?
what is the ratio of its constituent?
What are its properties like?
Melting and boiling point
2 or more elements/co pounds NOT chemically combined
usually from physical mixing
similar properties to its constituent SUBSTANCES
over a range
ELEMENTS CAN APPEAR AS:
- ATOMS (not chemically bonded)
- molecules (covalenetly bonded)
- a lattice of positive ions with a sea of delocalised electons
seperation of compounds
chemical means
thermal decomposition - extreme heat
electrolysis - passing electric current through compound
seperation of mixtures
physical means
filtration, chromatography, etc.
little/no energy changed involved in separartion
mictures like alloys are note easily seperated and require large amounts of energy
