Bonding Flashcards
matter split into
matter
pure substances:
•elements
•compounds
Mixtures:
•homogeneous - even
•heterogeneous - uneven
infomation on Pure substances
• Have a constant composition
• physical and chemical properties are fixed
•Can be seperated by chemical means not physical means
infomation on mixtures
•Two or more pure substances combined together
•Physical and chemical properties vary by composition
•Seperated by physical means
physical properties
Can be determined without changing the chemical composition of the substance eg melting and boiling points, electrical conductivity, density, hardness, etc
Chemical properties
Can be determined by changing the substance into a new substance eg flammability, reactivity with acid, reactivity with oxygen, inertness, etc
Name the 6 ways to seperate mixtures
- Sieving
- Filtration
- Evaporation
- Distillation
- Fractional Distillation
- Gravitational Separation
