What are the 4 phases of matter
Liquids
Gases
Solids
Plasmas
Pure substances may be
Elements
Compounds
Mixtures may be
Heterogeneous
Homogeneous
Elements contain
-Atoms of the same type
-cannot be separated into simpler substance by chemical means
Compounds contain
-2 or more different types of atoms
-cannot be separated into a simpler substance by any physical process
Heterogeneous mixture
A composition that varies throughout.
Ex: gravel
Homogeneous mixture
Has a uniform composition throughout.
Ex: sugar dissolved in water
Mixtures
A combination of 2 or more substances in which the substances retain their distinct identities
Classify if this is an element, compound, or mixture: carbon dioxide
Compound

Mixture
Physical property
Is one that can be observed and measured without changing the IDENTITY of a substance
Quantitative
Measured and expressed with a number
Qualitative
Not requiring explicit measurement
Physical change
The state of matter changes but the identity does not change.
Ex: ice melting to water
Chemical properties
After a chemical change, the original substance will become a new different substance. The change can not be reversed.
Ex: hydrogen gas burns in oxygen to form water
The measured value of an extensive property
Depends on the amount of matter
Ex: mass
The value of an intensive property
Does NOT depend on the amount of matter
Ex: density and temperature
