L2 - CLASSIFICATION OF MATTER Flashcards
It is a matter that has a distinct property and
a definite and constant chemical
composition.
Pure Substance
It is a substance composed of two or more
elements, so they contain two or more kinds of
atoms.
Compounds
It is a substance that cannot be decomposed or
separated into simpler substance by any
means.
element
a compound that is a combination of
carbon and one or more other element.
Organic Compound
a compound that is made up of other
elements except carbon.
Inorganic Compound
A combination of two or more substances in
which each substance retains its own
chemical identity and, hence its own
chemical properties.
Mixtures
These are uniform in phase. Its components
have similar properties.
Homogenous Mixture
It has components that do not have unique
properties. It is a combination of different
components with different properties.
Heterogenous
one substance is divided and
suspended into minute particles (1-1000
nanometers) and dispersed throughout a
second substance.
Colloids
It is a method of separating
the components or solutes of
a mixture by passing it
through a medium in which
the components move at
different rate.
Chromatography
a mixture where solid
particles do not dissolve in a liquid solution.
Suspension
It is a method of separating
mixtures with two or more
liquid components that have
different boiling points.
Distillation
The collected condensate from distillation is called
distillate
a separation of a mixture into fractions
if the boiling points of the components differ
by less than 25°C
Fractional Distillation
used if the difference in the boiling points is greater than 25°C.
