Pure substances Flashcards
Matter may be classified according to their
State or Phase
observable even without
changing the composition of matter
Physical Properties
observed once a
material undergoes a chemical reaction
chemical properties
matter have a fixed or definite composition
Pure substances
combinations of two or more substances
Mixtures
a useful tool that can help in identifying elements that exhibit
Periodic table of elements
made up of a specific number of atoms or groups of atoms that
are combined through a chemical reaction
Pure substances
the simplest form of matter
● made up of only one kind of atom
● elements of different kinds also differ in
the atoms that make them up
Element
Two types of Pure substances
Elements and Compounds
___ elements known to exist arranged in the periodic table of
elements. __ are naturally occurring , while __ are synthetic
118, 94, 24
The periodic table classifies elements into 3 categories
Metals, non-metals, Metalloids
leftmost of the periodic table
Metals
rightmost of the periodic table
Nonmetals
staircase-like line between metals and
nonmetals
Metalloids
the only metal that is
liquid at room temperature
Mercury
● general properties:
○ solid at room temperature
○ lustrous
○ malleable
○ ductile
○ heat/electricity conductors
Metals
general properties:
○ opposite of metals
○ gaseous or dull solids
○ poor conductors of heat and electricity
Nonmetals
the only nonmetal that exists in liquid
form at room temperature.
Bromine
exhibit properties of both metals
and nonmetal
● conducts heat and electricity but not
as good as how metals act as
conductors
● semiconductors
Metalloids
composed of two or more
different elements that are
combined in a fixed ratio
by a chemical reaction
Compounds
Bonus
The properties of elements that make up a compound are
different from the properties of the compound formed.
Examples of Metalloid
Silicon and germanium
Classifications of Compound
Organic and inorganic compounds
consist of two or more pure
substances that are combined
physically
Mixtures
