Matter
Pure substance and mixture
Pure substance
Has definite and constant composition
Element
Compound
Mixture
A combination of pure substances that retain their individual properties
Homogenous
Heterogenous
Element
All atoms have the same number of protons
Compound
A fixed ratio of differing atoms
Homogenous
Uniform composition
Heterogenous
Non-uniform composition
Changes of state
Endothermic
Exothermic
Endothermic
Heat (kinetic energy) is added - particles move faster
Exothermic
Heat (kinetic energy) is removed - particles move slower
Solid -> liquid
Melting - vibrate faster
Liquid -> gas
Vaporisation - rotate faster
Gas heat further
Translate faster
Solid -> gas
Sublimation
Gas -> solid
Deposition
Gas -> liquid
Condensation
Liquid -> solid
Freezing
Solution
Solute + solvent
Methods of separating mixtures
Solvation
Filtration
Crystallisation
Chromatography
Distillation
Solvation
Separating particles based on their solubility in different solvents
Filtration
Separating particles based on size using a membrane
Crystallisation
Separating particles based on their ease of evaporation
Chromatography
Separating by the particle’s different affinities for the mobile phase (solvent) or stationary phase (paper)
Distillation
Separating particles based on differences in boiling points
