Pure substance
cannot be seperated by physical means
Pure substances-
Elements and compounds
Simplest substances
Element
Element
contains only one type of atom
Each element can be identified by its…..
Physical and Chemical properties
Compounds
Contains 2 or more types of atoms in whole number ratios
A compound may be represented by..
A chemical formula
Chemical formula
the elements in the compound amd ratio of atoms
Mixture
made of two or more substances- elements,compounds, or both, that are not chemiclaly combined
Homogenous mixture
Substances are so evenly mixed that you can’t see the different parts
Example of homogeneous
Salt dissolved in water
Heterogenous mixture
You can see the different parts of the mixture
Can seperate mixutres by..
using magnetic attraction, filtration, distillation and evaporation
Suspension - example
Itlaian Dressing, ketchup, muddy water
Suspension
Very large particle size, usually settles down
Colloids
Medium size particles, need a mciroscope to see the particles
Example of colloids
Milk, cheese, whipped cream
tyndall effect
particles that scatter light
Homogenous mixture extra information
Tiniest particles, uniform appearance, doesn’t seperate out
Solute
the thing dissolving
Solvent
the liquid in which the solute dissolves in; the greater amount
Contains 2 or more types of atoms in whole number ratios
compounds
