    Classification of Matter

    Uploaded by

    Patrick Matthews
    This document outlines the classification of matter. It can be separated into pure substances and mixtures, with pure substances further divided into elements and compounds. Mixtures are either homogeneous, with components uniformly distributed, like steel which is a mixture of iron and carbon, or heterogeneous, where components are not uniform and have different properties in different areas, such as cereal and milk. Compounds consist of atoms bonded together in specific whole number ratios, while elements are made of atoms or molecules.

    Matter

    Heterogeneous
    can be separated into
    Homogeneous

    always

    Mixtures
    Pure Substances
    can be separated into

    Compounds
    Elements
    can be separated into

    Homogenous mixtures- components are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture e.g. steel (mixture
    between Iron and Carbon)

    Heterogeneous mixtures- a mixture where the components of the mixture are not uniform or have localized
    regions with different properties e.g. cereal and milk
    Compounds- atoms in fixed whole number ratios

    Elements- atoms and molecules
