Is Matter Around Us Pure Class 9th
Is Matter Around Us Pure Class 9th
1. Introduction:
2. Pure Substances:
3. Mixtures:
4. Physical Changes:
a) Fixed Melting and Boiling Points: Pure substances have specific melting and boiling points.
b) Constant Composition: The composition of a pure substance remains the same throughout.
7. Mixtures:
a) Homogeneous Mixtures (Solution): Particles are evenly distributed, making them visually indistinguishable.
b) Heterogeneous Mixtures: Particles are not evenly distributed and can be seen separately.
8. Separation Techniques:
a) Physical Changes: Changes in physical properties without altering the composition of the substance.
1
b) Chemical Changes: Results in the formation of a new substance with different properties.

10. Types of Mixtures:
a) Colloids: Intermediate between solutions and suspensions. Particles do not settle and scatter light.
b) Suspensions: Large particles settle down upon standing.
a) Adulteration: Mixing impurities to increase the quantity and decrease the quality of a substance.
b) Effects: Can lead to health hazards and economic losses.
