Matter Make up Our

World
PLO: I CAN CLASSIFY AND DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THE TYPES
OF MATTER.
BIG IDEA:

The electron arrangement of

atoms impact their chemical
nature.

Essential Question: How do the electron

arrangements of atoms determine the chemical
and physical properties of elements and
compounds?
Last day

We did a textbook quest, where you were

introduced to the atomic theory.
Main concepts were:
All matter is made up of atoms
Atoms are made up of three particles:
electrons, protons, and neutrons.
Todaywe will learn about what
matters

Matter: anything that has mass and takes up space!

We are surrounded by matter and chemistry is the science of
matter.

Matter is divided into two categories:

Pure substance: matter that has a definite composition and
cannot be separated by physical means.
Mixture: a blend of two or more pure substances in which each
substance retains its individual properties; can be separated by
physical means.
Mixtures

Categorized into two:

Homogeneous mixtures: Also known as
solutions. It is mixed uniformly throughout and
you cannot see the components.
Heterogeneous mixtures: Made up of two or
more pure substances. Can physically see the
components.
Pure Substances

Categorized into two:

Elements:
Made up of just one type of atom
and cannot be broken down into simpler
substances.
Compounds:Made up of atoms of two or
more elements.
