Review: Particle Theory of Matter

1. All matter is made up of tiny particles.
2. These particles are always moving... they have
energy
3. There are spaces among particles.
4. There are attractive forces between the particles.
5. The particles of one substance differ from the
particles of other

Mini-Partner Activity 1
Together think of examples for each, then
answer the following 2 questions.
Pure Substance

Mixture

1. How would you tell the difference

between a pure substance and a mixture?

1. How would you tell the difference

between a pure substance and a mixture?
__See (the properties) if you can see
the different parts, (different states,
different_ colour, texture, etc). A
pure substance should be the
samethroughout____________

2. How would use the Particle Theory of

Matter to support your answer to question
#1?

2. How would use the Particle Theory of

Matter to support your answer to question
#1?

___A pure substance has its own kind

of particle, that are different than___
other substances particles. That____
means it should have the same____
properties throughout___________

Mixtures Vs. Pure Substances

How many visible Parts?

Mixtures

Pure Substances

May have more

Have ONLY one
than one visible part visible part
(not always - think
salt/sugar water)

Mixtures Vs. Pure Substances

Uniform Througout?

Mixtures

Pure Substances

MAY appear
ALWAYS appear as
uniform throughout. uniform throughout

Mixtures Vs. Pure Substances

Definition?

Mixtures
They are the
physical
combination of two
or more pure
substances.

Pure Substances
They contain either
a single particle or
two or more atoms
chemically
combined to form a
different substance.

Mixtures Vs. Pure Substances

Examples

Mixtures
salt water,
kool-aid
chocolate chip
cookie
muddy water
salad dressing
air

Pure Substances
sugar (C12H22O11)
gold (Au),
copper (Cu)
distilled water (H2O)
carbon dioxide (CO2)
oxygen (O2)

Drawing of Particles

Mixtures

Pure Substances

*Can be this, just as long as all

the particles are the same
throughout

Mini-Partner Activity 2

Make a list of 15-20 solutions and
mixtures that you encounter in a day.

How does
light pass?

Homogeneous

Heterogeneous

light passes
through

Light will reflect

Perpendicular

The Tyndall Effect

Light can be used to distinguish
between solutions and what
appears to be a solution
cannot be used to distinguish
between a solution and a pure
liquid

The Tyndall Effect

In a Solution/homogeneous:
Light passes unaffected
(looks at the beaker perpendicular to the
direction of the beam they will NOT see it)

The Tyndall Effect

In a Mechanical Mixture/heterogeneous:
The light will scatter as it passes through
the mixture because all particles are not
dissolved
(look perpendicular to direction of the
beam and you WILL see it!)

Partner Activity

and heterogeneous mixtures in
your home.
