Today you will will be studying matter and

how it is classified.
Please pick up a copy of the notes and turn
in your equipment assignment from
yesterday.
 Classify the following as matter and non-

 Chemistry is the study of matter and how
it changes.
What is matter?
Matter is anything that has mass and
occupies space
Mass is the amount of matter in an object
Light, sound, gravity and electricity examples
of non-matter
 Just like taxonomy in Biology, matter can be classified
according to its properties.

Different types of matter are classified in to different groups,

Mixtures and Pure substances.
Pure substance can be classified into compound and elements.
Mixture can be classified into homogenous and
heterogeneous mixtures.

Where matter is classified depends on whether it can be

physically separated and/or chemically separated.
 Elements
composed of
identical atoms

Sulfur (S) Bromine (Br) Carbon (C) Gold (Au)

composed of 2 or Compounds
more elements in a
fixed ratio
+ =
properties differ
from those of
individual elements Silicon Oxygen Quartz (Silicon Dioxide)
Heterogeneous Mixtures
Mixture that are not the same
from place to place. One material is
suspended, not dissolved within
another.
Homogeneous Mixtures
Same composition throughout because
particles of one substance are
dissolved in another (Solutions)
Brass (an alloy)
Made up of Copper and Zinc
 hetero-
uniform no geneous
properties?
