Unit terms that you need to know:

Chemistry: thestudy of mater and its properties.

Matter: anything with mass that takes up space.

Pure Substance a substance with a definite chemical composition. Either an element (e.g. gold) or a compound (e.gNaCl).

Element:a pure substance that cannot be broken down into something simpler by chemical means. Elements are found on the Periodic Table of Elements

Molecule: electrically neutral group of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds. A molecule is also the smallest unit of a covalent compound possible (e.g., a single unit of water or H2O).

Compound: chemical combination of two or more elements in fixed proportions.

Mixture: physical blend of two or more pure substances.

Homogeneous mixture: has the same uniform appearance and composition throughout. The individual components are difficult to see (e.g. chocolate pudding). Many homogeneous mixtures are commonly referred to as solutions (salt water, sugar water, etc.). Other examples include white vinegar and olive oil.

Heterogeneous mixture: a mixture with a non-uniform composition (e.g., salad). The component parts remain separate from one another. Oil and water mixed together are an example.

Colloid: a type of homogeneous mixture in which the parts do not separate into layers like a suspension, but do not dissolve into each other like a solution (e.g. homogenized milk, shaving cream)

Suspension: a heterogeneous solution where particles are suspended and will fall as it sits and rests. For example, sand and water.

Solution: – a type of homogeneous mixture whose parts dissolve into each other (e.g salt and water)

Distillationseparation of a liquid mixture using heating and cooling.

Decantation: pouring off a lighter liquid in a settled mixtureor suspension (e.g. sand and water)

Electrolysis: separation of a compound using electricity (Water into hydrogen and oxygen gas)

[1] Classification of Matter Graphic Organizer:

Chemistry is the study of matter and its properties. Chemistry is important because the fruits of chemistry impact our daily lives in immeasurable ways. New medicines are designed by biochemists, agricultural chemists seek ways to increase the fertility of soil and increase crop yield, while materials chemists are synthesizing and designing the objects we use in everyday life. We are going to create a matter classification chart that organizes some information. Read the following and use it to fill in the graphic organizer on the next page. Include the term and definition with examples for each box. To get you started, write the word Matter in the first box with its definition given below. Don’t forget to include examples.

Matteris anything with mass that takes up space. Matter is every material object we see around us and it can be subdivided into two categories. Matter is either a pure substance or a mixture. A pure substance is something with a definite chemical composition. A pure substance is classified as either an element or a compound. An element is a pure substance that cannot be broken down into something simpler by chemical means. Elements are found on the Periodic Table of Elements and include things such as Gold (Au), Hydrogen (H) and Iron (Fe). A compound is a chemical combination of two or more elements in fixed proportions. Compounds include things such as water (H2O), ,table salt (NaCl), baking soda or sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and sugar (C12H22O11). It is easy to tell an element from a compound as elements always have only one capital letter (e.g. Li, Ne, C, F, Ar, etc.) whereas s compound must have more than one capital letter indicating multiple elements are present (CO2, NH3, H2O, etc.)

A mixture is a physical blend of two or more substances. Compounds like water are chemically bonded together (the hydrogen and oxygen atoms) but mixtures are just physically lumped together. A mixture will either be heterogeneous or homogeneous. A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture with a non-uniform composition (e.g., salad). The component parts remain separate from one another. You have a tomato here, a cucumber here and it’s all non-uniform. Lucky Charms is another good example. You have delicious marshmallows heterogeneously mixed with cat food. A homogenous mixture, on the other hand, has the same uniform appearance and composition throughout. The individual components are all but impossible to see with the naked eye (e.g. chocolate pudding, salt water, sugar water, milk). Homogenous mixtures can also be referred to as solutionsor colloids. A true solution has very small particles that fully dissolve (e,g, salt water, sugar water, etc.), cannot be filtered and won’t scatter light. A colloid has small but slightly larger particles than a solution. It is also difficult to filter a colloid. Examples of colloids include mayonnaise, flour and water, blood, milk, cream and so on. Other examples include white vinegar and olive oil. You can’t see the particles in a colloid but they do not fully dissolve into one another like in a true solution. Finally, a heterogeneous mixture can also be known as a suspension if you have large particles suspended in a liquid (e.g. sand and water). The two components will not dissolve but remain separate and eventually settle out from one another. In this example the sand will eventually settle and sink to the bottom of the container.

Watch the Following Video on How Aluminum is made and read the article below:

“The metallic element aluminum is the third most plentiful element in the earth's crust, comprising 8% of the planet's soil and rocks (oxygen and silicon make up 47% and 28%, respectively). In nature, aluminum is found only in chemical compounds with other elements such as sulphur, silicon, and oxygen. Pure, metallic aluminum can be economically produced only from aluminum oxide ore.

Metallic aluminum has many properties that make it useful in a wide range of applications. It is lightweight, strong, nonmagnetic, and nontoxic. It conducts heat and electricity and reflects heat and light. It is strong but easily workable, and it retains its strength under extreme cold without becoming brittle. The surface of aluminum quickly oxidizes to form an invisible barrier to corrosion. Furthermore, aluminum can easily and economically be recycled into new products.”
