Classification of Matter
Is phase a good way to classify
matter?
• Since water has 3 phases, it would be
classified as 3 different things. Must be a
better method.
Matter
• Can be divided into mixtures and pure
substances. A pure substance is made of
one kind of material having definite
properties.
• Guess which is a mixture and which is a
pure substance?
– Water, salt, sea water, concrete, alphabet
soup, air, soup, coffee, oxygen.
Mixture – Matter that consists of 2
or more substances mixed together
but not chemically combined.
Both of these are mixtures
Two Types of Mixtures
• Heterogeneous – A mixture that does not
appear to be the same throughout. The
“least-mixed of mixtures”.
• Examples:
Matter
Pure Substance Mixture
Heterogeneous Homogeneous
Element Compound Colloid Suspension Solution
Pure Substance
• Same properties throughout
• Example – water
• H 2O
Chemical formulas

• CO2
• H2SO4
