Notes
• Complete p. 8 in your packet as you go through this review. You may use information from this slideshow, your additional notes, or the textbook.
Pure Substances• A sample of matter that has definite chemical
and physical properties.
Elements Atoms
CompoundsMolecules
Element
s
• pure substance that cannot be separated into simpler substance by physical or chemical means.
CompoundsPure substance composed of two or more
different elements joined by chemical bonds.
oMade of elements in a specific ratio that is always the sameoHas a chemical formulaoCan only be separated by chemical means, not physically
H2O
CO2
NaCl
Mixtures• A combination of two or more pure substances
that are not chemically combined.• substances held together by physical forces, not
chemical • No chemical change takes place • Each item retains its properties
in the mixture • They can be separated physically
Review• An element contains just one type of atom. • A compound contains two or more different
atoms joined together. • A mixture contains two or more different
substances that are only physically joined together, not chemically.o A mixture can contain both elements and compounds.o Mixtures can be either heterogeneous (suspensions) or
homogeneous (solutions)
• Now, let Tim and Moby help you along with your review. Click on the link below, watch the video, then try the quiz at the end!
