Pure Substances

Element– composed of identical atoms– EX: copper wire, aluminum foil

Pure Substances

Compound

– composed of 2 or more elements in a fixed ratio

– properties differ from those of individual elements

– EX: table salt (NaCl)

Pure Substances

Law of Definite CompositionLaw of Definite Composition

– A given compound always contains the same, fixed ratio of elements.

Law of Multiple ProportionsLaw of Multiple Proportions

– Elements can combine in different ratios to form different compounds.

Pure Substances

For example…

Two different compounds, each has a definite composition.

Carbon, C Oxygen, O Carbon monoxide, CO

Carbon, C Oxygen, O Oxygen, O Carbon dioxide, CO2

Mixtures

Variable combination of two or more pure substances.

Heterogeneous Homogeneous

Mixtures

Solution– homogeneous– very small particles– no Tyndall effect Tyndall Effect

– particles don’t settle– EX: rubbing alcohol

Mixtures

Colloid– heterogeneous– medium-sized particles– Tyndall effect– particles don’t settle– EX: milk

Mixtures

Suspension– heterogeneous– large particles– Tyndall effect– particles settle– EX: fresh-squeezed

Compounds vs. Mixtures

• Compounds have properties that are uniquely different from the elements from which they are made. – A formula can always be written for a compound

– e.g. NaCl Na + Cl2

• Mixtures retain their individual properties.– e.g. Salt water is salty and wet
