Pure Substances and Mixtures

Or:
All one kind of stuff
AND
Different stuff put together
 What’s the diff?
Choose one of the pairs below:
•  milk vs. water
•  glass vs. steel

Write down as many Milk Water

differences as you can on a
scrap piece of paper.

Think of colour, transparency,

“heaviness”, hardness, and
strength.

 Matter
•  milk, water, glass and steel
are made of matter
•  matter is any material
that occupies space and has
mass
•  it includes all solids,
liquids and gases
•  characteristics used to
describe matter are
properties
 Properties
Qualitative – properties you Quantitative – properties you
can sense can count
•  see, smell, touch, taste •  length, weight, time

It’s  brown,   Well,  there  are  

and  tastes   3  bars,  6  
pieces  in  each,  
milky  and  
about  240  
rich…    
grams…

Your Turn!

 Hetero vs. Homo
•  you can see the properties of the
different types of matter in a
heterogeneous mixture
•  different samples from a
heterogeneous mixture may have a
different makeup

•  in a homogeneous mixture, you

cannot see the difference between the
types of matter
•  different samples from a homogeneous
mixture look exactly the same
 particle
Particle Theory Part 1
1.  all matter is made up of extremely
tiny particles

2.  each pure substance has its own

kind of particle, different from the
particles of other pure substances

Pure Substance
•  amaterial made up of only one kind
of extremely small particle
•  extremely small means:
• 1 700 000 000 000 000 000 000 (1.7
quadrillion) particles in a drop of water
on your fingertip!!!
