2. 3 KINDS OF MATTER
Elements
Compounds
Mixtures
3. Elements
All (living and nonliving) of the different
kinds of matter in the universe is made
from about 100 different substances,
called elements.
Elements are called the building blocks of
matter because all matter is composed of
elements.
Each element is made up of the same
type of atoms.
4. Compounds
A compound is a substance made of two or
more different kinds of elements chemically
combined in a specific ratio.
Each compound is represented by a formula that
uses symbols to identify which elements are
present.
A formula shows the ratio of elements in the
compound.
H2O – ratio of Hydrogen is 2:1 Oxygen
5. The symbols make up the formula. A
formula is just chemical shorthand for the
compound.
The subscript lets us know how many
atoms are present.
The coefficient lets us know how many
molecules are present.
7. Molecules
A molecule is formed when two or more
atoms join together chemically.
Diatomic molecules are made of two
atoms of the same element.
Hydrogen – H2
Oxygen – O2
8. What is the difference between a
compound and a molecule?
A molecule is formed when two or more
atoms join together chemically.
A compound is a molecule that contains at
least two different elements.
All compounds are molecules but not all
molecules are compounds.
9. Molecular hydrogen (H2), molecular
oxygen (O2) and molecular nitrogen (N2)
are not compounds because each is
composed of a single element.
Water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) and
methane (CH4) are compounds because
each is made from more than one
element.
10. Molecule
The smallest bit of each of these
substances would be referred to as a
molecule. For example, a single molecule
of molecular hydrogen is made from two
atoms of hydrogen.
A single molecule of water is made from
two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of
oxygen.
11. Mixtures
Most matter in the
universe is found in
mixtures.
A mixture is made
from two or more
substances either
elements, compounds
or both - that are not
chemically combined.
12. Mixtures and
compounds differ
in two ways…
Substances in a mixture keep
their individual properties.
Parts of a mixture are not
necessarily present in specific
ratios.
13. Compound
A compound has properties different than
the elements that make it up.
The parts of a compound are present in
specific ratio’s.
14. Compounds and Mixtures
Most of the matter around you is in the
form of compounds or mixtures.
Water, carbon dioxide, salt, vinegar,
baking soda, lye, sugar, gasoline, and
bleach are all chemical compounds.
15. Heterogeneous Mixture
A mixture in which different materials can
be easily distinguished.
Pizza, dry soup, chex mix, trail mix are all
examples.
16. Solutions
Homogeneous mixture: is a substance in
which two or more substances are
uniformly spread out. For example salt
water.
Solution is another term for homogeneous
mixture.
17. Solutions
Solute is the substance being dissolved.
Solvent is the substance that dissolves a
solute.
Solubility is the amount of a substance
(solute) that will dissolve in a solvent.
19. Colloids and Suspensions
A colloid is a heterogeneous mixture that
like a solution never settles. Milk and
smoke are examples.
One way to tell a colloid from a solution is
because milk is appears white because its
particles scatter light. Called the Tyndall
Effect.

In a colloid the
particles are mixed
together but not
dissolved.
The particles are
relatively large and
are kept permanently
suspended.
21. Colloids
A colloid will not
separate upon
standing.
The particles are
constantly colliding,
and this allows a
colloid to scatter light
– thus colloids often
seem cloudy.

23. suspension
A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture
containing a liquid in which visible
particles settle.
River water
24. Kinetic theory of matter
The idea that all matter is made up of
constantly moving tiny particles.
