● Slide 3: What are the three states of matter that are important in Chemistry? What
are the major characteristics of solids?
The three states of matter that are important in chemistry are solid, liquid and gas
The major characteristics of solids are: particles are packed tightly together in an
organized matter, usually dense, incompressible, and do not flow.
The major characteristics of liquids are: have a definite volume and have the ability
to flow
The major characteristics of gases are: particles move rapidly and independent, fill
the container they are in, and have the ability to flow
● Slide 6: What are the major differences in pure substances and mixtures?
Pure substances: Always has the same composition and intensive (internal)
properties (boiling point, density, freezing point, temperature)
- Since a pure substance has a fixed composition, you can write a formula for it
Mixtures: A mixture has a variable composition therefore there is not one ONE
formula for it
Elements: Has the same kind of atoms, like carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen.
● Slide 10: What are the 2 major types of mixtures and how are they different from
each other?
- All mixtures that are not solutions are heterogenous (fruit cocktail, salad,
orange juice, soil, a sandwich, jelly beans, soup)
● Slides 12 and 13: Classify the following:
Ex. Size, Shape, Color, Boiling point, Freezing point, Hardness, Conductivity
Density is a physical property because it does not associate with change to chemical
composition
