Essential How do chemists
Question: classify matter?
[Link]
❏ 2.1: I can classify matter by their
physical or chemical properties.
❏ 2.2: I can classify a change as
physical or chemical.
❏ 2.3: I can describe the four states of
matter.
❏ 2.4: I can compare and contrast
Learning Goals
pure substances and mixtures.
❏ 2.5: I can describe various
separation techniques and when
[Link]
they should be used.
What is matter?

Anything that has
Matter: mass & takes up

4 States of Matter
[Link]
Solids
● Definite shape &
volume
● Tightly packed
[Link]
Liquids
● Flows
● Definite volume
● Takes the shape of its
container
[Link]
Gas
● Flows
● Indefinite volume
● Fills entire space of its
container
[Link]
Plasmas
● Particles become
ionized (break
into smaller
charged particles)
● Requires energy

Law of Conservation
of Mass
[Link]
Law: mass cannot be created or destroyed in a
chemical reaction.
● Mass of reactants = mass of products
● Wax + oxygen → CO2 + H2O

Separation of Mixtures
Techniques
● Filtration (solid/liquid)
● Distillation (different boiling
points)
● Chromatography (different
size/charge)
[Link]
● Centrifugation (density difference)
