Chemistry: Matter Around Us Pure

Introduction

  • Start of the Discussion: Will be explained based on the chemical properties of matter.
  • Pure Substance: Pure is that which has no impurity. Example: Gold, Oxygen, Hydrogen.
  • Introduction of the Lecturer: Ananya, Chemistry Teacher

Objective of the Chapter

  • One Shot Revision: Revision from the start to the end of the chapter.
  • Classification: Matter will be divided into pure and impure substances.

Types of Matter

Pure Substances:

  • Classification: Can be classified into elements and compounds.
  • Elements: Made of only one type of particle.
    • Example: Gold (gold particles), Oxygen (oxygen particles)
  • Compounds: Made of two or more elements.
    • Example: Water (H₂O)

Impure Substances:

  • Mixture: Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Mixture
    • Homogeneous: Mixed uniformly, cannot be separated.
    • Heterogeneous: Mixed non-uniformly, can be separated.

Classification of Elements

  • Metals: Lustrous, ductile, good conductors (Copper)
  • Non-metals: Good insulators (Carbon)
  • Metalloids: Properties between metals and non-metals

Characteristics of Matter

  • Difference between Pure and Impure: Cannot be separated by chemical reaction.
  • Example of Pure Substance: Gold, Water, Oxygen

Solutions, Suspensions, and Colloids

  • Solution: Homogeneous mixture; particle size is very small.
  • Suspension: Heterogeneous; particles are large and unstable.
  • Colloids: Appear homogeneous, but are heterogeneous

Tyndall Effect

  • What it is: Scattering of light when it falls on particles.
  • Colloids and Suspensions: Show it, but not solutions.

Concentration of Solution

  • Mass-by-mass Percentage: Mass of solute/mass of solution × 100

Physical and Chemical Changes

  • Physical Change: Nothing new is formed.
    • Example: Melting of ice
  • Chemical Change: New things are formed.
    • Example: Burning of wood

Practice Questions

  • Strengthening concepts through questions.

Conclusion

  • Summary of the Entire Chapter: Strengthen concepts through revision and practice questions.
