Matter: Occupies volume and space, particles in constant motion, has mass. Separation techniques:

  • Filtration
  • Dissolution - Solubility
  • Crystallization - Heat, cool down to turn into crystals
  • Evaporation
  • Distillation - Different boiling point
  • Paper chromatography - attraction to mobile phase

Categorization

Matter can be sorted into two categories, each of which can be separated into two more categories. Pure: Element, compounds Mixture: Homo and heterogenous

States

SolidLiquidGas
High intermolecular forces, particles closely packed. Fixed shape and fixed volume.Weaker intermolecular forces, particles more spaced. No fixed shape, but fixed volume.Intermolecular forces negligible, no fixed shape or volume.
