All of our Pure Substances & Mixtures unit resources will be posted here and broken down into 3 subunits; Classifying matter, Solutions, and Separating Mixtures. We will also be learning about atoms and the periodic table of elements.

Lesson 1: Classifying Matter

1.1 – What is Matter?

1. Read the section 1.1, noting the definitions of Chemistry and Matter
2. Create a Google Doc, and answer questions #2 and 3 (Save this document to your Chemistry folder)

1.2 – More About Matter (After adding to your Chemistry folder, read and answer questions #1 -4)

1. Read the section 1.2
2. Answer questions #1 – 4 (Save this document to your Chemistry folder)

Lesson 2: Pure Substances vs. Mixtures

1.4 – Pure Substances and Mixtures (Read and answer questions #1, 3, and 4)

1.6 – Mechanical Mixtures and Solutions (Read and answer questions #1, 2, and 5)

Lesson 4: The Periodic Table of Elements

Some Key Concepts About Elements and their Atoms

• Atoms are made of extremely tiny particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons.
• Protons and neutrons are in the center of the atom, making up the nucleus.
• Electrons surround the nucleus.
• Protons have a positive charge.
• Electrons have a negative charge.
• The charge on the proton and electron are exactly the same size but opposite.
• Neutrons have no charge.
• Since opposite charges attract, protons and electrons attract each other.
