Classification of Matter

This document provides definitions and examples to classify different types of matter: - Elements are pure substances made of only one type of atom, represented by one or two letter symbols where the first letter is uppercase and second lowercase if two letters. - Compounds are pure substances made of two or more chemically combined elements represented by a chemical formula. The elements always combine in definite proportions. - Mixtures are two or more substances physically combined. Homogeneous mixtures are uniformly mixed, like solutions. Heterogeneous mixtures are not uniformly mixed. Alloys are solid solutions of two or more metals. - Examples are then classified as elements, compounds, homogeneous mixtures/solutions, or heterogeneous mixtures.
