Revision Notes On Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry: Matter

The document discusses basic concepts in chemistry including matter, elements, compounds, and mixtures. Matter is anything that exhibits inertia and has mass. Elements are the simplest form of matter made of atoms and there are currently 118 known elements. Compounds are non-elemental substances formed by a chemical combination of elements in a fixed ratio. Mixtures are formed by a physical combination of substances that maintain their chemical identities when combined in any ratio, and can be either homogeneous or heterogeneous.

Revision Notes on Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry

Matter:
Anything that exhibits inertia is called matter.
The quantity of matter is its mass.
Classification of Matter:-
Based on chemical composition of various substances..

Elements:
It is the simplest form of the matter.
Smallest unit of an element is known as atom.
Total number of the known elements is 118 out of which 98 elements occur naturally and 20 are
formed by artificial transmutation.
Examples: Na, K, Mg. Al, Si, P, C, F, Br etc.
Compound:
It is a non-elemental pure compound.
Formed by chemical combination of two or more atoms of different elements in a fixed ratio.
Examples: H2O, CO2, C6H12O6 etc.
Mixture:
Formed by physical combination of two or more pure substances in any ratio.
Chemical identity of the pure components remains maintained in mixtures.
Homogeneous mixtures are those whose composition for each part remains constant.
Example, Aqueous and gaseous solution.
Heterogeneous mixtures are those whose composition may vary for each and every part.
Example, Soil and concrete mixtures.
