  • Pure substances are substances that consist of only one element or only one compound.
  • Formulations are mixtures designed with a specific purpose.
  • Chromatography can be used to separate a mixture of solutes.
  • Lab tests can be used to identify common gases.
  • Pure substances are used in chemistry in a different way from their everyday meaning.
  • A pure substance consists of only one element or only one compound.
  • A substance that consists of only one element or only one compound is used in chemistry in a different way from its everyday meaning.
  • Pure substances are not the same as substances that are not chemically changed.
  • A pure substance is a substance that consists of only one element or only one compound.
  • A substance made of one type of atom only or one compound is a pure substance.
  • A substance formed by the chemical union of two or more elements is a pure substance.

  • A compound contains two or more types of atom joined together.
  • A mixture contains two or more different substances that are not joined together.
  • The different substances in a mixture can be elements or compounds.
  • Pure substances have a sharp melting point.
  • The melting point of a pure substance is close to its boiling point.
  • Mixtures melt over a range of temperatures.
  • The temperature at which a solid changes into a liquid when it is heated is known as the melting point.
  • The process that occurs when a solid turns into a liquid when it is heated is known as melting.
  • When a pure substance changes state, the temperature stays the same.
  • An impure substance consists of more than one element or compound.
  • The temperature changes slightly as an impure substance changes state.
