  • Pure Substance
    Has distinct properties and fixed composition
  • Pure Substance
    They can be separated (compound) by chemical process.
  • Element
    Composed of only one kind of atom.
  • Element
    It cannot be decomposed into simple substances.
  • Compound
    Substance composed of two/more kinds of atom chemically combined.
  • Mixture
    A combination of two or more pure substances.
  • Mixture has variable composition.
  • Mixture can be separated by physical process
  • Each substance in a mixture retains its chemical identity and properties.
  • Homogenous
    Mixture that is uniformly distributed.
  • Homogenous
    Same composition of particles throughout.
  • Homogenous is a one phase.
  • Heterogenous
    Mixture that is not uniformly distributed.
  • Heterogenous
    Different composition of particles throughout.
  • Heterogenous composed of two or more phases.
  • Evaporation
    The process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas or vapor.
  • Distillation
    The process of separating components of a mixture with different boiling points
  • Decantation
    The process of separating mixtures which allows a mixture of solids and liquids or two immiscible liquids to settle and separate by gravity
  • Centrifugation
    The method of separating finely suspended particles in a liquid by whirling the liquid at a very high speed.
  • Principle of Centrifugation
    Difference in density
  • Filtration
    The method for separating an insoluble solid from a liquid using a filter paper.
  • Chromatography
    The processes of separating components of mixtures makes use of differences in solvent affinity.
  • Electrolysis
    Chemical process that can breakdown a compound into its component elements.
