how do you classify matter to composition

Intensive investigation by scientists over the years led to the development of a mental model (the minuscule particles couldn't be actually seen at that time) known as 'dynamic particle model..

Nature of Matter..

All around us are substances that are made of matter. Matter has mass and occupies some space. Different kinds of substances are made up of different matter. Matter can be thus classified in many ways. Two basic classifications of matter a..

Based on its broad chemical composition, matter is classified as elements, compounds and mixture..

Composition of Matter..

Impure Substances - Mixtures Impure substances are commonly called mixtures. A mixture is a material containing two or more elements or compounds that are in close contact and are mixed in any proportion. The constituents of mixtures exhibit their individual properties. These constituents can b..

Classification of Matter - Matter can be classified into different categories depending upon their physical or chemical natur..

Physical and Chemical Changes Matter undergoes certain changes as a result of the application of energy. Water from saltpans on the seacoast dry up, leaving behind salt; water from the sea evaporates to from water vapour, which convert into clouds and then condense to form rain. Glaci..

All matter consists of atoms and molecules. Each of these atoms and molecules has certain amount of energy. The level of this energy decides the state in which the matter exists. When heat energy is supplied to matter, this energy level rises. As a result of this, sta..

Summary Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass Element is a pure substance, which can neither be decomposed nor built from simpler substances by any physical or chemical means. It contains only one kind of atom. Broadly speaking, elements can be divided into metals..
