Classifying Matter

Classifying Matter:

I can distinguish between physical and chemical changes in matter evident by my ability to

• Cite evidence for the occurrence of a chemical reaction vs. a change in physical properties alone

I can classify matter based on its characteristics evident by my ability to

• Distinguish between elements, compounds, homogeneous mixtures, and heterogeneous mixtures based on the physical and chemical properties of the substances

• Use particle diagrams to show the differences between mixtures, compounds and elements

• Measure a compounds solubility based on temperature of the solvent; Construct and interpret data in a solubility graph
