What is a substance?
Anything that cannot be broken into further particles by applying any physical processes is
called a Substance.
Matter can be classified into two types of substances: Pure substances and Mixtures
(Impure substances)
What is a mixture?
When we combine different substances into each other a mixture is formed. For Example,
Lemonade is a mixture of three substances, Lemon Juice, Sugar and Water.
Which of these is a mixture or a pure substance?
Water, Copper, Chocolate cake, Hydrogen, Soil, Air
Types of Mixtures
1. Homogenous Mixtures
When we add sugar, water and lemon juice together they all uniformly mix with each other. Now it
is not possible to separate these substances from the mixture. Such mixtures in which the
components mix with each other uniformly are called Homogeneous Mixtures.
The ratio of compositions of homogeneous mixtures can be different. For Example, one may add
two spoons of sugar in lemonade while someone else may add only one spoon of sugar in their
lemonade. Still, lemonade is a homogeneous mixture.
2. Heterogeneous Mixtures
The components in a heterogeneous mixture do not completely dissolve in each other and we can
separate them by physical means. In other words, the composition of such mixtures is not uniform.
For Example, If we mix sand in water.
Mixture
Hetrogeneous Homogeneous

A solution is nothing but a uniform mixture of two or more substances. Homogenous Mixtures are
solutions.
Solution of -
Liquid into a liquid: Water and Ink
Solid into solid: Alloys
Gas into gas: Air
Solid into a liquid: Sugar and Water
Solid into gas: Hydrogen and Metals
Liquid into gas: Carbon Dioxide and Water
What is an alloy?
An alloy is a mixture of different metals or nonmetals and metals that cannot be separated from
each other using physical methods. For Example Brass - Copper with up to 50% zinc,
Bronze - Copper with up to 12% tin
Solution consists of two types of substances, a solute and a solvent.
Solution = Solute + Solvent
Solvent: The substance in which another substance is mixed is called the Solvent. For Example,
Water is a solvent in which we can mix different substances such as salt or sugar.
Solute: The substance that is added to the solvent to form a solution is called a Solute. For
Example, Salt, when mixed in water, acts as a solute for the mixture.
Properties of a Solution:
What is concentration?
Concentration refers to the amount of a substance per defined space or can be defined as the
ratio of solute in a solution to either solvent or total solution.
What is a suspension?
A suspension is formed when two or more substances are mixed in a non-uniform manner.
Heterogeneous mixtures are suspensions. The solute does not mix with the solvent and can be
viewed through naked eyes.
Properties of Suspensions:
A colloidal solution or a colloid is a uniform solution of two or more substances. The particles are
relatively very small and the solution appears as a homogeneous mixture but it is not.
Properties of colloids:
When a beam of light is passed through a colloid the particles of the colloid scatter the beam of
light and we can see the path of light. in the solution. For Example, when a ray of light enters a
dark room it is scattered by the dust particles present in the air and we can see the path of light
clearly.
Classification of Colloids
Based on the state of the dispersing medium colloids are classified as:
The components of a mixture can be separated from each other using several other techniques
like
Evaporation
Centrifugation
Sublimation
Chromatography
Distillation
Applications:
Separating coloured component from the ink
Salt from water
Sugar from Water
Method:
Mix some ink into water and heat it. After some time the water will evaporate leaving behind the
coloured substance.
Applications:
Separating milk from cream
Separating butter from cream
Squeezing out water from wet clothes
Method:
Milk is put in a centrifuging machine or milk churner and the cream thus separates from milk.
Applications:
Oil from water
Iron and iron ore
Method:
The immiscible liquids are allowed to settle in the funnel. They soon form separate layers due to
varying densities. The first liquid is allowed to flow out of the funnel and as soon as it is completely
poured out, the stopcock is closed thereby separating the two liquids from each other.
Applications:
Ammonium chloride/camphor/naphthalene and salt
Method:
Heat the mixture in an inverted funnel so that the sublimable component sublimes in the air and
settles over the walls of the funnel and the non-sublimable component, on the other hand, is left
behind.
Applications:
Separating colour components of a dye
Drugs from blood
Method:
Take a filter paper or a blotting paper and place a drop of ink at the rear end. Dip the end in water.
Since the ink is a mixture of two or more colours, the component of ink which is soluble in water
mixes into it and then separates quickly from the other components that are less soluble in water.
6. Distillation - To separate miscible liquids (the boiling points of the liquids must be sufficiently
different)
Applications:
Acetone and water
Method:
The mixture is heated in a distillation apparatus. The one substance with a lower boiling
point evaporates first, condenses and gets separated from the one with a higher boiling
point.
Simple Distillation miscible when the liquids have a satisfactory difference in their boiling
points.
Fractional Distillation when the difference between the boiling points of the liquids is less
than 25 K.
Compress and cool the air by increasing the temperature and decreasing the pressure. The
air turns to liquid air.
Liquid air is warmed up slowly in a fractional distillation apparatus
The several components of air get separated and are collected at various heights on the
basis of their boiling points
Purifying Solids
Method used - Crystallisation
In the crystallisation method, we can obtain a pure solid in the form of crystals from its solution
Applications:
Salt from seawater
Purification of copper sulphate
Method:
1. Some solid substances decompose because of excess heat. For Example, Sugar gets charred
on extra heating.
2. If after filtration some impurities remain in the solution they can contaminate the solid and
therefore we would not obtain substance a pure
Properties of a substance such as rigidity, colour, fluidity, boiling point, melting point, density and
hardness which we can observe are called Physical Properties.
Physical Change:
When the physical properties of a substance change it is known as a Physical Change. When we
convert a substance from one state to another, such as a solid into a liquid or vice-versa, it is also
a physical change as only the physical nature of the substance changes without affecting its
chemical nature.
For Example, Change of ice into water. The chemical properties of water remain the same.
The chemical nature of a substance is known as its Chemical Property such as its odour or its
chemical composition.
Chemical Change:
When the chemical properties or chemical composition of a substance gets altered it is called a
chemical change. It is also called a Chemical Reaction.
Elements
An element is the simplest form of matter. Elements cannot be broken down into further elements
by chemical reactions. Elements are further characterised as Metals, Nonmetals and Metalloids
Quick Facts
6. At room temperature, 2 elements exist in the liquid state - bromine and mercury
7. At a temperature slightly higher than room temperature, 2 elements exist in the liquid state
calcium and gallium
Compounds
It is a substance that consists of two or more elements. These substances are combined.
chemically with each other in fixed proportions. The properties of a compound are different from
that of its constituents. For Example, Ammonium Sulphate, Sulphur Chloride, Water.
