What to Focus On

  • Pure substances are either elements or compounds.
  • They have a fixed composition and definite properties.
  • They cannot be separated by physical methods.
  • Mixtures are impure substances.
  • Components do not react chemically and retain their properties.
  • No fixed composition — can mix in any ratio.
  • Homogeneous mixtures are uniform — components are not visible.
  • Heterogeneous mixtures are not uniform — components can be seen.
  • Examples: Saltwater (homogeneous), sand and iron (heterogeneous).

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Air is a pure substance because it looks and feels uniform.

Mixtures and compounds are the same because both contain more than one substance.

All homogeneous mixtures are pure substances.
