Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Recall the basic classifications of matter: elements, compounds, homogeneous mixtures, and heterogeneous mixtures.
Understand that an element is a pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means.
Recognize that a compound is a pure substance composed of two or more elements chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio.
Identify that a homogeneous mixture has a uniform composition throughout but consists of physically combined substances, not chemically bonded.
Note that a heterogeneous mixture has visibly different parts or phases and is not uniform throughout.
