States of Matter

The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for a…

Chemical Reactions and Equations

When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained …

Textbook Question

Chapter 2, Problem 2.9P

9 Answer true or false.

(a) Matter is divided into elements and pure substances.

(b) Matter is anything that has mass and volume (occupies space).

(d) An element is a pure substance.

(e) A heterogeneous mixture can be separated into pure substances, but a homogeneous mixture cannot.

(f) A compound consists of elements combined in a fixed ratio.
