Introduction:
All the components in the universe is composed of matter. The term ‘matter’ refers to anything, which occupies space and has mass. Matter can further be classified as mixtures and pure substances. Pure substances are those that have a fixed composition, while mixtures are those that have variable composition. Pure substances are classified as elements or compounds and mixtures are classified as homogeneous and heterogeneous.
