Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The given diagram has to be classified as a mixture, an element or a compound.
The given diagram is,
Figure 1
Concept Introduction:
Matter can be classified into two type’s namely pure substance and mixture.
Pure substance: A single component that has a constant composition, irrespective of the
Example: Water, sugar etc.
A pure substance can be classified into an element and a compound.
Element: A pure substance, which cannot be broken down into smaller substances by a
Example: Hydrogen gas, Magnesium ribbon and copper wire etc.
Compound: A pure substance that is formed by combination of two or more elements by chemical process is called as a compound. Example: Sodium chloride is a compound because it is formed from elements sodium and chlorine.
Mixture: A mixture consists of more than one substance and the composition of a mixture is dependent on the sample. The separation of mixture into its components can be done by physical changes.
