Explain classification of matter based on chornical properties. ( Macrosopic)

Answer»



Solution :At the macrosopic or bulk level, matter can be classified as mixture or pure SUBSTANCES. These can be furthor, sub-divided as shown in figure.

Many of the substances present around us are mixture. For example, sugar solution in water, air, TEA etc.
A mixture contains two or more substances present in it which are called its components.
Pure substances have CHARACTERISTICS different from the mixtures. They have fixed composition, where as mixtures may contain the components,in any ratio and their composition is variable. Example Copper, silver, gold, water, glucose etc.
Glucose contains CARBON, hydrogen and oxygen in a fixed ratio and THUS, like all other pure substances has a fixed composition.
The constituents of pure substances cannot be separated by simple physical method.
