Classify each of the following materials as an element, compound, heterogeneous mixture, or homogeneous mixture: (a) a fried egg, (b) ozone, (c) brass, (d) carbon dioxide.
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 all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
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 using a chemical equation.
Classify each of the following materials as an element, compound, heterogeneous mixture, or homogeneous mixture: (a) a fried egg, (b) ozone, (c) brass, (d) carbon dioxide.
Homogeneous mixtures contains two (or) more substances in uniform manner and the substances are seen in same phase.
Heterogeneous mixtures contains two (or) more substances in different phases.
Combination of more than one element is a compound.
Elements is pure substance and cannot be broken into simpler substances.
