    Matter can be classified as either a pure substance or a mixture. A pure substance has a definite and uniform composition and is either an element or a compound. An element consists of only one type of atom, while a compound contains two or more elements combined in fixed proportions. A mixture contains two or more substances mixed together without chemical bonding and its composition can vary. Mixtures can be either homogeneous, with a uniform composition, or heterogeneous, with a non-uniform composition. Common examples of mixtures include air, salt water, and mixed nuts.

     Matter-is anything that occupy space, and has weight, mass and volume.
     Matter -is the study of matter. It is closely related with other sciences.
     Matter can be classified either as a pure substance or a mixture. A substance in any matter
    with definite composition and character.

    1. Pure substance
    A pure substance is one with constant composition. It can be classified as either an element or
    compound.
    Examples: table salt (sodium chloride, NaCl), sugar (sucrose, C 12H22O11) water (H2O), iron (Fe),
    copper (Cu) and oxygen (O2).
     Element. This is a substance that cannot be separated into two or more substances by ordinary
    chemical (or physical) means. Elements are composed of only one kind of atom.
    Example: Potassium (K), Cobalt (Co) and Nitrogen (N)

    n
     Compound. This is a substance that contains two or more elements, in definite proportions by
    weight. The composition of a pure compound is constant, regardless of the method of
    preparation. Compounds are composed of more than one kind of atom. The term molecule is
    often used for the smallest unit of a compound that still retails all of the properties of the
    compound.
    Example: potash (potassium carbonate), lime (sodium hydroxide), baking powder (sodium
    bicarbonate)
    A compound is a substance composed of two or more different elements with their atoms in a
    definite characteristic ratio. Compound consist of specific combination of atoms as stated in the
    Law of Constant Composition.
     Classification of Compounds
     Organic compounds – are compounds containing carbon and usually hydrogen, too. Example
    include fuels, such as methane, propane, and sugar such as glucose.
     Inorganic compounds – are generally all other compounds that do not contain carbon and
    hydrogen together; they include water, calcium sulphate, ammonia, silica, hydrochloric acid, and
    many more. Some very simple carbon compounds like carbon dioxide and carbonates (which
    includes chalk) are considered as a inorganic compounds

    1. Mixture
    A mixture is composed of two or more substances in varying proportions. Each substance retains
    its own specific property. The components of a mixture can be separated by physical means,
    i.e. without the making or breaking of chemical bonds.
    Examples: air, brine or saline solution (NaCl dissolved in water), milk, wood, concrete
     Types of Mixture
    1. Homogenous Mixture. This is a mixture in which the properties and composition are uniform
    throughout the sample. Such mixtures are termed solutions.
    Examples: air and table salt thoroughly dissolved in water.
    2. Heterogeneous Mixture. This is a mixture in which the properties and composition are not
    uniform throughout the sample.
    Examples: mixed nuts, gravel and sand, salad

     Suspensions. Are mixture which particles settle down slowly when undisturbed.
     Coarse mixture. Are those which components materials can readily be identified and could be
    easily separated by the physical means.
