📖 1. Pure and Impure Substances

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Pure substance: A substance that consists of only one type of element or compound with no other substances present.
  • Impure substance: A substance that contains a mixture of different substances, not chemically pure.
  • Element: A pure substance made up of only one type of atom.
  • Compound: A pure substance composed of two or more elements chemically combined.
  • Chemical purity: The degree to which a substance contains only one type of chemical species, with a uniform and consistent composition throughout.

📝 Essential Points

  • A pure substance consists of only one type of element or compound with no other substances present.
  • Impure substances contain a mixture of different substances and are not chemically pure.
  • Pure water contains only H2O molecules, whereas tap water contains additional substances like dissolved ions and chlorine.
  • In chemistry, purity means the substance has a uniform and consistent composition throughout.

💡 Key Takeaway

Understanding the fundamental difference between pure and impure substances is essential for identifying chemical composition and properties.
