Notes for Is matter Around Us Pure
• Compounds
Compound is a pure substance made up of two or more elements combined chemically in a definite ratio.
1. The properties of compound differ from those of its constituents.
2. Compound has fixed melting point and boiling point.
3. Compound is a homogeneous substance.
4. Constituent elements can be separated by chemical process.
• Mixtures
It is made up of two or more elements or compounds mixed in any ratio/proportion.
Properties:
• It may be homogeneous of heterogeneous.
• The properties of constituent substances are retained.
• No new compound is formed.
• Elements can be separated by simple physical processes.
• It does not have fixed melting and boiling point.

Physical and Chemical Change
Physical Change |
Chemical Change |
(i) No new substance is formed. |
A new substance is formed. |
(ii) Properties of constituent elements/substance is retained. |
Properties of constituent elements/substance changes. |
(iii) Change does not involve loss or gain of heat. |
Loss or gain of heat may be involved in this reaction. |
(iv) This change is generally reversible. |
This change is generally irreversible. |
• Solution
It is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.
Solute |
Solvent |
A substance which is dissolved in a solvent. E.g., salt, sugar. |
Liquid part of solution in which is dissolved. E.g., water. |
Solute can be solid, liquid or gas. |
Solvent can be liquid, solid or gas. |
