● Pure Substance: Uniform in its chemical composition and its properties to the
microscopic level.
● Mixture: can vary in both composition and properties, depending on how it's made.
● Homogeneous Mixture: Blend of two or more pure substances having uniform
composition at the microscopic level.
- Ex; Sugar dissolved in water
● Heterogeneous Mixture: Blend of two or more pure substances having non uniform
composition.
- Ex; Veggie stew

substances.
● Chemical Compound: Any pure material that can be broken down into simpler substances
by a chemical change.

1.6 Physical Quantities- Units and Scientific Notation:
● Physical Quantities: Mass, volume, temperature, density, and other physical properties
that can be measured and described by both a number and a unit that defines the nature
and magnitude of the number.
