The document discusses atoms and molecules, which are the basic building blocks of matter. It states that everything is made of atoms, and there are 113 known types of atoms. Atoms join together in groups called molecules. Substances are made of either a single type of molecule, making them a pure substance, or multiple types of molecules, making them a mixture. Pure substances can be either elements or compounds, while mixtures can be either homogeneous or heterogeneous.

Task 5
Explain how you would separate the following mixtures:
1. Salt from sea water
2.- The different colour inks in black ink.
2.Alcohol from water (hint: alcohol has a boiling point of 58ºC)
Task 6
