This document provides an introduction to the properties of matter for grades 10-12. It defines matter as anything that has mass and volume, and explains that matter exists in three phases (solid, liquid, gas) and two forms (mixtures and pure substances). Mixtures are classified as either homogeneous or heterogeneous, while pure substances are either elements or compounds. Examples are given for each category of matter. The document aims to give students a basic understanding of the fundamental concepts relating to the properties and classification of different types of matter.

4. Properties of Matter

5. A matter comes in three
phases and in two forms.
Three phases of a mater
1. Solid phase
2. Liquid phase
3. Gaseous phase (gas)
Mr. Tshepo Joseph Rantho

6. Two forms of a mater
a) Mixtures:
•Homogenous mixture
•Heterogeneous mixture
b) Pure - substances
•Elements
•compounds
Mr. Tshepo Joseph Rantho

7. Example of mixtures
• Homogenous mixture:
 Salt and water solution
 Suger and water solution
 Coffee
• Heterogeneous mixtures
 Pizza
 Fruit salad
 Cows, goads and sheeps
Mr. Tshepo Joseph Rantho

8. Example of pure -
substances
Compounds
 Carbon dioxide (CO2)
 Sulphuric acid (HSO4)
Elements
 Oxygen
 Hydrogen
 Calcium
