This activity is designed to classify matter based on its arrangment at the particle level (very very tiny level!). Work through each problem using problem solving skills to understand the differences between elements, compounds, and mixtures.

Read this for the next question: Matter is classified as a pure substance when all of the particles are identical. Matter is classified as a mixture if there are different particles present.

Read this for the next question: Elements are pure substances made from only one type of atom. Compounds are pure substances made from two or more types of atoms.
