These notes cover the basics of matter and how everything around us is classified. You’ll learn what elements are and how they’re the simplest form of matter, what makes a pure substance different from a mixture, and how mixtures can be either homogeneous (uniform throughout) or heterogeneous (visibly different parts). This section breaks down each category with clear definitions and examples so you can easily identify what type of matter you’re dealing with.
