Question

1. below is a flowchart representing the classification of matter. complete the flowchart by dragging and dropping the correct labels in the appropriate spaces in the flowchart to show how matter is classified.

matter
does it have constant properties and composition?
no
yes
is it uniform throughout?
no
yes
can it be simplified chemically?
no
yes
element
heterogeneous mixture
mixture
compound
homogeneous mixture
pure substance

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze left - branch of first decision

If matter does not have constant properties and composition, it is a mixture. Then, if it is not uniform throughout among mixtures, it is a heterogeneous mixture.

Step2: Analyze right - branch of first decision for mixtures

If matter does not have constant properties and composition (a mixture) and is uniform throughout, it is a homogeneous mixture.

Step3: Analyze right - branch of first decision for pure substances

If matter has constant properties and composition (a pure substance), and can be simplified chemically, it is a compound.

Step4: Analyze final case for pure substances

If matter has constant properties and composition (a pure substance) and cannot be simplified chemically, it is an element.

Answer:

From left - to - right, top - to - bottom: Heterogeneous Mixture, Homogeneous Mixture, Element, Compound
