Problem: Classification of Matter Worksheet
The task is to fill in the boxes of the flowchart with the appropriate classifications of matter from the given choices. The goal is to correctly categorize matter based on its properties and composition.
#### Given Choices:
- Solution
- Colloid
- Suspension
- Heterogeneous mixture
- Homogeneous mixture
- Solvent
- Solute
- Compound
- Pure substance
- Element
- Particle
---
Solution:
We will work through the flowchart step by step, filling in each box logically based on the definitions of the terms provided.
####
Step 1: Starting Point
The flowchart begins with "MATTER." From here, it splits into two paths:
1.
Only one type of substance present
2.
More than one type of substance present
####
Path 1: Only one type of substance present
If there is only one type of substance present, it is a
pure substance. This further splits into:
-
One type of atoms: This describes an
element.
-
More than one type of atoms: This describes a
compound.
So, we can fill in:
- Green box (only one type of substance present):
Pure substance
- Purple box (one type of atoms):
Element
- Light green box (more than one type of atoms):
Compound
####
Path 2: More than one type of substance present
If there are more than one type of substance present, it is a
mixture. This further splits into:
-
Uniform composition: This describes a
homogeneous mixture.
-
Irregular composition: This describes a
heterogeneous mixture.
So, we can fill in:
- Blue box (more than one type of substance present):
Mixture
- Yellow box (uniform composition):
Homogeneous mixture
- Orange box (irregular composition):
Heterogeneous mixture
####
Path 2.1: Homogeneous Mixture
A homogeneous mixture can be further described as a
solution. A solution consists of a
solvent and a
solute. These are the two parts of a solution.
So, we can fill in:
- Yellow box (same as):
Solution
- Pink box (has two parts):
Solvent
- Light blue box (has two parts):
Solute
####
Path 2.2: Heterogeneous Mixture
A heterogeneous mixture can include examples like
suspensions and
colloids, but these are not explicitly asked for in the flowchart. However, they are types of heterogeneous mixtures.

Final Filled Flowchart:
```
MATTER
│
├── Only one type of substance present → Pure substance
│ │
│ ├── One type of atoms → Element
│ └── More than one type of atoms → Compound
│
└── More than one type of substance present → Mixture
│
├── Uniform composition → Homogeneous mixture → Solution
│ │
│ ├── Same as → Solution
│ └── Has two parts → Solvent, Solute
└── Irregular composition → Heterogeneous mixture
```

Final Answer:
```
Green box: Pure substance
Purple box: Element
Light green box: Compound
Blue box: Mixture
Yellow box: Homogeneous mixture
Orange box: Heterogeneous mixture
Yellow box (same as): Solution
Pink box: Solvent
Light blue box: Solute
```
Final Answer Boxed:
\boxed{
\begin{array}{l}
\text{Green box: Pure substance} \\
\text{Purple box: Element} \\
\text{Light green box: Compound} \\
\text{Blue box: Mixture} \\
\text{Yellow box: Homogeneous mixture} \\
\text{Orange box: Heterogeneous mixture} \\
\text{Yellow box (same as): Solution} \\
\text{Pink box: Solvent} \\
\text{Light blue box: Solute} \\
\end{array}
