Classification Matter Flow Chart

This document provides a flow chart for classifying matter. It outlines the key questions and distinctions between mixtures and pure substances, and further distinguishes between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures, compounds, and elements. A mixture can be separated physically, while a pure substance requires chemical decomposition. Homogeneous mixtures are uniform throughout, while heterogeneous mixtures have parts that can be easily seen and identified.
