S8P1. Students will examine the scientific view of the nature of matter. • a. Distinguish between atoms and molecules. • b. Describe the difference between pure substances (elements and compounds) and mixtures. • c. Describe the movement of particles in solids, liquids, gases, and plasmas states. • d. Distinguish between physical and chemical properties of matter as physical (i.e., density, melting point, boiling point) or chemical (i.e., reactivity, combustibility). Standards
