Which of the following are two different ways to classify matter?
A
By its mass and its volume
B
By its physical state (solid, liquid, gas) and by its composition (element, compound, mixture)
C
By its color and its temperature
D
By its density and its boiling point
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that classifying matter involves grouping substances based on their inherent properties or characteristics.
Recognize that mass and volume are quantitative measurements, not classification methods, so 'By its mass and its volume' is not a way to classify matter.
Identify that physical state (solid, liquid, gas) is a common way to classify matter based on its observable form.
Know that composition (element, compound, mixture) classifies matter based on what it is made of chemically.
Conclude that the two different ways to classify matter are by its physical state and by its composition, as these reflect fundamental categories used in chemistry.
