Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the classification of matter is a fundamental concept in chemistry that helps us organize and study different types of materials based on their composition and properties.
Recognize that matter can be broadly divided into two main groups: pure substances and mixtures.
Pure substances have a fixed composition and distinct properties; they include elements (made of one type of atom) and compounds (made of two or more elements chemically combined).
Mixtures consist of two or more substances physically combined, where each substance retains its own properties and can vary in composition.
Therefore, the two main groups into which all matter can be categorized are pure substances and mixtures.
