Classification of Matter

In class, we learned about classifying matter. We covered topics such as intramolecular which is ionic, covalent, metallic where the break changes the identity of the metal, and intermolecular associates the neighbors and includes hydrogen bonds, and when broken, the phase changes. For a clearer explanation of this you can watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnswLP4t6d0 Another thing we learned about is physical property changes, they can be observed without changing identity; whereas, chemical property changes can only be observed when a substance changes into another. Check out this link for more information: http://antoine.frostburg.edu/chem/senese/101/matter/faq/physical-chemical.shtml We also covered separation techniques with focus on filtration, distillation, and chromatography. These techniques along with a little info about the classification of matter can be found on the following video: http://study.com/academy/lesson/states-of-matter-and-methods-of-separating-mixtures.html I also found a very helpful chart for classifying matter.
