Question

How can matter be classified at a macroscopic level?

Answer 1

Hint: The matter is any substance that consists of mass and has volume. Macroscopic level means which is visible to your naked eye. Matter can be classified based on the chemical composition of different substances.

Complete answer:

As shown in the diagram above, we can see that macroscopic matter is broadly classified into two main categories: Pure substances and mixtures. The pure substances are sub-categorized into Element and compound and mixtures are sub-categorized into Homogeneous and Heterogeneous.

MATTER
Pure substances	Mixtures
These substances are made up of only one type of molecule or atom.	These substances are made up of more than one atom or molecule that are not chemically bonded.

Note:
When asked to classify matter, pay attention to what type of classification is asked. Is it macroscopic or microscopic? Because matter is classified based on its phases into solid, liquid, and gas. Matter can be classified also based on its chemical and physical properties.
