    - Unit 1: Structures, Trends, Chemical Reactions, Quantitative Chemistry and Analysis
      - 1.9 Chemical analysis
        1.9.1 demonstrate knowledge and understanding that a pure substance is a single element or compound not mixed with any other substance; and
        1.9.2 demonstrate knowledge and understanding that pure elements and compounds melt and boil at specific temperatures and melting point and boiling point can be used to distinguish pure substances from mixtures.
        1.9.4 demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the terms soluble, insoluble, solute, solvent, solution, residue, filtrate, distillate, miscible, immiscible, evaporation and condensation;
        1.9.6 describe paper chromatography as the separation of mixtures of soluble substances by running a solvent (mobile phase) through the mixture on the paper (stationary phase), which causes the substances to move at different rates over the paper;

        2. Develop and use models to describe the nature of matter; demonstrate how they provide a simple way to to account for the conservation of mass, changes of state, physical change, chemical change, mixtures, and their separation.
        4. Classify substances as elements, compounds, mixtures, metals, non-metals, solids, liquids, gases and solutions.
      - Systems and interactions
        6. Investigate the properties of different materials including solubilities, conductivity, melting points and boiling points.
