Sorting and Separation of Substances

Take a cube of ice in your hand. Now try to see through it. What did you notice? Can you see through easily and clearly? NO. Now take the same ice and put it in water. Does it float? Yes, it does! It’s not magic, but it’s SCIENCE. The Ice appears smooth and shiny, its translucent, hard and even floats in water. This is how we categorize materials – based on their appearance, nature, solubility, and transparency. And what if there is any impurity in any compound? How do we remove it? Well... Let us know in this lesson how the substances are sorted and also purified to obtain a pure compound in this lesson.
