Understanding Matter: States, Properties, and Changes

Explore the fundamentals of matter, including its definition, states (solid, liquid, gas, plasma), and types (elements, compounds, mixtures). This overview explains concepts like mass, weight, volume, and the processes of change among different states of matter. Learn about physical and chemical properties, including extensive and intensive properties, and the distinctions between physical and chemical changes. Delve into the science of matter with clear definitions and examples relevant to everyday life, enhancing your comprehension of the material world.

  1. Matter and Change

  2. A. Basic Vocabulary • Matter-Anythingthattakes up space and has mass. • Weightis a measure of thepull of gravityonanobject; • massistheamount of mattertheobjectcontains. • Volume-howmuchspaceanobjectoccupies

  3. B. States of Matter 1. Solids-have a definite volume and definite shape; molecules vibrate in place Liquids-No definite shape but definite volume; molecules move slowly taking on the shape of their container Gas-no definite shape or volume; move very fast

  4. Whatstates of matter are represented in thephotograph?

  5. 4. Plasma • Makes up 99% of the visible universe • The most common form of matter • A very energetic gas in which electrons are stripped from the atoms.

  6. Plasma can be found in the Sun and … Stars and … Lightning

  7. Solid Liquid Gas Plasma Close up view of atoms and their behavior Animated images are from http://www.chem.purdue.edu/gchelp/

  8. 5. Changing States a. Changing states requires a change in pressure or temperature (adding or taking away energy) b. Processes of change 1. gas to liquid 2. liquid to solid 3. Solid to gas 4. solid to liquid 5. Liquid to gas condensation freezing sublimation melting evaporation, boiling

  9. C. Types of Matter • Materialsdiffer in terms of thekind of mattertheycontain. • Matterthat has a uniform and definitecompositioniscalled a substance. • Substances can be identified as either an element, compound, or a mixture.

  10. 1. ELEMENT • A pure substance that cannot be broken down any further • has just one type of atom • Atoms are the smallest part of an element • Can be one atom or a molecule (2 atoms joined) • Examples might be Oxygen (O), Nitrogen (N), Carbon (C) and Hydrogen (H). • These 4 are necessary to all life • Symbol-represents an element

  11. 2. Compounds • contains two or more different atoms (elements) joined together. • This is a molecule and it is the smallest part of a compound • a chemical reaction is needed to separate elements in a compound. • Examples would be water, salt, sugar • Represented by formulas: H2O, NaCl, C6H12O6

  12. 3. mixture • A mixture contains two or more different substances that are only physically joined together, not chemically. • A mixture can contain both elements and compounds. There are two kinds of mixtures. • a. Homogeneous-equal parts; evenly mixed solutions like saltwater or koolaid. • b. Heterogeneous-uneven mix of parts. Many settle out depending on weight. Examples might include milk, muddy water and salad dressing

  13. D. Properties of Matter 1. Properties used to describe matter can be classified as: • Extensive– depends on the amount of matter in the sample - Mass, volume, calories are examples • Intensive – depends on the type of matter, not the amount present - Hardness, Density, Boiling Point

  14. 2. Types of properties are… • Physical Properties- a property that can be observed and measured without changing the material’s composition (identity). -Examples- color, hardness, melting point, boiling point, texture, odor, size • Chemical Properties- a property that can only be observed by changing the composition of the material. -Examples- ability to burn, decompose, ferment, react with oxygen, etc.

  15. E. Changes in Matter • Physical change-A type of changethatalters a material withoutchangingit’schemicalcomposition. • Boil, melt, cut, bend, split, crack • Is boiled water still water? • Is a cut piece of wood still wood? • Can be reversible, or irreversible

  16. 2. Chemical change- a change where a new substance is formed that is different than the original • Examples: Burning, corroding, decomposing • Evidence of a chemical change include • Energy (light, heat or both) is absorbed or released • Endothermic-heat is absorbed cooling temperatures • Exothermic-heat is released raising temperatures and often giving off light • Color changes • Gas production (bubbling, fizzing, or odor change; smoke)
