  1. 2.1 Describing Matter • Matter- Anything that has mass and volume and takes up space • Different forms of matter have different properties that allow you to identify it.

  2. 2.1 Identifying Substances • A physical property is a quality or condition of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the substance’s composition. • Hardness • color • boiling point/melting point • conductivity, • texture, • magnetic attraction • malleability

  3. 2.1 Describing Matter • Extensive Properties • An extensive property is a property that depends on the amount of matter in a sample. Will change as the size of the sample changes • Ex. Mass, volume, length ect….

  4. 2.1 Describing Matter • Intensive Properties • An intensive property is a property that depends on the type of matter in a sample. Doesn’t change when you alter the size of a sample • Ex. Temperature, color, molecular weight, density ect… • Doesn’t matter how much water you have temp, color,density will not change

  5. 2.4 Chemical Changes CHEMICAL PROPERTIES • The ability of a substance to undergo a specific chemical change is called a chemical property. • Chemical properties can be used to identify a substance. But chemical properties can be observed only when a substance undergoes a chemical change. • Ex. Flammability, reactivity, rusting

  6. REVIEW • Label the following properties as intensive or extensive and if they are a physical or chemical property • Density • Color • Mass • Malleability • Combustibility

  7. 2.1 States of Matter • States of Matter • What are three states of matter?

  8. 2.1 States of Matter • Solids • A solid is a form of matter that has a definite shape and volume.

  9. 2.1 States of Matter • Liquid • A liquid is a form of matter that has an indefinite shape, flows, yet has a fixed volume.

  10. 2.1 States of Matter • Gases • A gas is a form of matter that takes both the shape and volume of its container.

  11. 2.1 Physical Changes • Physical Changes • How can physical changes be classified?

  12. 2.1 Physical Changes • During a physical changethe composition of the material does not change. • As gallium melts in a person’s hand, the shape of the sample changes, but the composition of the material does not change.

  13. 2.1 Physical Changes • Physical changes can be classified as reversible or irreversible. • All physical changes that involve a change from one state to another are reversible. • Cutting hair, filing nails, and cracking an egg are examples of irreversible physical changes.

  14. 2.4 Chemical Changes • During a chemical change, the composition of matter always changes. • Recall that during a physical change, the composition of matter never changes.

  15. 2.4 Chemical Changes • A magnet separates iron from sulfur. This is an example of a physical change.

  16. 2.4 Chemical Changes • A mixture of iron and sulfur is heated. The iron and sulfur react and form iron sulfide. This is an example of a chemical change.

  17. 2.4 Chemical Changes • A chemical change is also called a chemical reaction. • One or more substances change into one or more new substances during a chemical reaction. • A substance present at the start of the reaction is a reactant. • A substance produced in the reaction is a product.

  18. 2.4 Recognizing Chemical Changes • Possible clues to chemical change include: • a transfer of energy • a change in color • the production of a gas • the formation of a precipitate.

  19. 2.4 Chemical Changes • A precipitate is a solid that forms and settles out of a liquid mixture. • Clues to chemical changes have practical applications.
