Chapter 3 State Standards: 7.c; 8.a; 8.b; 8.d 1 Contreras
Matter is ANYTHING that has mass and takes up space Matter is made from small building blocks (atoms and molecules) Have both physical and chemical properties 2 Contreras
Characteristics of a substance that do not involve a chemical change Can be observed or measured without changing the matter’s identity or composition. 3 Contreras
1. Thermal Conductivity Rate at which a substance transfers heat Good - Most metals Bad – Styrofoam 2. Malleability Ability of a substance to be rolled, pounded, molded into shapes without breaking (flexibility or brittleness) Good – Aluminum (can be rolled into aluminum foil) Bad – Glass 4 Contreras
3. Ductility The ability of a substance to be pulled and made into wire. Ex. Copper 4. Solubility The ability of a substance to dissolve in another substance Ex. Cool-Aid 5 Contreras
5. State The physical form in which a substance exists Solid, liquid, gas 6. Density The mass per unit volume of a substance. Ex. A bowling ball vs. a basketball 6 Contreras
The amount of mass in a given volume How tightly atoms are packed in a space Density is unique to each substance Density = Mass (grams) Volume (cm 3 or mL) Density units are: g/cm 3 (for solids) g/mL (for liquids) 7 Contreras
Density of an object is more than density of the fluid SINK Density of an object is less than density of the fluid FLOAT Liquids separate into layers based on their density 8 Contreras
A change of matter from one form/state to another without a change in chemical properties Mostly changes of state or form Do not create new substances Most of the time are reversible 9 Contreras
Ice cubes melting Boiling water Melting Crayons Shaping clay Dissolving sugar in water Melting butter 10 Contreras
When substances undergo changes in composition Original matter changes its identity One or more new substances are formed Happens on a molecular level 11 Contreras
Color change Presence of heat (give or absorb) Smoke Light production Cooking/baking Souring milk Ripening Mold Rust (iron reacts with oxygen) 12 Contreras
Picture lighting a candle with a match and observing the candle burning for a few minutes. What physical and chemical changes did you observe? Wax melting Flame Smoke coming from the candle (physical) (chemical) (chemical) 13 Contreras
