Section 3-1 Section 3.1 Properties of Matter Identify the characteristics of a substance. density: a ratio that compares the mass of an object to its volume Distinguish between physical and chemical properties. Differentiate among the physical states of matter.

Section 3-1 Section 3.1 Properties of Matter (cont.) states of matter solid liquid gas vapor Most common substances exist as solids, liquids, and gases, which have diverse physical and chemical properties. physical property extensive property intensive property chemical property

Section 3-1 Substances Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. Matter is everything around us. Matter with a uniform and unchanging composition is a substance.

Section 3-1 States of Matter The physical forms of matter, either solid, liquid, or gas, are called the states of matter.states of matter Solids are a form of matter that have their own definite shape and volume.Solids Liquids are a form of matter that have a definite volume but take the shape of the container.Liquids

Section 3-1 States of Matter (cont.) Gases have no definite shape or volume. They expand to fill their container.Gases Vapor refers to the gaseous state of a substance that is a solid or liquid at room temperature.Vapor

Section 3-1 Physical Properties of Matter A physical property is a characteristic that can be observed or measured without changing the sample’s composition.physical property

Section 3-1 Physical Properties of Matter (cont.) Extensive properties are dependent on the amount of substance present, such as mass, length, or volume.Extensive properties Intensive properties are independent of the amount of substance present, such as density.Intensive properties

Section 3-1 Chemical Properties of Matter The ability of a substance to combine with or change into one or more other substances is called a chemical property.chemical property – Iron forming rust – Copper turning green in the air

Section 3-1 Observing Properties of Matter A substance can change form–an important concept in chemistry. Chemical properties can change with specific environmental conditions, such as temperature and pressure.
