Matter
Everything that has mass and volume is called matter.
The Nature of Matter Chemists are interested in the nature of matter and how this is related to its atoms and molecules. GoldMercury

Physical Properties What are some physical properties? colorcolor melting and boiling pointmelting and boiling point odorodor
Graphite — layer structure of carbon atoms reflects physical properties.
Physical Changes –can be observed without changing the identity of the substance Some physical changes would be boiling of a liquidboiling of a liquid melting of a solidmelting of a solid dissolving a solid in a liquid to give a homogeneous mixture — a SOLUTION.dissolving a solid in a liquid to give a homogeneous mixture — a SOLUTION.
Chemical Properties and Chemical Change Burning hydrogen (H 2 ) in oxygen (O 2 ) gives H 2 O.Burning hydrogen (H 2 ) in oxygen (O 2 ) gives H 2 O.
Chemical Properties and Chemical Change Chemical change or chemical reaction — transformation of one or more atoms or molecules into one or more different molecules.Chemical change or chemical reaction — transformation of one or more atoms or molecules into one or more different molecules. Burning hydrogen (H 2 ) in oxygen (O 2 ) gives H 2 O.Burning hydrogen (H 2 ) in oxygen (O 2 ) gives H 2 O.
