1 Introduction to Matter

2 1.1 Properties of Matter: OBJECTIVES
Define matter, mass, and volume. Identify physical properties of matter. List examples of chemical properties of matter. CHEMICAL PROPERTY PHYSICAL PROPERTY DENSITY REACTIVITY FLAMMABILITY VOLUME MASS WEIGHT MATTER

3 1.1 Properties of Matter What do you and a speck of dust have in common? Both consist of atoms of matter Matter- anything that has mass & volume Everything is made of matter (except energy)

4 1.1 Properties of Matter The amount of matter in a substance is its mass You measure mass with a balance, or a scale The SI unit for mass is the kilogram, or kg (small objects are measured in grams, g)

5 1.1 Properties of Matter Mass & weight are related, but they are not the same Weight measures the force of gravity pulling on an object Your mass is the same on Earth and the Moon, but your weight will be very different The SI unit for weight is newton (N) 1 kg on Earth=9.8 N What is the weight, in newtons, of an object with a mass of 10 kg?

6 1.1 Properties of Matter Volume is the amount of space matter takes up
Liquids are measured with graduated cylinders and beakers using the metric system; Liters (L) and milliliters (mL) Gas volume depends on the container, they expand to fill the space Regularly shaped solids can be calculated with their dimensions (length X width X height) Irregular shaped solids use the displacement method (dropping it in water)

8 1.1 Properties of Matter Physical Properties- properties that can be measured or observed without changing it. Use your senses (see, hear, small, feel) Examples Color Odor Hardness Freezing/boiling points

10 1.1 Properties of Matter Density reflects how closely packed the particles of matter are Mass per unit volume Calculated by dividing the mass of an object by its volume. An object has a mass of 180 kg and a volume of 90 m^3. What is its density?

11 1.1 Properties of Matter Chemical Properties: can only be measured or observed when matter changes to become a new substance. Examples: Flammability-ability to burn Reactivity- ability to combine chemically with other substances

12 1.2 Types of Matter: OBJECTIVES
Describe elements and atoms. Describe compounds, molecules, and crystals. Define mixture, and identify types of mixtures. Atom Colloid Compound Crystal Element Mixture Molecule Solution Suspension

13 1.2 Types of Matter The properties of matter depend on the substances that matter is made of. Matter is either a pure substance or a combination Element= pure substance 90+ elements occur in nature Each element has its own unique of properties

14

15 1.2 Types of Matter An atom is the smallest particle of an element that still has the element’s properties All atoms of an element are alike All elements are different

16 1.2 Types of Matter Elements can combine in many different substances
A unique substance that forms from 2 or more elements combined chemically is called a compound A compound has different properties than the substances it contains. Hydrogen, Oxygen, & Water

17 1.2 Types of Matter The smallest particle of a compound that has the compound’s properties is a molecule A molecule consists of 2 or more atoms joined together Certain compounds form crystals instead of molecules Crystals are rigid, lattice-like frameworks of many atoms bonded together

18 1.2 Types of Matter A combination of 2 or more substances in any proportion is a mixture The substances in the mixture may be elements or compounds The substances do not form a new substance, but keep their own original properties and just intermix

19

20 1.2 Types of Matter There are two types of mixtures, homogeneous and heterogeneous Homogeneous mixtures have the same composition throughout Salt water in the ocean Heterogeneous mixtures vary in their composition Trail mix, salad, chex mix, etc. The properties of mixtres vary depending on the size of the particles

21 1.2 Types of Matter Solution= homogeneous mixture with tiny particles (salt water) Too small to reflect light, settle, or filter out; cannot see particles Suspension= heterogeneous mixture with large particles (muddy water) Particles reflect light, settle to the bottom, and can be filtered out; you can see the Colloid= homogeneous mixture with medium-sized particles (homogenized milk & jell-o) Particles are large enough to reflect light and see, but too small to settle or filter out

22 1.2 Types of Matter The components of a mixture keep their identify when they combine The different physical properties (boiling/melting points, density) are used to separate them

23 1.3 Changes in Matter: OBJECTIVES
Define & give example of physical changes in matter Define & give examples of chemical changes in matter State the law of conservation of mass Chemical change Law of conservation of mass Physical change

24 1.3 Changes in Matter Physical change- a change in one or more of matter’s physical properties Matter may look different afterwards, but it is still the same substance with the same chemical properties Physical changes are easy to undo

25

26 1.3 Changes in Matter Chemical change- matter changes chemically into an entirely different substance with different chemical properties A chemical change has occurred when one of the following happens Gas formed (baking soda & vinegar) Change of color (leaves turn color in the fall) Odor is produced (logs burning) Solids are formed Since chemical changes produce new substances, they often cannot be undone

27

28 1.3 Changes in Matter The law of conservation of mass= matter cannot be created nor destroyed Even when matter undergoes a physical or chemical change, the total mass stays the same How much you put in, is how much you get out
