1. Properties of Matter
Chemistry Topic 1

2. Classification of Matter
Complete Properties of Matter Activity 1
Instructions:
Obtain the envelope marked Properties of Matter Activity 1. Inside the envelope you should have 12 cards. Your goal is to divide these cards into 3 or 4 groupings. There will not be an equal number of cards in each group. Once you have decided your groups you must also prove a reason why you decided on these groups. When you have completed this activity have Ms. Cobler check your groupings.
When Ms. Cobler has approved of your categories; copy down the set of cards making up each group, as well as the vocabulary word that defines that particular group.

3. Vocabulary Element Compound Homogenous Mixture Heterogeneous Mixture
A chemical element or element is a species of atoms having the same number of protons in their atomic nuclei (i.e. the same atomic number, Z). There are 118 elements that have been identified, of which the first 94 occur naturally on Earth with the remaining 24 being synthetic elements.
Compound
A compound is a substance formed when two or more chemical elements are chemically bonded together. Two types of chemical bonds common in compounds are covalent bonds and ionic bonds. The elements in any compound are always present in fixed ratios.
Homogenous Mixture
Heterogeneous Mixture

4. States of Matter
Complete the following prediction questions before starting the simulation:
Describe how atoms of a solid differ from atoms of a liquid. Include an illustration. 
Describe how atoms of a liquid appear compared to a gas. Include an illustration.
What happens to atoms when you add heat to them?
After you have completed the prediction questions follow the link below to access a States of Matter simulation.
Click the ‘play’ button to start the simulation. Advance to the next slide for questions and instructions for the simulation.

5. States of Matter SIMULATION INSTRUCTIONS AND QUESTIONS
Play around with the first tab for awhile, trying everything out. The circles
How does solid Neon or Argon look compared to liquid Neon or Argon?
How about liquid Neon or Argon versus gas Neon or Argon?
How do the Oxygen and Water molecules compare to Neon and Argon? Draw each. Why do you think that could be?
Can you get the molecules to stop wiggling? If so, how?
What happens to the molecules when heat is added?

Elements, Compounds, & Mixtures (2 pages)

9. Phase Change
Complete the Phase changes and heating curve diagram worksheet before moving on, have Ms. Cobler check your answers.
Definition: When a substance changes its phase or state.
Solid  Liquid  Gas
Phase changes can also be shown symbolically with a heating curve graph like the one seen on the right.

10. Properties of Matter
Phase changes are just one example of physical change in matter. Changes in chemistry are often referred to as one of two general changes, Physical or Chemical. These are the most general types of matter changes.
The chart to the left should help you decide whether a change is physical of chemical.
Watch the video following this slide for more information on Physical and Chemical changes.

Which of the 5 properties listed in the table (Mass Volume, melting/freezing point, boiling point, and density) depend on how much of the substance is present and which of the 5 properties remain the same no matter how much of the substance is present? – Check your answer with Ms. Cobler.

15. Identifying an Unknown Substance
We use Intensive properties to identify unknown substances. You will learn more about a few specific intensive properties and how to calculate these intensive properties so you may identify unknown substances.

FACTS
Surface Tension
42 drops of water fit on a penny
29 drops of rubbing alcohol fit on a penny
Water has a greater surface tension than rubbing alcohol (The attractive forces in water are greater than the attractive forces in rubbing alcohol).
Substance 1 is water
Substance 2 is rubbing alcohol
