Matter
2
Matter is anything that Has mass Takes up space (has volume)
What is Matter? Matter is anything that Has mass Takes up space (has volume)
3
Classifying Matter Four basic categories of matter
Pure substances (made of one type of atom/molecule) Element Compound Mixtures (2+ materials physically combined) Homogeneous Heterogeneous
4
Element The simplest form of matter All one kind of atom
Found on the Periodic Table Examples: oxygen, carbon, phosphorus
5
Compound Two or more elements chemically bonded together
Have completely different properties than the original elements Can only be broken down by chemical means Example: water (H2O)
6
Mixtures Mixtures are made of two or more substances physically combined. Can be either Heterogeneous Homogeneous Every part of a mixture keeps its own properties (does not form a new substance). Every mixture can be separated physically!
7
Heterogeneous Mixtures
The mixture is not uniform (the same) in composition. You can easily pick out the different pieces. Examples: chocolate chip cookie, gravel, tossed salad, trail mix, air
8
Homogeneous Mixture Same composition throughout the mixture
It looks like one substance even though it is actually two or more! Examples: kool-aid, salt water, brass
9
Solutions, Colloids, Suspensions
Homogeneous mixtures Solution (dissolved/transparent particles) Heterogeneous mixtures Colloid (looks cloudy; particles will not settle to bottom of mixture) Suspension (larger particles; will settle to bottom)
10
Separating Mixtures
11
Separating Mixtures Since all mixtures are physically put together, they can be physically separated. Methods include: Using magnets Filtration Chromatography Distillation
12
Magnets If one part of your mixture is magnetic, you can use magnets to separate it. Example: magnets are used in landfills to separate out magnetic objects for recycling.
13
Filtration Separates particles by size Water filters
Air filters/face masks Colanders
14
Chromatography Components of dyes such as ink may be separated by paper chromatography. Ink particles flow through the filter paper at different speeds so the different pigments separate.
15
Distillation Distillation separates mixtures based on different boiling points. Example: water is distilled to remove impurities
16
States of Matter
17
States of Matter Solid- definite shape and definite volume Liquid
Takes the shape of its container Gas- no definite shape or volume Plasma- like a supercharged gas
18
Kinetic Theory of Matter
All matter is made of atoms Atoms are constantly in motion As heat increases, so does energy particles move faster Gas Liquid Solid Temperature Energy
19
Three Main Phases
20
Amorphous Solids Have characteristics of solids and liquids
Ex: peanut butter, cellophane, rubber Do not have a defined melting point but are softened as temperature increases Their atomic structures are less rigid and organized in structure than typical crystalline solids
21
Non-Newtonian Fluids Fluids that change their viscosity (thickness) under stress. Applying force to these fluids causes them to either become thicker or runnier. When the stress is removed, they will return to their earlier state.
