2. Chemical and Physical Properties

3. Terms like gases, liquids, solids and plasma are really referring to matter
Matter: anything that takes up space (has volume) and has mass
Everything that makes up physical and chemical world is matter
Property: characteristic that helps us identify a person, place, or thing

4. Chemical Properties
Chemical properties: describe how a substance reacts with other substances. Can be qualitative or quantitative
Qualitative: descriptors that give non numerical values colour, size (big, small) etc.
Quantitative: can be given a numerical value like time, volume, or temperature

5. Example of a Physical properties
The colour of this firetruck is red. Red is a physical property of the firetruck.

6. Class Question:
What are the two ways chemical properties are classified?

7. Answer:
Qualitative and quantitative properties

8. Observed without changing its physical make up
Physical Properties
The hardness and colour of a substance are both physical properties
physical properties can also be qualitative or quantitative
properties that do not change the chemical make up of matter
Observed without changing its physical make up

9. Compressibility
High pressure molecules are more influence by unpleasant forces
property of a substance that allows it to be compressed
Solids and liquids have little space between the particles and are more difficult to compress

10. Example:
Inflating your tires, you compress gas to increase the pressure on the tire.

11. Question:
Why are solids and liquids more harder to compress?

12. Answer:
Solids and liquids have little space between the particles and are more difficult to compress

13. Density
The idea of density is usually demonstrated by a comparison such as:
Two identical boxes that have the same volume but different materials Box A has lead and Box B has feathers.
You can predict that the box of lead will have a greater mass than the box of feathers.
Having a greater mass for the same volume tells us that lead is a denser material than feathers.
Every substance has its own density so its density becomes a property of the substance
Every sample of the same pure element should have the same density.

14. Density
Box A is filled with platinum and box b is filled with Styrofoam. Box a and box b both have the same volume and are identical. which material is more dense? Box A is more dense.

15. Diffusion Diffusion: Is the movement of one substance through another.
Diffusion is not just limited to gasses, diffusion also occurs commonly in solids and liquids.
When you smell food from another room, this is an example of diffusion. Diffusion also allows scents to spread easily through the air.

16. Diffusion
Remember!: When it comes to diffusion, substances diffuse from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration
Also, lighter particles diffuse more quickly than heavier particles

17. The Four States of Matter

18. Plasma Gaseous mixture of positive ions and electrons
Temperatures range from relatively cool to very dense and hot
The universe is 99% plasma
4th state of matter (the uncommon state)

19. Plasma examples Lightning Stars
Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) -170 degrees celsius
Plasma T.V.'s (plasma manufactured in laboratories at 100 million degrees celsius)
