1
Classification of Matter
2
study of the composition and behavior of matter.
Introduction Chemistry study of the composition and behavior of matter.
3
Matter Anything with mass and volume
4
What are some examples of things that are made of matter?
book air water
5
What are some examples of things we can observe that are not made of matter?
fire Light heat
6
Mass The quantity of matter within an object. **Mass is independent of gravity; weight is not!
7
Volume The amount of space an object takes up.
8
We can classify matter:
By physical state (a.k.a. phase) Solid definite shape and volume Liquid definite volume, but takes shape of container
9
Gas takes volume & shape of container Plasma positive ions & stream of electrons
10
What are examples of each of the four states of matter?
11
We can classify matter:
By composition: Element: Cannot be broken down by ordinary chemical means All matter is composed of elements Basic unit of matter
12
Elements: Currently more than 114 known Each has specific properties and characteristics Each has a unique symbol
13
1st is capitalized, 2nd is not
Chemical Symbols: One or two letters 1st is capitalized, 2nd is not often 1st or first 2 letters of the name Carbon C Calcium Ca Boron B Bromine Br
14
Some symbols are derived from their Latin names:
Iron Fe (Ferrum) Sodium Na (Natrium) Silver Ag (Argentum)
15
Compound: A pure, CHEMICALLY bonded combination of at least 2 elements that CAN be broken down by ordinary means into elements Properties of compound are different than its components Has a chemical formula
16
Examples: Water (H2O) Ammonia (NH4) Sodium Chloride (NaCl)
17
All elements and compounds are PURE, and are called SUBSTANCES.
18
Mixture: -- A PHYSICAL combination of at least 2 substances. --Wide variety of composition --Each component of a mixture retain its original properties
19
All mixtures can be separated into their original parts by using physical changes/properties.
20
Two Types of Mixtures 1. Heterogeneous Composition varies in properties and appearance throughout
21
sand in water salt and sugar tap water
What are examples of Heterogenous? sand in water salt and sugar tap water
22
Classification of Matter
Two types of mixtures: 2. Homogeneous uniform throughout (aka – solution)
23
What are examples of Homogenous mixtures?
salt water sugar water air
24
Most mixtures are Heterogeneous.
Homogeneous mixture = Solution All pure substances are Homogeneous.
25
Can it be physically separated?
Matter Flowchart MATTER yes no Can it be physically separated? MIXTURE PURE SUBSTANCE Is the composition uniform? no yes Can it be chemically decomposed? no yes Homogeneous Mixture (solution) Heterogeneous Mixture Compound Element C. Johannesson
26
All matter has useful characteristics called PROPERTIES.
27
Chemical properties describe how a substance reacts to form new substances.
28
Flammability, reactivity, decomposition, metabolic
29
Chemical Change Process where one or more substances change into a new substance What are some examples of chemical changes? Examples: combustion, decomposition, neutralization
30
Physical properties can be measured w/o changing the identity and composition of a substance.
31
Five senses Manipulation Phase Changes Dissolving
32
Physical Change Process that alters a substance with out changing its composition What are some examples of physical changes? Examples: cutting, chopping, dissolving, ripping, bending
33
Indicators of A Chemical Reaction
Formation of a gas (bubbles) Evolution of heat and light Formation of a precipitate
34
*Solid “falls out” of solution.
Precipitate: A solid produced in a chemical reaction in a solution. *Solid “falls out” of solution.
35
Extensive Properties depend on the amount of substance present volume, mass
36
Intensive vs. Extensive Properties
Intensive Properties depend only on the identify of the substance temperature, density, boiling point, melting point
37
Exothermic: Heat is released. Temperature increases (hotter)
38
Endothermic: Heat is absorbed. Temperature decreases (colder)
39
What are examples of exothermic reactions?
What are examples of endothermic reactions?
