Matter: States and Properties
2
What is matter? Matter is anything that has mass and volume (takes up space.)
3
What is a physical property?
A physical property is something that can be observed or measured without changing the matter’s identity. Some physical properties of matter include: mass, weight, volume, density, color, and odor.
4
What is mass? What is volume?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Volume is the amount of space a object takes up.
5
Weight is the pull of gravity on the mass of an object.
What is weight? Weight is the pull of gravity on the mass of an object.
6
What is density? Density is the amount of mass in a given space or volume. D= M/V What has more density: a pound of feathers or a pound of lead? or
7
Why do liquids of different densities form layers?
The densest layer is also the heaviest…it settles on the bottom. Other layers appear in the order of most dense to least dense. Molasses
8
What are the three main states of matter?
A state is a physical form. Matter is commonly either a solid, a liquid or a gas, the three common states of matter.
9
Solids have definite shape and volume.
What is a solid? Solids have definite shape and volume. Two types of solids are: Amorphous: its particles are not arranged in a pattern. Crystalline: its particles have an orderly repeating pattern
10
Amorphous form Solids
11
Crystalline form Solids
12
What is a liquid? State of matter that changes shape but not volume.
Liquids take the shape of their container.
13
What is the container in these photos of a liquid? Water
14
State of matter that changes both shape and volume.
What is a gas? State of matter that changes both shape and volume. Particles spread out as far as container will allow.
15
Gas nebulas
16
What is plasma? Plasma is superheated gas
Plasma can create electrical and magnetic fields.

Changes in Physical Properties
20
How does one state of matter become another?
Matter changes state because of changes in temperature and pressure
23
Ways Matter Changes State:
Melting Melting is the change from a solid to a liquid state Takes place at the melting point Particles move faster Endothermic reaction
24
Ways Matter Changes State:
Freezing Freezing is the change from a liquid to a solid state Takes place at the freezing point Particles slow down Energy removed Exothermic reaction
25
Ways Matter Changes State
Evaporation Evaporation is the change from liquid to gas Evaporation happens at the surface of a liquid *not the same as boiling, which occurs all through the liquid
26
Ways Matter Changes State
Boiling Boiling is the change from liquid to gas Boiling takes place throughout the liquid Occurs when the vapor pressure equals the atmospheric pressure boiling and melting points are the same for any substance Changes with elevation
27
Ways Matter Changes State
Condensation Condensation occurs when a gas changes state to a liquid The condensation point is the temperature and pressure that the gas changes to a liquid. Same temperature as boiling point Condensation is the reverse of evaporation
28
Ways Matter Changes State
Sublimation Sublimation is the change from solid directly to gas Endothermic reaction where energy is gained as it changes state Examples: dry ice and snow packs can sublimate without going through the liquid state
29
Changes in Chemical Properties
30
What is a chemical property?
A chemical property is any characteristic that gives a substance the ability to undergo a change that results in a new substance. Example: A match burns and becomes ash.
31
What is a chemical property?
Chemical properties describe what chemical changes can occur Flammability: the ability to combust or burn Reactivity: the ability to combine with other substances
32
What is a chemical change?
When substances change into new substances that have different properties.
33
Examples of chemical changes
Sour milk
34
Rocket engines
35
Rust
36
Other Examples of Chemical Changes
Include the: combustion (burning) of wood, metabolism of food in the body, mixing an acid and a base such as hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH), cooking an egg, digesting sugar with the amylase in saliva, mixing baking soda and vinegar to produce carbon dioxide gas, baking a cake, electroplating a metal or using a chemical battery!
37
How do you know if a chemical change has occurred?
Signs of a chemical change: 1. Change in odor 2. Heat is released or cooling occurs 3. Sound or light 4. Color 5. Fizzing and foaming
38
Mixtures and Compounds
39
What is a mixture? A mixture is a combination of two or more substances that are not chemically combined Examples: Cowboy pizza (pepperoni, sausage and Canadian bacon) Chorizo Omelette Peanut Butter Sandwich
40
How do you separate a mixture?
Distillation Separates based on different boiling points Evaporation Removal of water Filtration Screening out larger particles Physical Methods Pick out the different substances
41
What is a compound? A compound is a pure substance made up of two or more elements that have been chemically combined
42
What is the difference between Mixtures and Compounds?
Elements combine chemically Elements become new substance with different properties Elements cannot be separated Mixtures: elements mixed, not chemically combined Elements keep their individual properties Elements can be separated
43
A solution is a mixture that appears to be a single substance
What is a solution? A solution is a mixture that appears to be a single substance Particles are evenly distributed among each other Solutions may be liquids, gasses
44
What is an atom? An atom is the smallest particle
into which an element can be divided and still be the same substance. Atoms are composed of even smaller particles
45
Parts of the Atom: Protons are in the nucleus (center) of the atom.
Protons have a positive charge Proton have much of the mass in an atom
46
Parts of the Atom: Neutrons are also in the nucleus of the atom.
Neutrons have no charge Neutrons are also about as massive as protons
47
Parts of the Atom: Electrons are outside the nucleus of the atom are.
Electrons have a negative charge Electrons have very small mass, only about 1/1800 of a proton.
48
What are the properties of elements?
Elements are made up of a single type of atom. Their properties include: Density, or mass/volume Melting Point, the temperature of a solid changes to liquid Conductivity, the ability to carry electrons. Hardness, or how resistant to scratching a substance is Color, determined by what wavelengths of light are absorbed
49
How are elements classified?
Metals: Found to the left of the zig zag line on periodic table Most elements are metals Most are solid at room temperature Have few electrons in outer levels
50
How are elements classified?
Nonmetals: Found to the right of zig zag line Many are gasses at room temperature Have nearly complete set of electrons in outer levels.
51
How are elements classified?
Metalloids: Found on border of the zigzag line on the periodic table Have about half the electrons in outer levels. Have some properties of both metals and nonmetals
53
The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom
What is a mass number? The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom
54
What is atomic mass? Some elements occur with different numbers of neutrons and have different masses The atomic mass is the average weighted mass of all naturally-occurring isotopes of an element.
55
What is an isotope? An isotope is a form of an element that has a different number of neutrons than protons Isotopes are often unstable and radioactive.
56
How are elements arranged?
Elements are arranged in groups in the Periodic Table Periodic table elements repeat in a pattern of every 7 elements Pattern was observed by Mendeleev, who developed the periodic table
57
How is the Periodic Table arranged?
Periods Periods are horizontal rows on the periodic table. Physical and chemical properties repeat in a pattern Slowly change as you move across the row.
58
How is the Periodic Table arranged?
Groups Columns on the periodic table are called groups. Elements in the same group same number of electrons in their outer shells They have like properties
59
How is the Periodic Table arranged?
Families Families are groups Families have similar properties and are grouped together in columns on the periodic table Examples: Alkali metals Alkaline-earth metals Transition metals boron group and carbon group Noble gases
61
How do different elements combine to form substances?
Bonding Bonding holds two atoms together Chemical bonds are formed when atoms electrons are shared, gained or lost
62
How do different elements combine to form substances?
Valence electrons Electrons in the outermost energy level Only electrons used in chemical bonding Come in sets of 8
63
How do different elements combine to form substances?
Ions Atoms that have lost or gained an electron are ions. Metals are likely to loose electrons and become positively-charged ions Non-metals are likely to bond with metals
64
What is an ionic bond? Ionic bonds hold compounds together with the force of attraction between positive and negative charges The number of electrons lost by a positive ion equals the number of electrons gained by the negative ion
65
What is an ionic bond?
66
What is a covalent bond? Covalent bonds form when atoms in a compound share one or more electrons. Covalent bonds result in low melting and boiling points. Molecules created from covalent bonds are often brittle as solids.
