1
Matter
2
Anything that has mass (grams) and occupies space (volume). Volume: a measure of the size of a body or region in three dimensional space. Solid Volume (of a cube or rectangle): Length x width x height cm x cm x cm = cm 3
3
Matter Liquid volume is found by using a graduated cylinder Gas volume is the same as the container it fills.
4
Matter Mass – quantity of matter contained in an object. Measured on a balance in grams, mg, etc. WEIGHT is not mass! Weight is the gravitational force exerted on an object! It’s value can change from place to place. MASS is the same everywhere!
5
Matter Physical property: A characteristic of a substance that does NOT involve a chemical change Examples: Density Color Hardness Mass Volume
6
Matter Density Mass and volume depend upon how much substance you have. The relationship between these two properties is called DENSITY. Density can be used to help identify a substance.
7
Matter Formula for density: Density = Mass = g or g Volume mL cm 3 Also written as: D = m V
8
Matter Classification: All matter is made of atoms. Atom: smallest unit of an element that maintains the properties of that element.
9
Matter Two classifications: 1.Pure substances Can be an element (gold) or a compound (water) Has definite physical and chemical properties 2.Mixture A combination of two substances that are NOT chemically combined (rocks and marbles)
10
Matter Element – a pure substance that contain only one kind of atom Silver Copper
11
Matter Some elements exist at molecules Molecule – two or more atoms combined in a definite ratio. Oxygen: O 2 Ozone: O 3
12
Matter The oxygen molecule and ozone molecule are allotropes Allotrope: a structurally different form of an element Carbon Pencil Lead Diamonds
13
Matter Compound Composed of two or more atoms Example: Magnesium Chloride and Cobalt Chloride Cobalt Chloride 1 atom of Cobalt 2 atoms of Chlorine CoCl 2 Magnesium Chloride 1 atom of Magnesium 2 atoms of Chlorine MgCl 2
14
Matter Mixtures Contain two or more pure substances Does not always have the same balance of ingredients Example: air Contains oxygen, nitrogen, etc.
15
Matter Mixtures: two types 1.Homogeneous: pure substances are mixed evenly throughout 2. Heterogeneous: contains substances that are not evenly mixed Iron and Sulfur Milk
16
Matter Distinguishing mixtures from compounds Compounds: 1. Two or more elements chemically combined 2. Have a definite composition 3. Properties of a compound are different than the properties of the elements that make it up. Mixtures: 1.Two or more substances physically mixed together 2.Substances may be present in varying proportions 3.Properties of the mixture reflect the properties of the substances it contains.
