1
Types of Matter
2
Matter can be classified
3
Matter Anything that has mass and takes up space
Anything made from atoms Examples: Molecules Cells People Air Water
4
Pure Substances versus Mixtures
Matter is classified as either a pure substance or a mixture Pure Substances Mixtures Every piece of matter is the same More than one type of matter mixed together
5
Elements versus Compounds
Pure substances are either elements or compounds Elements Compound Every atom is the same type of atom More than one type of atom chemically bonded together. Every molecule is the same.
6
Elements can be found on the periodic table!
Single Atom Cannot be separated by chemical or physical processes Element Pure substance Every atom is the same Elements can be found on the periodic table!
7
Every molecule is the same
Compounds Single Molecule Made of more than one type of atom bonded together Compound Pure substance Every molecule is the same Can be separated by chemical reactions only
8
Mixtures Homogeneous Heterogeneous (aka “solution”)
Mixtures can be classified as homogeneous or heterogeneous Homogeneous (aka “solution”) Heterogeneous It looks the same throughout Different matter can be seen (chunks, bubbles, floaties, layers, etc.)
9
Physical combination of more than 1 type of pure substance
Mixtures >1 different type of matter Can be separated chemically or physically. For example the oil and water was physically separated in Cleaning up an Oil Spill Mixture Not a pure substance Physical combination of more than 1 type of pure substance
10
Mixture possibilities
Mixtures can be any combination of solids, liquids and gases: Solid-solid: Medicine tablet Solid-gas: Pop Rocks candy Solid-liquid: Ice water Liquid-liquid: Lemon water Gas-Liquid: Carbonated water Gas-Gas: Air
11
True solutions, Colloids & Suspensions
Particles don’t settle out and are too small to scatter light Particles don’t settle out but are large enough to scatter light Particles will settle out over time Dissolved Particle Size Increases
12
Particles Scattering Light
If the dissolved particles are large enough to scatter light, we say it exhibits the “Tyndall Effect” Solution Light passes through unchanged Colloids exhibit the Tyndall Effect Light is scattered by larger solute particles

DO NOT WRITE ANYTHING DOWN FROM THIS SLIDE!
Leave a few lines of space to add information you will receive in class DO NOT WRITE ANYTHING DOWN FROM THIS SLIDE!
14
Properties of Matter
15
Physical versus Chemical Properties
Physical Property Chemical Property Can be observed or tested without changing the atoms or molecules In the process of observing or testing, the atoms or molecules are changed into different substance(s)
16
Intensive and Extensive Properties
Intensive Property Extensive Property Size of the sample doesn’t matter—you’d say a big piece and a small piece were the same with respect to this property Size of the sample does matter—a big piece and a small piece would be different with respect to this property

18
States of Matter
19
Solid Closely packed together particles Vibrate in place
Can’t switch places Definite shape Definite volume
20
Liquid Particles more spread out than solid
Particles are free to move past each other Slightly compressible Definite volume No definite shape – take shape of container
21
Gas Particles very spread out Rapid, random motion Highly compressible
No definite volume—they will fill container No definite shape—take shape of container
22
Changes in State Gas Increasing molecular motion (temperature) Liquid
Sublimation Boiling or Evaporating Liquid Melting Deposition Condensing Solid Freezing
23
Temperature of state changes
Freezing point = melting point Boiling point = condensation point
24
What’s between the particles?
Nothing! There is absolutely nothing between the particles!
