What’s the MATTER, Properties of Matter
2
Matter, Properties of Matter At the conclusion of our time together, you should be able to: 1. Explain the difference between the extensive and intensive properties and other types of properties 2. Distinguish between a physical property and chemical property
3
Too late to learn this stuff???
4
The Nature of Matter Chemists are interested in the nature of matter and how this is related to its atoms and molecules. GoldMercury
5
Chemistry & Matter We can explore the MACROSCOPIC world — what we can see — to understand the PARTICULATE worlds we cannot see. We write SYMBOLS to describe these worlds.

8
Properties of Matter 2 Types: Extensive – depend on the amount of the sample Always involves a number with unit Examples =volume mass length
9
Properties of Matter (cont.) Intensive – does not depend on the amount of the sample Usually does not involve a number Examples =density melting, boiling point malleability ductility color odor
10
Properties Every substance has a unique set of properties (characteristics that identify that substance) Physical Properties- Properties that can be measured without changing the identity and composition of the substance
11
Physical Property Examples- Color Odor Density Melting Point Boiling Point Hardness Solubility

A Stick What Do You Call a Boomerang That Doesn't Work?
13
Graphite — this layer structure of carbon atoms reflects its physical properties. List Some Physical Properties of:
14
Chemical Properties Properties that describe the way a substance may change to form other substances Only observed when a chemical reaction takes place
15
Chemical Property Examples Combustible Reactive with water or acid Flammable Corrosive Decomposes in air
16
Do I Have to Learn this Stuff???
17
Physical vs. Chemical Properties Physical Properties- Properties that can be measured without changing the identity and composition of the substance Chemical Properties- Properties that can be measured by changing the identity and composition of the substance
18
Matter, Properties of Matter Let’s see if you can: 1. Explain the difference between the extensive and intensive properties and other types of properties 2. Distinguish between a physical property and chemical property
19
Design a Hypothesis
20
Properties of Matter 2 Types: Extensive – depends on the amount of the sample Intensive – does not depend on the amount of the sample
21
Physical vs. Chemical Properties Physical Properties- Properties that can be measured without changing the identity and composition of the substance Chemical Properties- Properties that can be measured by changing the identity and composition of the substance
22
Physical vs. Chemical Property Examples: melts at 55 o F flammable will tear easily will dissolve in water will tarnish physical chemical physical chemical
23
Examples: will rust mixture can be separated by boiling burns freezes at -20 o C can be crushed Physical vs. Chemical Properties chemical physical chemical physical
