I. Introduction Everything around you is composed of matter. Besides matter, energy is the other major component of our universe.
4
II. Matter Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass. Some matter is easy to see (water, wood), others are difficult (air, dust). The most basic building block of matter is the atom.
5
II. Atoms and Molecules atoms: submicroscopic particles that are the fundamental building blocks of all matter. Sometimes, atoms are bonded together to form molecules. molecules: two or more atoms joined to one another in specific geometric arrangements.
6
II. Atomic and Molecular Matter
7
II. Actual Images of Atoms and Molecules
8
II. States of Matter Matter can be classified by its state. solid: closely-packed particles with fixed locations liquid: closely-packed particles, but free to move around gas: great distances between particles with free movement
9
II. States of Matter
10
II. The Solid State
11
II. Properties of Different States
12
II. Pure Substances and Mixtures Matter can be classified by its composition. pure substance: matter composed of only one type of atom or molecule mixture: matter composed of two or more different types of atoms or molecules which may vary in proportion
13
II. Elements element: a pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances
14
II. Compounds compound: a pure substance composed of two or more elements in fixed definite proportions.
15
II. Mixtures Most matter exists in this form. heterogeneous: varied composition from one region to another homogeneous: uniform composition throughout
16
II. Classification by Composition
17
II. Sample Problem Classify the following as a pure substance or mixture. Further classify them as an element, compound, homogeneous, or heterogeneous. a)blood b)sugar c)mercury in a thermometer d)chicken noodle soup
18
III. Distinguishing Matter We use physical and chemical properties to tell the difference between samples of matter. physical property: a property a substance displays without changing its composition chemical property: a property a substance displays only by changing its composition
19
III. Boiling Point of Water At the boiling point, water is converted to steam, but steam is just a different form of water.
20
III. An Iron Nail Rusts When iron rusts, it must react and incorporate oxygen to become a new compound.
21
III. Sample Problem Identify the following as physical or chemical properties. a)Hydrogen gas is explosive. b)Silver has a shiny appearance. c)Dry ice sublimes (goes from solid directly to vapor). d)Copper turns green when exposed to air.
22
III. Physical/Chemical Changes Physical/chemical changes are closely related to definitions of physical/chemical properties. physical change: matter changes its appearance, but not its composition chemical change: matter changes its composition Chemical changes occur through chemical reactions in which reactants become products.
23
III. Physical/Chemical Changes
24
III. Sample Problem Categorize the following as either a physical or chemical change. a)Copper metal forming a blue solution when dropped in concentrated nitric acid. b)A train flattening a penny. c)A match igniting a firework. d)Ice melting into liquid water.
25
IV. There is No New Matter In ordinary chemical reactions, matter is neither created nor destroyed. Known as Conservation of Mass.
26
V. Energy Physical and chemical changes are accompanied by energy changes. energy: the capacity to do work work: results from a force acting on a distance
27
V. Two Types of Energy potential energy (PE): energy due to the position or composition of the object kinetic energy (KE): energy due to motion of the object An object’s total energy is the sum of its PE and KE
28
V. Energy Conversions The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy is neither created nor destroyed. Energy can change from one form to another or transferred from one object to another.
29
V. Specific Types of Energy Electrical energy is the energy associated with the flow of electrical charge. Thermal energy is the energy associated with motions of particles of matter. Chemical energy is a form of PE associated with positions of particles in a chemical system.
30
V. Energy Diagrams Chemical reactions can either be exothermic or endothermic. exothermic: release energy to surroundings endothermic: absorb energy from surroundings
31
V. Sample Problem Identify the following changes as exothermic or endothermic. a)Water freezing into ice. b)Propane burning. c)Isopropyl alcohol evaporating from skin.
32
VI. Thermal Energy Atoms and molecules of matter are in constant, random motion, which is the source of thermal energy. More motion = more thermal energy. Is there a way to easily measure this motion?
33
VI. Temperature and Heat Temperature is the measure of the thermal energy of a substance. The hotter an object, the greater the motion of its particles, and the greater the thermal energy. Heat is the transfer or exchange of thermal energy caused by a temperature difference.
