Study Notes
Cell Control Center
- The nucleus is the control center of the cell
- It contains DNA, which carries the genetic instructions for the cell's activities.
Movement Tissue
- Muscle tissue is responsible for movement in the body.
- There are different types of muscle tissue, each with its specific function.
Basic Unit of Matter
- The atom is the basic unit of matter.
- It is the smallest unit of an element that retains the chemical properties of that element.
Newton's First Law
- Newton's first law of motion states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a net force.
Resistance to Change
- Inertia is the property of matter that resists changes in its motion.
- Objects with greater mass have greater inertia.
Definition of Matter
- Matter is defined as anything that has mass and occupies space.
- Exists in three states: solid, liquid, and gas.
Characteristics of Matter
- Mass: The quantity of matter in an object.
- Volume: The amount of space matter occupies.
- Density: The mass per unit volume of a substance (Density = Mass/Volume).
States of Matter
- Solid: Has a fixed shape and volume. Particles are tightly packed and vibrate in place.
- Liquid: Has a fixed volume but takes the shape of its container. Particles are close together and can slide past each other. Less dense than solids.
- Gas: Has no fixed shape or volume. Expands to fill the container. Particles are far apart and move freely. Much less dense than solids and liquids.
Changes in State of Matter
- Melting: The process of a solid changing into a liquid (e.g., ice to water).
- Freezing: The process of a liquid changing into a solid (e.g., water to ice).
- Evaporation: The process of a liquid changing into a gas (e.g., water to vapor).
- Condensation: The process of a gas changing into a liquid (e.g., vapor to water).
- Sublimation: The process of a solid changing directly into a gas (e.g., dry ice to carbon dioxide gas).
- Deposition: The process of a gas changing directly into a solid (e.g., frost formation).
Properties of Matter
- Physical Properties: Characteristics that can be observed without changing the substance (e.g., color, odor, boiling point).
- Chemical Properties: Describe how matter reacts or changes to form new substances (e.g., reactivity with acids).
Classification of Matter
-
Pure Substances:
- Elements: Simplest form of matter. Composed of only one type of atom (e.g., oxygen, hydrogen).
- Compounds: Substances formed from two or more elements chemically bonded (e.g., water, salt).
-
Mixtures: A combination of two or more substances that are not chemically bonded.
- Homogeneous Mixtures: Have a uniform composition throughout (e.g., saltwater).
- Heterogeneous Mixtures: Have a non-uniform composition (e.g., salad, sand in water).
Measurement of Matter
- Standard units are used to measure matter (e.g., grams for mass, liters for volume).
- Accuracy and precision are important in scientific measurements.
Importance of Matter in Daily Life
- Understanding matter is essential for chemistry and related fields.
- Applications in cooking, medicine, environmental science, and materials science.
