Study Notes
Matter: Properties, Composition, and Changes
- Matter is anything with mass and occupies space, with properties that can change under different conditions.
- Changes in matter can be categorized as physical or chemical.
Physical Change
- Involves alteration of physical form without changing the substance's composition.
- Examples include phase changes (e.g., melting, freezing) and cutting an object.
Chemical Change
- Occurs when a substance is transformed into a different substance.
- Involves processes such as combustion, oxidation, and hydrolysis.
- Indicators include change in color, formation of precipitates or bubbles, and energy absorption or release.
States of Matter
- Solid: Rigid with a definite shape and volume; not significantly affected by temperature or pressure changes.
- Liquid: Flows and takes the shape of its container; volume remains relatively constant with temperature and pressure variations.
- Gas: Fills its container completely, expands infinitely, and is easily compressed.
New States of Matter
- Plasma: Formed by heating atoms to the point where they split into free ions and electrons.
- Liquid-Crystal: Intermediate state between liquid and solid, exhibiting fluidity with regular arrangements.
- Bose-Einstein Condensate: Exists at absolute zero conditions, where atoms occupy the same quantum state.
Energy Types
- Potential Energy: Energy due to an object's position or energy released during chemical reactions.
- Kinetic Energy: Energy in motion, which can be transformed into potential energy and vice versa.
Properties of Matter
- Physical Property: Observable without altering the substance, including color, melting point, and density.
- Chemical Property: Describes how a substance interacts with others, indicating reactivity, corrosion, and flammability.
- Distinction between extensive properties (depend on amount, e.g., volume, mass) and intensive properties (independent of amount, e.g., color, melting point).
Measurement of Matter
- Accuracy: How close a measurement is to the true value, with a goal of low systematic error.
- Precision: Closeness of multiple measurements to each other, aiming for low random error to ensure reproducibility.
