Study Notes
MATTER AND ENERGY
- Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space
- Matter is composed of atoms, not energy phenomena or waves
- Matter is viewed macroscopically (large scale, observed with naked eye) or microscopically (small scale, requires lenses/microscopes)
- Matter is not the same as mass – mass is a quantitative property of matter
WHAT IS MATTER?
- Matter is composed of atoms
- Atoms combine to form elements
- Elements combine to form compounds
- There are 118 types of atoms known
- Elements are substances composed of a single type of atom and cannot be broken down
- Compounds are substances composed of two or more different elements in fixed proportions
- Matter exists as solid, liquid, or gas (and plasma)
- The state of matter (solid, liquid, gas) is a physical property
CLASSIFYING MATTER ACCORDING TO ITS STATE—SOLID, LIQUID, AND GAS
- Solids have a definite shape and volume
- Liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container
- Gases have neither a definite shape nor volume
- Plasma is a fourth state of matter
CLASSIFYING MATTER ACCORDING TO ITS COMPOSITION
- Matter is classified into pure substances and mixtures
- Pure substances have a constant composition and properties throughout
- Elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances
- Compounds are composed of two or more different elements in fixed proportions
- Mixtures are combinations of two or more substances that retain their individual identities and can be separated by physical means
- Homogeneous mixtures have a uniform composition and properties like saltwater (solution)
- Heterogeneous mixtures have a non-uniform composition and properties like vegetable soup
DIFFERENCES IN MATTER - PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
- Physical properties can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance, like color, density, hardness, melting point, boiling point
- Chemical properties describe a substance's ability to undergo a chemical change or reaction
- Chemical changes create new substances different from the original ones
CHANGES IN MATTER - PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL CHANGES
- Physical changes do not change the identity of a substance—like phase changes
- Chemical changes create new substances with different properties—like burning
CONSERVATION OF MASS - THERE IS NO NEW MATTER
- The law of conservation of mass states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
- Mass before and after a chemical reaction remains constant.
ENERGY
- Energy is the ability to do work or produce heat
- Two types of energy are kinetic and potential
- Kinetic energy is associated with motion
- The faster and heavier an object is, the greater its kinetic energy
- Potential energy depends on an object's position
- This includes chemical potential energy from the chemical bonds of matter.
ENERGY AND CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL CHANGE
- Energy is transferred from one object to another as work or heat
- Endothermic processes absorb heat from the surroundings
- Exothermic processes release heat to the surroundings
TEMPERATURE - RANDOM MOTION OF MOLECULES AND ATOMS
- Temperature measures average kinetic energy
- Different scales to measure temperature exist (Fahrenheit, Celsius, Kelvin)
- The Kelvin scale is based on molecular motion
