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
