Study Notes
Chapter 10: Properties of Matter
- Matter is composed of atoms and molecules
- Elements are pure substances of one kind of atom
- Compounds are combinations of two or more elements
- Molecules can be formed by atoms of the same element (e.g., O2)
Properties of Matter
- Properties describe characteristics of an object
- Physical properties can be observed without changing the substance's composition
- Extensive properties depend on the amount of matter (e.g., mass, volume)
- Intensive properties do not depend on the amount (e.g., density, melting point)
- Intensive properties include color, odor, luster, malleability, ductility, hardness, viscosity, texture, durability, brittleness, elasticity, and ability to conduct heat/electricity
Physical Changes
- Physical changes alter the appearance but not the chemical composition
- Examples include cutting, folding, grinding, bending
Chemical Properties
- Chemical properties describe a substance's ability to undergo chemical changes
- Chemical changes result in the formation of new substances and involve energy exchange (often releasing heat as in combustion)
- Flammability is the ability to catch fire at low temperatures, related to flash point.
- Volatility is the tendency of a liquid to vaporize
- Reaction with water: substances reacting with water and creating new substances
Phases of Matter
- Matter exists in solid, liquid, and gaseous phases
- Solids have definite shape and volume; molecules are tightly packed
- Liquids have definite volume but take the shape of the container; molecules are less tightly packed and can move around each other
- Gases have neither definite shape nor volume; molecules are widely dispersed and move freely
Phase Changes
- Melting: solid to liquid
- Freezing/solidification: liquid to solid
- Vaporization: liquid to gas
- Evaporation: liquid to gas (at any temperature)
- Condensation: gas to liquid
- Sublimation: solid to gas
- Deposition: gas to solid
- Phase changes involve energy transfer
