    What is Chemistry about?

    The study of the properties, composition, structure, and transformations of substances (elements and compounds), along with the energy changes involved.

    What are physical properties?

    These are characteristics that can be observed or measured without changing the substance's chemical composition.

    What are chemical properties?

    These describe how a substance reacts with other substances or changes its chemical composition.

    What are the states of matter?

    Solid, liquid, gas, and plasma are the four states of matter, each with unique properties.

    What is the structure of a water molecule?

    The molecule of water consists of two atoms of hydrogen (H) and one atom of oxygen (O), represented by the chemical formula H2O. This simple structure gives water its unique properties.

    What is the role of the sun in the water cycle?

    The energy from the sun drives the water cycle. It heats the surface of the Earth, causing evaporation of water. This evaporated water then condenses into clouds, eventually leading to precipitation.

    Study Notes

    Chemistry Context - Grade 7

    • Chemistry is the science of substances' properties, composition, and structure, including transformations and energy changes.
    • Physical properties of matter include length, color, density, mass, elasticity, pressure, and volume.
    • Chemical properties of matter include toxicity, oxidation, heat of combustion, stability, flammability, coordination number, and reactivity, along with chemical bonds and enthalpy of formation.
    • States of matter are solids, liquids, gases, and plasma.
      • Solids have rigid structure with fixed shape and volume; molecules vibrate within limited space.
      • Liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container; molecules flow.
      • Gases have no fixed shape or volume; molecules move freely.
      • Plasma is a high-temperature state where atoms lose electrons, forming a mix of electrons and nuclei.

    Changes of State

    • Matter changes state through various processes:
      • Melting (solid to liquid)
      • Freezing (liquid to solid)
      • Evaporation (liquid to gas)
      • Condensation (gas to liquid)
      • Deposition (gas to solid)
      • Sublimation (solid to gas)

    Melting and Freezing Points

    • Melting point is the temperature where a substance changes from solid to liquid.
    • Freezing point is the temperature where a substance changes from liquid to solid.
    • Pure water's melting and freezing point is 0°C.

    Boiling Point

    • Boiling point is the temperature where a liquid changes to a gas (vapor).
    • Pure water's boiling point is 100°C.

    Water Properties

    • Water is essential for life, covering 70% of Earth's surface.
    • It's a major component of living organisms (up to 95%).
    • The chemical symbol for water is H₂O.
    • A water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
    • Water is a universal solvent, dissolving many substances.
    • Most abundant form of water on Earth is saltwater.
    • The water cycle involves continuous movement of water on, above, and below Earth's surface.

    Mixtures

    • Mixtures result from combining two or more substances.
      • Mixtures can be homogeneous (uniform composition; components not easily identified) or heterogeneous (non-uniform; components distinct).
    • Solutions are homogeneous mixtures.
      • Solutions are made of a solvent (usually more abundant) and a solute (dissolved substance).
    • Components of mixtures can be present in various proportions.
