Study Notes
What is Chemistry?
- Study of characteristics, composition, and transformations of matter.
- Matter is defined as anything that possesses mass and occupies space.
- Encompasses all entities, both living (e.g., plants, bacteria) and nonliving (e.g., soil, air).
Properties of Matter
- Mass: Amount of matter in a sample.
- Physical Properties: Can be observed without changing the substance. Examples include:
- Density
- Color
- Melting point
- Solids, liquids, gases, plasma
- Chemical Properties: Describe composition and reactivity of matter, altering the substance upon observation.
States of Matter
- The state (solid, liquid, gas, plasma) of a particular substance is influenced by:
- Temperature
- Surrounding Pressure
- Strength of forces holding particles together
- Water can exist simultaneously in all three states (solid, liquid, gas).
Transformations of Matter
- Physical Changes: Alter physical properties without changing chemical composition. Examples include:
- Tearing paper
- Ice melting into water
- Water vaporizing into steam
- Chemical Changes: Involve changes in chemical properties, producing new substances during reactions.
Additional Concepts
- Extensive properties: Depend on the amount of matter present (e.g., mass, volume).
- Intensive properties: Do not depend on the amount of matter (e.g., density, color).
