Study Notes
Matter
- Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass.
- The fundamental building block of matter is the atom.
- Matter can be classified into elements and compounds.
- Elements are the basic building blocks of matter, while compounds are formed when two or more different elements are chemically bonded.
- Organic compounds contain carbon bonded with other elements, while inorganic compounds are all other compounds.
- Atoms can combine to form molecules.
- Matter exists in three states: solid, liquid, and gas.
- Solids have fixed locations and closely packed particles.
- Liquids have closely packed particles that can move freely.
- Gases have particles with large distances between them and free movement.
- Matter can be classified into pure substances and mixtures.
- Pure substances have only one type of atom or molecule, while mixtures have two or more different types of atoms or molecules.
- Mixtures can be homogeneous (uniform composition) or heterogeneous (varied composition).
Distinguishing Matter
- We use physical properties (properties displayed without changing composition) and chemical properties (properties that require composition change) to differentiate matter.
- Physical changes alter appearance without changing composition, while chemical changes involve changes in composition.
- Chemical changes occur through chemical reactions where reactants become products.
- The Law of Conservation of Matter states that matter is neither created nor destroyed during ordinary chemical reactions.
Energy
- Energy is the capacity to do work, which is the result of a force acting over a distance.
- There are two types of energy: potential energy (energy due to position or composition) and kinetic energy (energy due to motion).
- Total energy is the sum of potential and kinetic energy.
- The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
- Some examples of energy transformations include converting potential energy in a dam to kinetic energy in flowing water, or chemical energy in gasoline to kinetic energy in a car.
