Study Notes
Matter
- Matter is defined as anything with weight that occupies space.
- It has mass and exists in three main states: solid, liquid, and gas.
- Matter is composed of tiny particles known as molecules.
Composition of Matter
- Molecules can be further divided into smaller units called atoms.
States of Matter
-
Solid
- Strong attraction between molecules results in a fixed shape, size, and volume.
-
Liquid
- Weaker attraction allows molecules to stay together without a fixed shape, enabling flow and adaptation to the shape of the container.
-
Gas
- Very weak attraction allows molecules to move freely, lacking a fixed shape or size.
Phase Changes
- Matter can transition between states by changing temperature:
- Solids melt into liquids.
- Liquids vaporize into gases.
Physical Properties
- Volume refers to the space occupied by an object.
- Mass denotes the amount of matter in a body.
Unique Properties of Water
- Water is unique as it expands upon freezing, making ice occupy more space than liquid water.
Thermal Expansion and Contraction
- Expansion occurs when matter is heated, increasing in size.
- Contraction happens when matter cools, resulting in a decrease in size.
Astronomical Bodies
- Stars are massive balls of hot gases that emit heat and light.
- Planets lack their own heat and light; they appear bright due to reflecting starlight.
- The Sun is categorized as a star because it generates its own heat and light, comprising a large sphere of hot gases.
