Study Notes
Classification of Matter
- Matter can be classified into three main categories:
- Solids: Have a fixed shape and volume, particles are closely packed.
- Liquids: Have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container, particles are close but can move past each other.
- Gases: Have neither a fixed shape nor volume, particles are widely spaced and can move freely.
Types of Matter
- Elements: Substances that consist of only one type of atom, e.g., hydrogen, oxygen, carbon.
- Compounds: Substances that consist of two or more different elements, e.g., water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2).
- Mixtures: Physical combinations of two or more substances, e.g., air, soil, blood.
Physical Properties of Matter
- State: The physical form of matter, e.g., solid, liquid, gas.
- Density: The mass of a substance per unit volume, e.g., density of water is 1 g/cm3.
- Boiling Point: The temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas.
- Melting Point: The temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid.
Changes in Matter
- Physical Change: A change in which the substance remains the same but its physical properties change, e.g., ice → water → steam.
- Chemical Change: A change in which the substance transforms into a new substance, e.g., rusting of iron, burning of wood.
Characteristics of Particles of Matter
- Particles of Matter: The tiny building blocks of matter, e.g., atoms, molecules, ions.
- Particle Motion: The movement of particles in a substance, which affects its physical properties.
- Interparticle Forces: The attractive and repulsive forces between particles, which influence the physical properties of a substance.

- State is the physical form of matter, which can be solid, liquid, or gas.
- Density is the mass of a substance per unit volume, for example, the density of water is 1 g/cm3.
- Boiling point is the temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas.
- Melting point is the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid.
