Study Notes
Classifications of Matter
- Mixtures are substances with varying compositions.
-
Pure Substances have uniform composition.
-
Heterogeneous Mixtures have components that can be identified.
- Examples include garden salad and trail mix.
-
Colloids have properties similar to homogeneous mixtures but are heterogeneous when subjected to tests.
- Examples include milk and styling gel.
-
Homogeneous Mixtures (Solutions) have very uniform compositions.
- Examples include brine (saltwater) and orange juice drink.
-
Heterogeneous Mixtures have components that can be identified.
-
Elements are pure substances composed of only one type of atom.
- Examples include Darmstadtium (Ds) and Hydrogen (H).
-
Compounds are substances composed of molecules formed from two or more elements.
- Examples include Aqua Fortis (HNCO3) and Water (H2O).
Phases of Matter
- Solid has a defined shape and minimal molecular movement due to its rigid molecular structure. Example: Diamond.
- Liquid has molecular movement dictated by its flow rate. It takes the shape of its container due to its loose molecular structure. Example: Lemon juice.
- Gas has high molecular movement with a looser structure than liquid. Example: Air we breathe.
- Plasma has very high molecular movement. It forms from gas due to heat energy absorption and release, causing molecules to move faster. High temperature plasmas glow. Example: Neon light fixtures.
Phase Transitions
- Phase transitions occur when heat is introduced, causing molecules to absorb energy and increase movement. Removing heat causes molecules to lose energy and compact.
- Melting: Adding heat to a solid, transforming it into a liquid. Example: Melting iron to reform solid blocks.
- Evaporation: Adding heat to a liquid, breaking molecular bonds and transforming it into a gas. Example: Evaporating saltwater to extract salt.
- Ionization: Adding heat to a gas, energizing molecules and charging them into ions (plasma is composed of ions). Example: Heating neon gas in a tube to cause it to glow.
- Recombination (Deionization): Removing heat from plasma, returning ions to a ground state, reverting to a gas. Example: Neon plasma deionizing back to gas when it cools.
- Condensation: Gas molecules transfer energy to the surroundings, forming bonds and coalescing into a liquid. Example: Water vapor condensing into liquid water to form clouds.
- Freezing: Liquids transfer heat to the surroundings, forcing molecules to reform and bond into a solid. Example: Mercury solidifying when poured with liquid nitrogen.
- Sublimation: Adding energy to a solid, directly transforming it into a gas without going through the liquid phase. Example: Dry ice sublimating into carbon dioxide gas.
