Study Notes

Classifications of Matter

Mixture: Substance with varying compositions.
- Heterogeneous Mixture: Components can be identified (e.g., garden salad, trail mix).
- Colloid: Appears homogeneous but is heterogeneous under tests (e.g., milk, styling gel).
- Homogeneous Mixture (Solution): Very uniform composition (e.g., brine, orange juice).
Pure Substance: Consistent composition.
- Element: Composed of one type of atom (e.g., Darmstadtium, Hydrogen).
- Compound: Made of molecules, combining 2 or more elements (e.g., Aqua Fortis (HNCO₃), water (H₂O)).

Phases of Matter

Solid: Defined shape, minimal molecular movement; has a rigid structure (e.g., diamond).
Liquid: Takes the shape of its container; molecular movement is more fluid (e.g., lemon juice).
Gas: High molecular movement; loosely structured; expands to fill its container (e.g., air).
Plasma: Highly energized state, resulting from gas heating; characterized by glowing (e.g., neon lights).

Phase Transitions of Matter

Melting: Solid to liquid transition from added heat (e.g., melting iron).
Evaporation: Liquid to gas transition due to heat, breaking molecular bonds (e.g., saltwater evaporation).
Ionization: Gas to plasma transition from energy addition, charging molecules (e.g., glowing neon gas).
Recombination: Plasma to gas transition via heat removal, also known as deionization (e.g., cooling neon plasma).
Condensation: Gas to liquid transition caused by energy transfer, forming bonds (e.g., water vapor to clouds).
Freezing: Liquid to solid transition from heat removal, where molecules bond (e.g., solidifying mercury).
Sublimation: Solid to gas transition without a liquid phase (e.g., frozen CO₂ at room temperature).
Deposition: Gas to solid transition when energy is released (e.g., water vapor forming snowflakes).

Properties of Matter

Physical Property: Measurable attributes; can be assessed through senses (e.g., mass, color).
Chemical Property: Relates to chemical structure and reactions (e.g., flammability, toxicity).
Extensive Property: Dependent on the amount of material (e.g., mass, area).
Intensive Property: Independent of material amount (e.g., color, density).

Consumer Products

Food Additives: Improve flavor and appearance, preserve taste.
Active Ingredients: Biologically active substances in drugs and cleaning products.
Cleaning Agents: Remove dirt, odors, and harmful microorganisms.
Cosmetics: Enhance appearance and fragrance for consumers.
