    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.
