    Study Notes

    Describing and Classifying Matter

    • Physical Change: A change in the form or appearance of a substance, but not its chemical composition. For example, chopping wood changes its shape but not its chemical makeup.
    • Chemical Change: A change that results in the formation of new substances with different properties.
    • Matter: Anything that has mass and occupies space.
    • Air Purifier: Uses filtration to separate dust and allergens from the air.
    • Physical Property: A characteristic of a substance that can be observed without changing its chemical composition. For example, color, conductivity, and boiling point are physical properties.
    • Chemical Property: A characteristic of a substance that describes how it reacts with other substances. For example, flammability is a chemical property.
    • Compound: A substance formed by the chemical combination of two or more elements in a fixed ratio. For example, sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) is a compound.
    • Mixture: A combination of two or more substances that are not chemically bonded. For example, air, smog, coffee, and chocolate milk are mixtures.

    Measuring Matter

    • Mass: The amount of matter in an object. It is independent of gravity.
    • Volume: The amount of space that an object occupies.
    • Density: The ratio of an object's mass to its volume.
    • Weight: The force of gravity on an object. It is dependent on gravity.
