Study Notes

Matter and its Properties

  • Matter: Anything with mass and volume.
  • Mass: Measure of matter, measured in kg or g.
  • Volume: Space an object occupies, measured in L or mL.

    • Solids: Rigid, definite shape, closely packed, regularly arranged particles, less movement. Little expansion with heating, not easily compressed.
    • Liquids: Flow, take container shape, randomly oriented molecules, slight expansion with heating, slight compression.

    • Plasma: High energy state, often a gas subset, no fixed shape or volume, ionized particles.
  • Phase Changes: Sublimation (solid to gas), deposition (gas to solid), condensation (gas to liquid), evaporation (liquid to gas), melting (solid to liquid), freezing (liquid to solid).
