Study Notes
Matter and Its Properties
- Matter: Anything that has mass and occupies space. Examples include rocks, air, water, and the human body. Light and sound are not matter.
States of Matter
-
Solids: Have a definite shape and volume. Particles are closely packed and vibrate in place. Examples include ice and wood.
-
Liquids: Have a definite volume but take the shape of their container. Particles are close together but can move past one another. Examples include water and oil.
-
Gases: Have no definite shape or volume; they expand to fill their container. Particles are far apart and move freely. Examples include oxygen and carbon dioxide.
-
Plasma: A highly energized, ionized gas with free electrons. Found in stars, lightning, and neon signs. Less common than other states of matter.
Kinetic Molecular Theory
- Assumptions: All matter consists of tiny particles, particles are in constant motion, particles collide with each other and container walls, collisions are perfectly elastic (no energy loss).
Properties of Matter
-
Physical Properties: Observed without changing the substance's identity. Examples include color, odor, density, melting point, boiling point, ductility (ability to be drawn into wire), malleability (ability to be shaped), solubility (ability to dissolve in another substance), density (mass per unit volume), and luster (surface shine). Also includes conductivity (ability to transmit electrical charge) and magnetism (response to magnetic fields).
-
Chemical Properties: Describe a substance's ability to change into a new substance. Examples are flammability, reactivity with other substances, oxidation, pH, corrosiveness.
Classification of Matter
-
Pure Substances: Consist of a single type of atom or molecule. Examples include elements (like neon) and compounds (like water).
-
Mixtures: Two or more pure substances combined without chemically bonding. Homogeneous mixtures have a uniform composition (like air), while heterogeneous mixtures do not (like salad).
Building Blocks of Matter
-
Atoms: The smallest unit of an element. Composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Example: A gold atom retains the properties of gold.
-
Molecules: Two or more atoms bonded together (e.g., H₂O).
Measuring Matter
-
Mass: Amount of matter in an object, measured using grams or kilograms.
-
Volume: Amount of space an object occupies, measured using liters, milliliters, or cubic centimeters.
-
Density: Mass per unit volume (mass divided by volume). Used to determine if objects will float or sink in liquids.
Changes in Matter
-
Physical Changes: Alter physical properties without changing the substance's identity. Examples include melting, freezing, dissolving.
-
Chemical Changes: Form new substances by changing the substance's identity. Examples include rusting or burning.
Conservation of Matter
- Matter is neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions; only changes form.
Advanced Concepts
-
Atomic Models: Different models describing the atom's structure (e.g., Bohr model, quantum model).
-
Chemical Reactions: Processes where reactants transform into new products, often with energy exchange.
-
Energy and Matter: Matter can transform between potential and kinetic energy. Transformations often occur during phase changes (changes in state) and chemical reactions.
-
Intermolecular Forces: Forces between molecules, such as Van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonding, ionic, and covalent interactions.
Key Formulas
-
Density: Density = Mass/Volume
-
Ideal Gas Law: PV=nRT ( Pressure × Volume = number of moles × Ideal gas constant × Temperature)
