    Study Notes

    Matter

    • Matter is the basic substance of all materials.
    • It occupies space, has mass, and can be perceived by the senses.
    • Matter cannot be created or destroyed.

    States of Matter

    • Solid: Rigid structure, fixed shape and volume, least intermolecular space, lowest energy, difficult to compress.
    • Liquid: Flows freely, no fixed shape but definite volume, medium energy, more intermolecular space than solids, easily compressible.
    • Gas: No fixed shape or volume, takes the shape of its container, highest energy, most intermolecular space, easily compressible.

    Properties of Matter

    • Mass: All matter has mass. A solid, liquid, or gas placed on a scale will cause it to tilt.
    • Occupies Space: Solids, liquids, and gases occupy space. This can be seen when a solid is submerged in water, displacing the water. Air in an empty glass tumbler can be displaced by water when the tumbler is tilted.

    Intermolecular Forces

    • Solids: Molecules are closely packed with strong intermolecular forces, resulting in a definite shape and volume.
    • Liquids: Molecules are less tightly packed with weaker intermolecular forces, resulting in a definite volume but no fixed shape.
    • Gases: Molecules are far apart with very weak intermolecular forces, resulting in no fixed shape or volume.

    Kinetic Energy

    • Solids: Have the least kinetic energy because molecules vibrate around fixed positions.
    • Liquids: Have more kinetic energy because molecules can move freely within the liquid.
    • Gases: Have the most kinetic energy because molecules move freely in all directions.

    Interconversion of Matter

    • Melting: Solid to liquid.
    • Vaporization: Liquid to gas.
    • Liquefaction or Condensation: Gas to liquid.
    • Solidification or Freezing: Liquid to solid.

    Evidence of Intermolecular Attraction

    • Mercury globules placed in a petri dish come together to form a larger globule when shaken, demonstrating the attraction between particles.

    Evidence of Particle Arrangement

    • Adding sugar crystals to water does not increase the overall volume, indicating that particles in solids (sugar) fill the spaces between particles in liquids (water).

    Matter

    • Matter is the fundamental substance of all materials, occupying space and possessing mass
    • The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.
    • Matter can not be created or destroyed.
    • States of matter are characterized by their intermolecular spaces, which are smallest in solids, larger in liquids, and largest in gases.

    Solid State

    • Rigid structure and definite shape.
    • Low energy
    • Difficult to compress.
    • **Fixed shape and volume **
    • Regular and closely packed molecules.
    • Low intermolecular space.
    • Do not flow.
    • Do not require a container for storage.
    • Strongest intermolecular attraction.

    Liquid State

    • Free-flowing with no fixed shape but a definite volume.
    • Medium energy.
    • Can be compressed with moderate difficulty.
    • No fixed shape, but definite volume.
    • Random and sparsely packed molecules.
    • More intermolecular space than solids.
    • Flow from a higher level to a lower level.
    • Require a container for storage.
    • Medium intermolecular attraction.

    Gaseous State

    • No fixed shape, takes the shape of the container.
    • Highest energy.
    • Easily compressible.
    • No fixed shape or volume.
    • Random and sparsely arranged molecules.
    • Largest intermolecular space compared to solids and liquids.
    • Flow in all directions.
    • Require a closed container for storage.
    • Weakest intermolecular attraction.

    Interconversion of Matter

    • Matter changes from one state to another due to changes in temperature or pressure.
    • Examples:
      • Ice (solid) melts into water (liquid).
      • Water (liquid) vaporizes into water vapor (gas).
      • Water vapor (gas) liquefies into water (liquid).
      • Water (liquid) solidifies into ice (solid).

    Properties of Matter

    • Solids have less intermolecular space than liquids and gases due to strong intermolecular attraction.
    • Liquids have more intermolecular space than solids and less than gases due to weaker intermolecular attraction.
    • Gases have the largest intermolecular space due to the least intermolecular attraction.

    Experiments and Observations

    • Solid on a scale will tilt the scale due to its mass. The same applies to liquids and gases.
    • Solids displace water when submerged, indicating they occupy space.
    • **Air in an empty glass tumbler can be displaced by water, further proving that air occupies space. **
    • Sugar crystals dissolving in water demonstrate that solids have close packing and liquids have less close packing of molecules.
    • **Mercury globules merging into a larger globule when shaken indicates intermolecular attraction. **
    • Iodine turning into vapor when heated shows the change of state from solid to gas.
    • Particles of gas are less closely packed and fill the container.

    Kinetic Energy and Movement of Particles

    • Solids: Particles vibrate around their fixed positions, lowest kinetic energy.
    • Liquids: Particles have more freedom to move within the liquid, higher kinetic energy.
    • Gases: Particles move freely in all directions, highest kinetic energy.

    Matter

    • Matter is the substance that makes up all things, living or non-living.
    • Matter occupies space, has mass, can be perceived by the senses, and cannot be created or destroyed.

    States of Matter

    • Matter exists in three states: solid, liquid, and gas.
    • The states of matter are classified by intermolecular spaces between their particles, which are least in solids, more in liquids, and maximum in gases.

    Solids

    • Solids have a rigid structure and firm shape.
    • They have the lowest energy and are difficult to compress.
    • Solids have a fixed shape and volume due to closely packed molecules.
    • Solids have very little intermolecular space and cannot flow.
    • They do not require a container for storage and have the greatest intermolecular attraction.

    Liquids

    • Liquids are substances that flow freely and lack a permanent shape but have a definite volume.
    • They have a medium energy and can be compressed with slight difficulty.
    • Liquids have no fixed shape, but have a fixed volume.
    • They have a random arrangement of sparsely packed molecules.
    • Liquids have more intermolecular space than solids, so they flow from a higher level to a lower level.
    • Liquids require a container for storage and have a medium intermolecular attraction.

    Gases

    • Gases have no shape but take the shape of their container.
    • Gases possess the highest energy and are easily compressible.
    • They have neither a definite shape nor volume.
    • Gas molecules are arranged randomly and more sparsely than liquids or solids.
    • Gases have the most intermolecular space and flow in all directions.
    • They require a closed container for storage and have the least intermolecular attraction.

    Properties of Matter

    • Mass: All matter has mass, which is the amount of matter in an object.
    • Occupying Space: Matter takes up space; this is called volume.

    Key Experiments

    • Solids Occupy Space: Placing a solid on a scale causes it to tilt due to the solid's mass. When a stone is placed in water, it pushes the water level up because the stone occupies the space the water previously held. After removing the stone, the water level drops to its original level.
    • Liquids Occupy Space: Placing a liquid on a scale causes it to tilt due to the liquid's mass.
    • Gases Occupy Space: A balloon placed on a scale causes it to tilt due to the gas's mass. When an empty glass tumbler is submerged in a beaker of water and tilted, air bubbles escape as the water pushes out the air. This demonstrates that gases occupy space.

    Intermolecular Spaces and Force of Attraction

    • Solids: Solids have negligible intermolecular space due to closely packed molecules and a strong force of attraction.
    • Liquids: Liquids have larger intermolecular space than solids and a weaker force of attraction, leading to a definite volume but no definite shape.
    • Gases: Gases have the largest intermolecular space and the weakest force of attraction, resulting in no definite shape or volume.

    Kinetic Energy

    • Solids: Solids possess the least kinetic energy because their particles move about their mean positions.
    • Liquids: Liquids possess more kinetic energy than solids because their particles are free to move within the liquid.
    • Gases: Gases have the highest kinetic energy because their particles can move freely in any direction.

    Intermolecular Attraction

    • Mercury Globules: When mercury globules are shaken, they come together to form a larger globule. This shows that there is intermolecular attraction between mercury molecules.
    • Sugar in Water: When sugar crystals are added to water, the volume of the water doesn't change because the sugar particles fill the spaces between the water molecules. This shows that water molecules are less closely packed than sugar molecules, indicating differences in intermolecular spaces.

    Interconversion of Matter

    • Matter can change from one state to another via changes in temperature or pressure.
    • Melting: Solid to liquid
    • Boiling/Vaporization: Liquid to gas
    • Condensation/Liquefaction: Gas to liquid
    • Solidification/Freezing: Liquid to solid
    • Sublimation: Solid to gas (e.g., dry ice)
    • Deposition: Gas to solid (e.g., frost)

    Key Points to Remember

    • Solids, liquids, and gases represent the three states of matter.
    • Intermolecular space and force of attraction are key factors in determining the properties of each state.

    • Occupies space, has mass, can be perceived by our senses
    • Cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed through physical and chemical changes

    States of Matter

    • Solids, liquids, and gases are the three states of matter, determined by the distances between their particles
    • Solids: Particles are tightly packed, resulting in a fixed shape and volume. They have the least energy and are difficult to compress; examples: ice, iron, wood.

    • Intermolecular attraction: Globules of mercury placed on a petri dish, when shaken, combine into a larger globule. This demonstrates the attractive forces between mercury particles.
    • Intermolecular space: When sugar crystals are added to water, the total volume of the solution remains unchanged. This indicates that solid particles, like sugar, occupy the space between liquid particles, suggesting more space between liquid particles than solid particles.

    Kinetic Energy

    • Solids: Particles have the least kinetic energy because they are only able to vibrate slightly in position
    • Liquids: Particles have more kinetic energy than solids, allowing for movement within the liquid.
