    Study Notes

    Matter and its states

    • Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space.
    • Matter is made up of particles, according to the particulate theory of matter.
    • All matter is made up of particles, which are in constant, random motion.
    • The particles of matter have spaces between them.
    • There are forces of attraction between the particles of matter.
    • The strength of the forces of attraction between particles determines the state of matter.
    • The three main states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.
    • The movement of the particles of matter determines the properties of the different states.
    • Solids have the least amount of energy, the particles simply vibrate in their fixed positions and they are packed closely together.
    • Liquids have medium amounts of energy, the particles move about slowly and have small spaces between them.
    • Gases have the greatest amount of energy, the particles move about rapidly and have large spaces between them.
    • The energy of the particles is directly related to the temperature, and matter can change its state by changing its temperature.
    • Changing state by changing temperature is a physical change.
    • A physical change occurs when the form of the substance is changed without changing its chemical composition.

    Diffusion

    • Diffusion is the movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.
    • The process of diffusion provides evidence for the particulate theory of matter.
    • Diffusion can occur in solids, liquids and gases.

    Osmosis

    • Osmosis is a special case of diffusion, which involves the movement of water molecules through a differentially permeable membrane.
    • A differentially permeable membrane is a membrane that allows some substances to pass through but not others.
    • The cell membrane that surrounds biological cells is differentially permeable.

    Boiling and Condensation

    • Boiling is the constant temperature at which a liquid changes into a gas.
    • Boiling occurs at a specific temperature.
    • Boiling takes place throughout the liquid.
    • Evaporation can take place at any temperature.
    • Evaporation takes place only at the surface of the liquid.
    • Condensation is the process where a gas changes into a liquid.
    • Condensation occurs when the temperature of a gas is lowered.

    Freezing and Melting

    • Freezing is the process where a liquid changes into a solid.
    • Freezing occurs when the temperature of a liquid is lowered.
    • The temperature at which this occurs is called the freezing point.
    • The freezing point of a pure substance has the same value as the melting point.

    Sublimation

    • Sublimation is the process where a solid changes directly into a gas or a gas to a solid, without passing through the liquid state.
    • Substances which undergo sublimation include iodine, carbon dioxide, ammonium chloride and naphthalene.
