Study Notes

Matter and Energy

  • Matter is anything that occupies space and possesses weight.
  • Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
  • Chemistry is the study of matter's composition, structure, and changes.
  • Matter can be classified as metals and non-metals or as acids and bases.

Classification of Matter

  • Matter can be classified by physical state (solid, liquid, or gas).
  • It can also be classified by chemical composition (element, compound, or mixture).

States of Matter

  • Matter exists in three states or phases: solids, liquids, and gases.
  • A phase is a physically distinct portion of matter with uniform composition and properties.

Kinetic-Molecular Theory

  • Provides insights into the properties of solids, liquids, and gases.
  • All matter comprises extremely small particles like atoms, molecules, or ions.
  • These particles are perpetually in motion.
  • Higher temperatures result in faster particle movement.
  • Kinetic energy overcomes the forces of attraction between particles.

Solids

  • Have a definite shape and volume.
  • Do not flow.
  • Composed of tightly packed particles.
  • Incompressible.
  • Expand slightly when heated.

Liquids

  • Lack a definite shape but have definite volume.
  • Can flow.
  • Particles are mobile and relatively close to one another.
  • Incompressible.
  • Expand slightly when heated.

Gases

  • Lack definite shape and volume.
  • Flow.
  • Particles are independent and relatively far apart.
  • Low density.
  • Highly compressible.
  • Expand greatly when heated.

Properties of Matter

  • Physical properties include color, odor, taste, solubility, density, and hardness.
  • These properties do not depend on the ability to react and form new substances.
  • Chemical properties involve chemical changes such as reactivity or flammability.
  • An example includes whether a substance will react in air; it involves the change of a substance.

Types of Properties

  • Physical properties can be observed and measured without changing a substance's composition.
  • Intensive properties include density and boiling point.
  • They are independent of how much material is in the sample.
  • Extensive properties, such as mass and volume, depend on the quantity of material present.

Changes of Matter

  • Physical changes do not produce new substances.
  • They involve a change of phase.
  • Chemical changes produce new substances and may involve a change of phase.
  • Rusting iron and burning wood are a few examples.

Physical Processes

  • Melting sodium chloride, pulverizing rock salt, and melting sulphur are physical changes.
  • Adding heat to ice converts it to liquid water.
  • As more heat is added liquid water converts to steam.
  • As heat is removed then steam converts into water by condensing.
  • Further cooling of water converts it to ice by freezing.

Chemical Compositions

  • Pure substances are elements or compounds.
  • Mixtures can be homogeneous or heterogeneous.

Pure Substances

  • Compounds are chemical combinations of two or more elements.
  • They can be broken down into elements by chemical means and have a definite, constant elemental composition.
  • Examples are Hâ‚‚O and NaHCO₃
  • Elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical or physical means.
  • They can be classified into metals and non-metals.

Elements

  • Metals are lustrous, conduct electricity and heat, are malleable, and ductile.
  • Example: Aluminium, Lead
  • Non-metals lack luster, and do not conduct electricity or heat, are not malleable or ductile.
  • Example: Oxygen, Carbon, Sulphur

Mixtures

  • They are physical combinations of two or more substances with variable composition.
  • Properties vary as composition varies.
  • Components can be separated using physical means like filtration or distillation.
  • Components retain their original properties.
  • Mixtures can be heterogeneous or homogeneous.

Types of Mixtures

  • Homogeneous mixtures have one phase with uniform properties throughout.
  • An example is salt dissolved in water
  • Heterogeneous mixtures have two or more phases and are not uniform throughout.
    • One can physically distinguish the parts in the mixture.
    • An example is sugar and sand
