Study Notes

Matter in Our Surroundings

  • Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass
  • All things in the universe are composed of matter
  • Early philosophers classified matter into five basic elements (Panch Tatva)
  • Modern scientists classify matter based on physical and chemical properties

Physical Nature of Matter

  • Matter is made up of tiny particles
  • Particles of matter have spaces between them
  • Particles of matter constantly move
  • Forces of attraction exist between particles of matter
  • The strength of these forces varies between substances.
  • The strength of the force of attraction between particles changes with temperature.

States of Matter

  • Matter exists in three primary states: solid, liquid, gas.
  • Solids have a definite shape and volume. Particles are tightly packed.
  • Liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container. Particles are less tightly packed and can move around.
  • Gases have neither a definite shape nor a definite volume. Particles are widely spread out and move freely.
  • Matter can change from one state to another by adding or removing heat.
  • Melting (Solid to Liquid)
  • Freezing (Liquid to Solid)
  • Boiling (Liquid to Gas)
  • Condensation (Gas to Liquid)
  • Sublimation (Solid to Gas)
  • Deposition (Gas to Solid)

Factors Affecting Evaporation

  • Surface area: A larger surface area increases evaporation.
  • Temperature: Higher temperatures lead to faster evaporation.
  • Humidity: Lower humidity values lead to faster evaporation.
  • Wind speed: Higher wind speeds increase evaporation.

Evaporation and Cooling

  • Evaporation causes cooling because particles with higher kinetic energy escape from the liquid, leaving behind particles with lower kinetic energy, thus lowering the average kinetic energy.
