    Study Notes

    Chapter 1: Matter in Our Surroundings

    1.1 Physical Nature of Matter

    1.1.1 Matter is Made Up of Particles

    • Matter is made up of tiny particles, as demonstrated by activities 1.1 and 1.2
    • The particles spread throughout the water in a beaker, illustrating the concept

    1.1.2 How Small are These Particles of Matter?

    • The SI unit of mass is kilogram (kg)
    • The SI unit of volume is cubic meter (m³)
    • Common unit of measuring volume is liter (L), where 1 L = 1 dm³, 1 L = 1000 mL, and 1 mL = 1 cm³

    1.2 Characteristics of Particles of Matter

    1.2.1 Particles of Matter Have Space Between Them

    • Particles of sugar, salt, Dettol, or potassium permanganate spread evenly in water
    • Particles of one type of matter get into the spaces between particles of another, as seen in making tea, coffee, or lemonade

    1.2.2 Particles of Matter are Continuously Moving

    • Activity 1.3: Incense stick smell spreads when lit, demonstrating particle movement
    • Activity 1.4: Ink and honey diffuse in water, illustrating particle movement and space between particles
    • Activity 1.5: Copper sulphate or potassium permanganate crystals dissolve in hot and cold water, showing particle movement and temperature effects
    • Particles of matter possess kinetic energy, which increases with temperature
    • Diffusion is the intermixing of particles of two different kinds of matter, and it becomes faster with heating

    1.2.3 Particles of Matter Attract Each Other

    • Human chain activity demonstrates force of attraction between particles
    • Particles of matter have a force acting between them, keeping them together
    • The strength of this force of attraction varies from one kind of matter to another

    States of Matter

    The Solid State

    • Solids have a definite shape, distinct boundaries, and a fixed volume
    • Examples of solids: rubber band, sugar, salt, and sponge
    • Solids are rigid and maintain their shape when subjected to outside force

    The Liquid State

    • Liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of the container they are in
    • Liquids flow and change shape, and are not rigid
    • Liquids diffuse into other liquids and solids

    The Gaseous State

    • Gases do not have a fixed volume or shape
    • Gases are easily compressed and have a greater space between particles
    • Gases diffuse quickly into liquids and other gases

    Matter in Our Surroundings

    The Gaseous State

    • Gases are highly compressible, making it possible to store large volumes in small cylinders
    • The smell of hot food reaches us quickly due to the high speed of gas particles and large space between them
    • Gases show the property of diffusing very fast into other gases
    • Gas particles move randomly at high speed, exerting pressure on the walls of the container
