Study Notes
Matter and Its Properties
- Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space.
- Examples of matter include stones, books, pens, bags, jewelry, water, milk, and the air we breathe.
Mass and Volume
- Mass is the amount of matter contained in a body.
- As mass increases, weight also increases.
- Volume is the space occupied by a body.
- The volume of a watermelon is larger than a cherry.
Energy
- Energy is the capacity to do work.
- Energy is not a matter and has no mass or occupation of space.
- Examples of energy include heat and light, which help in cooking food and plant photosynthesis.
States of Matter
- Matter exists in three states: solid, liquid, and gas.
- Matter can change its state when heated or cooled.
- Changes in state include melting, freezing, boiling, evaporation, and condensation.
Changes in State
- Melting: a solid changes to a liquid when heated to a particular temperature (melting point).
- Freezing: a liquid changes to a solid when cooled to a particular temperature (freezing point).
- Boiling: a liquid changes to a gas when heated to a particular temperature (boiling point).
- Evaporation: a liquid changes to a gas over a range of temperatures below its boiling point.
- Condensation: a gas changes to a liquid when cooled.
- Sublimation: a solid changes directly to a gas when heated, without going through the liquid state.
Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures
- Pure substances can be classified as elements or compounds.
- Elements are pure substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means.
- Examples of elements include hydrogen, oxygen, iron, copper, gold, and carbon.
- Elements are classified as metals and non-metals based on their physical and chemical properties.
- Metals have characteristic properties such as being hard solids, having metallic lustre, being malleable, ductile, and sonorous, and being good conductors of heat and electricity.
