    Study Notes

    Matter and Its Characteristics

    • Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space.
    • Examples of matter: pencil, air, and water.

    Volume

    • Volume is the amount of space an object occupies.
    • Volume can be measured using beakers and measuring cylinders.
    • Examples of volume: the amount of space water occupies in a bottle, the amount of space air occupies in a balloon.

    Mass

    • Mass is the amount of matter an object contains.
    • Mass can be measured using an electronic balance.
    • Example: Brick A has more mass than Brick B because it has more matter.

    Deciding If Something Is Matter

    • To decide if something is matter, it must have mass and occupy space.
    • If something does not have mass and occupy space, it is not matter.

    States of Matter

    • Solid: has definite shape and definite volume. (Example: eraser)
    • Liquid: has no definite shape and definite volume. (Example: water)
    • Gas: has no definite shape and no definite volume. (Example: air)

    Characteristics of Objects

    • An object has definite volume if its volume does not change when it is placed in a different container. (Example: candy)
    • An object has no definite volume if its volume changes when it is placed in a different container. (Example: air)
    • An object has definite shape if its shape does not change when it is placed in a different container. (Example: eraser)
    • An object has no definite shape if its shape changes when it is placed in a different container. (Example: water)
