    Study Notes

    Classifications of Matter

    • Mixtures have varying compositions; pure substances possess uniform compositions.
    • Heterogeneous mixtures allow identification of components; examples include garden salad and trail mix.
    • Colloids appear homogeneous but are heterogeneous under tests; examples include milk and styling gel.
    • Homogeneous mixtures (solutions) have uniform composition, such as brine and orange juice drink.
    • Elements consist of only one kind of atom; examples include Darmstadtium (Ds) and Hydrogen (H).
    • Compounds are made of molecules that combine 2 or more elements; examples include Aqua Fortis (HNCO₃) and water (H₂O).

    Phases of Matter

    • Solid: Defined shape, minimal molecular movement; example: diamond.
    • Liquid: Molecular movement allows it to take the shape of its container; example: lemon juice.
    • Gas: High molecular movement, behaves similarly to liquids; example: air.
    • Sublimation: Solid transitions directly to gas without becoming liquid; example: frozen CO₂.
    • Deposition: Gas molecules lose energy and form solids; example: water vapor forming snowflakes.

    Properties of Matter

    • Physical Property: Quantifiable characteristics assessed through measurement or the five senses; examples include mass, color, and length.
    • Chemical Property: Characteristics assessed based on chemical structure and processes; examples include flammability and toxicity.
    • Extensive Property: Properties dependent on amount of material, such as mass and volume.
    • Intensive Property: Properties independent of material amount, like color and density.

    Consumer Products

    • Food Additives: Enhance flavor, appearance, and preserve food quality.
    • Active Ingredients: Biologically active substances in pharmaceuticals and cleaning products.
    • Cleaning Agents: Remove dirt and odor and may kill microorganisms.
    • Cosmetics: Enhance appearance and fragrance of users.
    • Plasma: High-energy state of matter where gas glows; example: neon lights.

    Phase Transitions

    • Melting: Adding heat to solid transforms it into liquid; example: melting iron bars.
    • Evaporation: Heating liquid breaks bonds, turning it into gas; example: evaporating saltwater.
    • Ionization: Heat adds energy to gas, creating ions; example: glowing neon gas.
    • Recombination: Removing heat from plasma leads to gaseous state; example: cooling neon plasma.
    • Condensation: Gas molecules lose energy, forming bonds to become liquid; example: water vapor condensing into clouds.
    • Freezing: Removal of heat in liquids reform them into solids; example: liquid mercury solidifying with liquid nitrogen.
