Study Notes
Properties of Matter
- Mass: a measure of the amount of matter in an object, typically measured in units of kilograms (kg)
- Volume: the amount of space occupied by an object, typically measured in units of cubic meters (m³)
- Density: the ratio of mass to volume, typically measured in units of kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³)
States of Matter
- Solid: a state of matter where particles are closely packed and have a fixed shape and volume
- Liquid: a state of matter where particles are close together but can move past each other, taking the shape of their container
- Gas: a state of matter where particles are widely spaced and can move freely, expanding to fill their container
Changes of State
- Melting: the process of changing from a solid to a liquid
- Freezing: the process of changing from a liquid to a solid
- Evaporation: the process of changing from a liquid to a gas
- Condensation: the process of changing from a gas to a liquid
Types of Matter
- Elements: substances that consist of only one type of atom, represented by a symbol (e.g. H for hydrogen)
- Compounds: substances that consist of two or more different elements, represented by a formula (e.g. H₂O for water)
- Mixtures: physical combinations of two or more substances, where each substance maintains its properties
Structure of Matter
-
Atoms: the smallest units of matter, consisting of protons, neutrons, and electrons
- Protons: positively charged particles that reside in the nucleus
- Neutrons: particles with no charge that reside in the nucleus
- Electrons: negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus
- Molecules: groups of atoms that are chemically bonded together

Changes of State
- Melting occurs when a solid changes to a liquid
- Freezing occurs when a liquid changes to a solid
- Evaporation occurs when a liquid changes to a gas
- Condensation occurs when a gas changes to a liquid
