Study Notes
Matter and its States
- The following are matter: chair, air, almonds, lemon water, because they have mass and occupy space.
- Love, hate, smell, and thought are not matter.
- Matter can exist in three different states: solid, liquid, and gas.
Properties of Solid State
- Solids have a fixed shape and volume.
- Solids are rigid and do not change shape.
- Solids have particles that are closely packed and vibrating in a fixed position.
- Solids have a fixed shape because of the strong force of attraction between particles.
Properties of Liquid State
- Liquids take the shape of their container.
- Liquids are fluid and can change shape.
- Liquids have particles that are close together but can move freely.
- Liquids have a fixed volume but can change shape.
Properties of Gas State
- Gases have neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume.
- Gases are highly compressible.
- Gases have particles that are widely spaced and move freely.
- Gases can fill their container completely.
Effect of Change of Temperature
- On increasing the temperature of solids, the kinetic energy of the particles increases.
- Particles start vibrating with greater speed, and the forces of attraction between particles are overcome.
- At the melting point, the solid melts and is converted to a liquid.
- The melting point of a solid is an indication of the strength of the force of attraction between its particles.
Characteristics of Particles of Matter
- Particles of matter have kinetic energy.
- Particles of matter have a force of attraction between them.
- Particles of matter can vibrate, move freely, or be closely packed depending on the state of matter.
Density
- The mass per unit volume of a substance is called density.
- Density is calculated as mass/volume.
- Substances can be arranged in order of increasing density: air, exhaust from chimneys, cotton, honey, water, chalk, and iron.
Change of State
- Matter can change its state from solid to liquid or liquid to gas.
- The change of state occurs when the kinetic energy of the particles increases or decreases.
- The change of state involves a change in the arrangement of particles and the forces of attraction between them.
- The melting point of ice is 273.15 K.
