    Study Notes

    Definition of Matter

    • Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.
    • It is the physical substance that makes up all objects, living and non-living.

    Properties of Matter

    • Mass: a measure of the amount of matter in an object, which remains constant regardless of its location.
    • Volume: the amount of space occupied by an object.
    • Density: the ratio of mass to volume of an object.

    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 are free to move past each other.
    • Gas: a state of matter where particles are widely spaced and are free to move in any direction.
    • Plasma: a high-energy state of matter where atoms are ionized and electrons are free to move.

    Classification of Matter

    • Elements: substances that consist of only one type of atom.
    • Compounds: substances that consist of two or more different elements.
    • Mixtures: physical combinations of two or more substances that are not chemically combined.

    Physical Changes of Matter

    • Melting: the change from a solid to a liquid state.
    • Freezing: the change from a liquid to a solid state.
    • Evaporation: the change from a liquid to a gas state.
    • Condensation: the change from a gas to a liquid state.

    Chemical Changes of Matter

    • Chemical reaction: a process in which one or more substances are changed into new substances.
    • Chemical bonding: the formation of chemical bonds between atoms to form compounds.
    • Chemical decomposition: the breaking down of a compound into simpler substances.

    Definition and Properties of Matter

    • Matter is anything with mass and occupies space, making up all objects, living and non-living.
    • Mass remains constant regardless of location, measuring the amount of matter in an object.
    • Volume is the space occupied by an object, and density is the ratio of mass to volume.

    States of Matter

    • Solids have closely packed particles, fixed shape, and volume.
    • Liquids have close particles that can move past each other, with a fixed volume but variable shape.
    • Gases have widely spaced particles that can move freely, with variable shape and volume.
    • Plasmas have ionized atoms and free-moving electrons.

    Classification of Matter

    • Elements consist of only one type of atom.
    • Compounds consist of two or more different elements.
    • Mixtures are physical combinations of two or more substances that are not chemically combined.

    Physical Changes of Matter

    • Melting changes a solid to a liquid state.
    • Freezing changes a liquid to a solid state.
    • Evaporation changes a liquid to a gas state.
    • Condensation changes a gas to a liquid state.

    Chemical Changes of Matter

    • Chemical reactions involve the transformation of one or more substances into new substances.
    • Chemical bonding forms compounds by forming chemical bonds between atoms.
    • Chemical decomposition breaks down compounds into simpler substances.
