    Study Notes

    Properties of Matter

    • Properties are characteristics of materials, such as color and odor.
    • You can observe many properties using your senses.
    • You can measure some properties by comparing them to a standard unit.
    • Volume is the amount of space a material takes up and can be measured in liters and milliliters.
    • Some properties can be identified by observing how a material interacts with other materials or energy.
    • Copper conducts electricity.
    • Some materials are magnetic, meaning they are attracted to magnets.
    • Solubility refers to a substance's ability to dissolve in another material.
    • All matter is composed of elements.
    • An element consists of only one type of atom.
    • An atom is the smallest part of an element that retains the element's properties.

    Chemistry Notes

    • The atomic theory states that all matter is made up of small particles called atoms.
    • Compounds are substances composed of two or more elements.
    • A molecule is the smallest unit of a compound that retains the compound's properties.
    • Different molecules can be formed by varying the number or types of atoms in a molecule.

    States of Matter

    • The three main states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.
    • The state of matter depends on the motion of its atoms or molecules.
    • Temperature is a measure of how fast particles are moving.
    • Temperature can be measured in Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F).
    • Mass is the amount of matter in a substance and is measured in grams or kilograms.
    • Volume is the amount of space an object occupies, also measured in grams or kilograms.
    • Solids and liquids have a definite volume, but gases expand to fill their container.

    Physical and Chemical Changes

    • Texture is the surface material of a material.
    • Hardness is a property that can be felt in solids.
    • A solid has a definite shape and volume.
    • A liquid has a definite volume but not a definite shape.
    • A gas has no definite shape or volume.
    • Matter can change size and shape.
    • A physical change alters the properties of matter without creating a new type of matter.
    • A change in temperature is a physical change.
    • Freezing is the process of a liquid turning into a solid.

    Chemistry Notes

    • When a solid is heated, its particles gain energy and can move past each other.
    • The melting point is the temperature at which a solid turns into a liquid.
    • The freezing point is the temperature at which a liquid turns into a solid.
    • Water's melting point is 0°C or 32°F.
    • Evaporation occurs when particles leave a liquid and become a gas.
    • Evaporation occurs when particles at the surface of a liquid move upward with enough speed.
    • Boiling point is the temperature at which gas particles move quickly upward through a liquid, forming gas bubbles under the surface.
    • Water's boiling point is 100°C or 212°F.
    • A chemical change produces one or more new substances.
    • During a chemical change, substances rearrange to form new substances.
    • Evidence of a chemical change includes the release of heat or light, a change in color, a new smell, gas bubbles, or the formation of a solid.
    • The Law of Conservation of Matter states that the total mass of matter remains constant during chemical or physical changes.
    • In a chemical change, all particles from the original substance end up in the new substance.
    • A chemical reaction occurs when substances transform into new substances.

    Mixtures and Solutions

    • In a mixture, different materials are combined but retain their individual properties.
    • A solution is a mixture where substances are evenly spread out.
    • The solute is the substance dissolved in the solution.
    • The solvent is the substance in which the solute is dissolved.
    • Solution components retain their properties but are usually difficult to separate.
    • All solutions are mixtures, but not all mixtures are solutions.
