Study Notes
Properties of Matter
- Solids: Definite mass, shape, and volume; highly rigid with closely packed particles.
- Liquids: Definite mass and volume, but shape adapts to the container; slightly less rigid than solids, allowing particles to flow.
- Gases: Definite mass but indefinite volume and shape; particles are not rigid and are least closely packed, allowing them to flow freely.
- Compressibility: Solids cannot be compressed, liquids are almost negligible in compressibility, while gases are highly compressible.
- Fluidity: Solids cannot flow, liquids can flow, and gases can also flow easily.
- Diffusion rates: Slow in solids, fast in liquids, and very fast in gases.
- Interparticle forces: Strong in solids, slightly weaker in liquids, and negligible in gases.
State of Change and Heat Changes
- Melting: Transition from solid to liquid involves speed increase in particle motion; process is endothermic.
- Freezing: Transition from liquid to solid involves a decrease in particle motion; process is exothermic.
- Vaporization: Transition from liquid to gas with increased particle speed; process is endothermic.
- Condensation: Transition from gas to liquid involves slowing down of particles; process is exothermic.
- Sublimation: Transition from solid directly to gas increases particle speed; process is endothermic.
- Deposition: Transition from gas directly to solid decreases particle motion; process is exothermic.
Phase Changes and Heat
- Ice to water: Endothermic reaction as ice absorbs heat.
- Water to ice: Exothermic reaction as water releases heat.
- Water boiling: Endothermic reaction as heat is absorbed for vaporization.
- Dew formation: Exothermic reaction as water vapor releases heat upon condensation.
- Dry ice to frost: Exothermic reaction during deposition.
Subatomic Particles
- Electrons: Charged negatively (-1), mass of 9.109 x 10^-28 grams, located outside the nucleus.
- Protons: Charged positively (+1), mass of 1.672 x 10^-24 grams, located in the nucleus.
- Neutrons: Neutral charge (0), mass of 1.675 x 10^-24 grams, located in the nucleus.
- Nucleons include protons and neutrons; these are the heaviest particles in an atom.
- Electrons are the lightest subatomic particles with negligible mass compared to protons and neutrons.
Classification of Compounds
- Organic Compounds: Compounds that contain carbon.
- Inorganic Compounds: Compounds that do not contain carbon.
- Ionic Compounds: Formed when metals react with non-metals.
- Covalent Compounds: Formed when nonmetals combine with each other.
General Concepts of Matter
- Matter: Defined by having mass and volume.
- Mass: Reflects the quantity of matter within a sample.
- Volume: The amount of space occupied by a substance.
- Non-Matter: Energy or abstract concepts that do not possess mass or volume.
- Matter Properties: Composed of tiny particles with spaces between them.
