Study Notes
Properties of Matter
- Definition: Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space.
-
States of Matter:
- Solid: Definite shape and volume; particles are tightly packed.
- Liquid: Definite volume but no definite shape; particles are loosely packed.
- Gas: No definite shape or volume; particles are far apart and move freely.
- Plasma: High-energy state; ionized gas with free electrons.
-
Physical Properties:
- Mass: Amount of matter in an object.
- Volume: Space occupied by an object.
- Density: Mass per unit volume; density = mass/volume.
- Color, Odor, Texture, and Taste: Characteristics observed by senses.
- Chemical Properties: Describe potential chemical changes; e.g., reactivity, flammability.
Kinetic and Potential Energy
-
Kinetic Energy (KE):
- Definition: Energy an object possesses due to its motion.
- Formula: KE = 1/2 mv² (m = mass, v = velocity).
- Increases with speed; affects moving objects (e.g., cars, flowing water).
-
Potential Energy (PE):
- Definition: Stored energy based on an object's position or condition.
- Gravitational PE: Depends on object's height; PE = mgh (m = mass, g = gravitational acceleration, h = height).
- Elastic PE: Energy stored in elastic materials when stretched or compressed (e.g., springs, rubber bands).
Forms of Energy
- Mechanical Energy: Sum of potential and kinetic energy in an object.
- Thermal Energy: Internal energy of substances due to the motion of particles; related to temperature.
- Chemical Energy: Energy stored in chemical bonds; released during chemical reactions (e.g., combustion).
- Electrical Energy: Energy from the movement of electrons; used in electrical circuits.
- Nuclear Energy: Energy stored in atomic nuclei; released in nuclear reactions (fission and fusion).
- Radiant Energy: Energy of electromagnetic waves; includes light and heat energy.

Kinetic and Potential Energy
- Kinetic Energy (KE) is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion.
- KE increases with an object's speed and affects moving objects.
- The formula for KE is KE = 1/2 mv² where m is mass and v is velocity.
- Potential Energy (PE) is stored energy based on an object's position or condition.
- Gravitational PE is dependent on an object's height and is calculated as PE = mgh where m is mass, g is gravitational acceleration, and h is height.
- Elastic PE is energy stored in elastic materials when stretched or compressed.
Forms of Energy
- Mechanical Energy is the sum of potential and kinetic energy in an object.
- Thermal Energy is the internal energy of substances due to particle motion and is related to temperature.
- Chemical Energy is energy stored in chemical bonds and released during chemical reactions.
- Electrical Energy is energy from the movement of electrons used in electrical circuits.
- Nuclear Energy is energy stored in atomic nuclei; released during nuclear reactions (fission and fusion).
- Radiant Energy is energy of electromagnetic waves including light and heat energy.
Matter
- Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.
- Exists in various states: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.
- Solids: Definite shape and volume, particles are tightly packed and vibrate in place.
- Liquids: Definite volume, indefinite shape; particles are close together but can move around.
- Gases: Indefinite shape and volume, particles are far apart and move freely.
- Plasma: A highly ionized gas, found in stars and lightning.
Properties of Matter
- Physical Properties: Observed without changing the substance. These include color, texture, density, melting point, and boiling point.
- Chemical Properties: Observed when a substance undergoes a chemical change. These include reactivity, flammability, and acidity.
Mixtures
- Combinations of two or more substances that are not chemically combined.
- Homogeneous mixtures: Uniform composition throughout (e.g., saltwater).
- Heterogeneous mixtures: Non-uniform composition (e.g., pizza).
Pure Substances
- Constant composition and can only be separated by chemical reactions.
- Elements: Cannot be decomposed into simpler substances by chemical or physical means.
- Compounds: Constant composition that can be broken down into elements by chemical processes.
Separation Techniques
- Distillation: Separating a mixture based on differences in boiling point.
- Filtration: Separating a solid from a liquid.
- Chromatography: A method of separation that uses two phases: a stationary phase and a mobile phase.
Energy
- The capacity to do work or cause change in a system.
- It exists in various forms and can be transformed from one form to another.
Types of Energy
- Kinetic Energy: Energy due to motion (e.g., a rock falling from a cliff).
- Potential Energy: Stored energy that can be transformed into another form (e.g., water stored behind a dam).
Laws of Thermodynamics
- First Law: Also known as the conservation of energy. States that the total amount of energy in the universe is constant, neither created nor destroyed, only transformed.
- Second Law: States that disorder (entropy) in the universe always increases. Energy transformation leads to some energy being degraded into heat, increasing entropy.
- Third Law: States that all molecular movement stops at a temperature called absolute zero (0 Kelvin or -273 degrees Celsius).
Conventional Energy Resources
- Non-renewable sources of energy that have been used extensively.
- Their reserves are decreasing, making new discoveries and exploitation difficult.
Fossil Fuels
- A generic term for non-renewable energy resources such as coal, crude oil, petroleum products, and natural gas.
- They originate from plants and animals that existed millions of years ago.
Coal
- A combustible black or brownish sedimentary rock formed in layers called coal beds or coal seams.
- Composed primarily of carbon with variable amounts of hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen.
- One of the most important sources of energy, used for heating, steam engines, and electricity generation.
Crude Oil
- A naturally occurring liquid found in rock.
- Composed mainly of complex hydrocarbons with some organic materials.
- One of the major fuels used today, also used to produce synthetic materials.
- Varies in weight, color, and composition.
Natural Gas
- Highly combustible, colorless, and odorless hydrocarbon composed mainly of methane.
- Found in pressurized deposits deep in the Earth's crust.
- Produced by geological processes acting on organic matter over millions of years.
Electricity
- Produced from various sources using different raw materials.
