    Study Notes

    Properties of Matter

    • Properties help identify substances, distinguishing between physical and chemical characteristics.
    • Physical properties can be observed without changing the substance's identity; examples include melting point and solubility.
    • Melting is a physical change, allowing recovery of the original ice by freezing the water.
    • Chemical properties involve a change in identity; for instance, hydrogen gas burning in oxygen forms water, a different substance that cannot revert to hydrogen via physical processes.

    Extensive and Intensive Properties

    • Properties are classified as extensive (depend on the amount of matter, like mass) or intensive (independent of the amount, like density and temperature).

    Classification of Matter

    • Matter can be as elements (e.g., iron, mercury) or compounds (e.g., salt, water).
    • States of matter include solid, liquid, and gas; solids and liquids are condensed phases, while liquids and gases are referred to as fluids.

    Elements and Compounds

    • Elements cannot be chemically broken down into simpler substances.
    • Compounds consist of two or more elements chemically bonded in fixed proportions; they cannot be separated by physical means.

    Mixtures

    • Mixtures are combinations of substances that retain distinct identities; they can be solid, liquid, or gas.
    • Mixtures can be homogeneous (uniform composition, like sugar in water) or heterogeneous (distinct components, like sand and iron filings).

    Changes in Matter

    • Physical changes do not alter a substance's identity, while chemical changes do.
    • Recognizing changes in diagrams showcases the difference: specific diagrams illustrate physical changes differentiated from chemical changes.

    Uncertainty in Measurement

    • Significant figures are crucial in reporting inexact numbers, indicating the uncertainty of measurements.
    • Exact numbers have defined values (e.g., 1 inch = 2.54 cm, 1 dozen = 12).
    • Guidelines for determining significant figures:
      • Non-zero digits are significant.
      • Zeros between non-zero digits count as significant.
