Properties of Matter

Matter:

  • Matter is anything that takes up space and has weight.
  • Examples: solid objects, liquids, gases

Properties of Matter:

  • Physical Properties:
    • Shape
    • Size
    • Color
    • Texture
    • Weight
  • Observable Properties:
    • Can be seen or observed with our senses
    • Examples: a rock's shape, a liquid's color
  • Non-Observable Properties:
    • Cannot be seen or observed with our senses
    • Examples: a rock's hardness, a liquid's boiling point

States of Matter:

  • Solid:
    • Has a fixed shape and volume
    • Examples: rocks, toys, books
  • Liquid:
    • Takes the shape of its container
    • Has a fixed volume
    • Examples: water, juice, oil
  • Gas:
    • Has neither a fixed shape nor volume
    • Examples: air, helium, oxygen

Changing States of Matter:

  • Melting: solid → liquid
  • Freezing: liquid → solid
  • Evaporation: liquid → gas
  • Condensation: gas → liquid

Properties of Matter

Definition of Matter

  • Matter is anything that occupies space and has weight, including solid objects, liquids, and gases.

Types of Properties

Physical Properties

  • Shape is a physical property of matter.
  • Size is a physical property of matter.
  • Color is a physical property of matter.
  • Texture is a physical property of matter.
  • Weight is a physical property of matter.

Observable Properties

  • Observable properties are physical properties that can be perceived through our senses.
  • Examples of observable properties include a rock's shape and a liquid's color.

Non-Observable Properties

  • Non-observable properties are physical properties that cannot be perceived through our senses.
  • Examples of non-observable properties include a rock's hardness and a liquid's boiling point.

States of Matter

Solid State

  • Solids have a fixed shape and volume.
  • Examples of solids include rocks, toys, and books.

Liquid State

  • Liquids take the shape of their container.
  • Liquids have a fixed volume.
  • Examples of liquids include water, juice, and oil.

Gas State

  • Gases have neither a fixed shape nor volume.
  • Examples of gases include air, helium, and oxygen.

Changing States of Matter

  • Melting is the process of changing from a solid to a liquid.
  • Freezing is the process of changing from a liquid to a solid.
  • Evaporation is the process of changing from a liquid to a gas.
  • Condensation is the process of changing from a gas to a liquid.
