Study Notes
- Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass.
- Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. It is typically measured in grams (g).
- Grams are a unit of mass in the metric system. One gram is equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram.
- Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. It indicates the degree of hotness or coldness.
- Celsius and Fahrenheit are two common temperature scales. Celsius (°C) is a metric unit of temperature, Fahrenheit (°F) is another scale for measuring temperature. The Kelvin scale (K) is also a common temperature scale, but is an absolute temperature scale, where 0 K represents absolute zero.
- Volume is the amount of space occupied by a substance. It's measured in units of cubic meters (m³) or, commonly, milliliters (mL), which is a smaller unit.
- Milliliter (mL) is a unit of volume in the metric system, representing one thousandth of a liter.
- Solid is one of the three fundamental states of matter. Solids have a definite shape and volume. Particles are tightly packed and vibrate in place.
Additional Properties of Matter
- Density: A measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume.
- Density Formula: Density = Mass/Volume
- Units: Density is typically expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) or kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).
- Importance: Density plays a role in determining whether an object will float or sink in a liquid or gas. If the object's density is greater than the fluid's density, it sinks. If it's less than the fluid's density, it floats.
- States of Matter: The three fundamental states of matter are solids, liquids, and gases.
- Liquids: Liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container. Particles are close together but can move past each other.
- Gases: Gases have neither a definite shape nor a definite volume. Particles are widely dispersed and move randomly in all directions.
- Changes of State: Matter can change from one state to another through processes like melting, freezing, vaporization, condensation, and sublimation.
- Melting: The transition from a solid to a liquid.
- Freezing: The transition from a liquid to a solid.
- Vaporization: The transition from a liquid to a gas. This can happen through evaporation (at the surface) or boiling (throughout the liquid).
- Condensation: The transition from a gas to a liquid.
- Sublimation: The transition from a solid directly to a gas, or vice versa.
- Physical vs. Chemical Properties:
- Physical Properties: Properties that can be observed without changing the substance's chemical composition (e.g. color, density, melting point).
- Chemical Properties: Properties that describe how a substance reacts with other substances (e.g. flammability, reactivity with acids).
