Study Notes

Matter

Matter is anything that has mass and volume.
Matter can be solid, liquid, gas, or a combination of these.
Examples include foam (liquid and gas), mixtures of solid, liquid or gas.

Mass

Mass is a measure of the quantity of matter in an object.
Measured in kilograms (kg) or grams (g).

Volume

Volume is a measure of an object's size or the space a fluid occupies.
Measured in liters (L) or milliliters (mL).

Particle Theory of Matter

All matter is made of tiny particles.
Different types of matter have different types of particles.
Particles are attracted to each other.
Particles are always moving.
When heated, particles gain energy and move faster.
Distances between particles change based on the state of matter.
The strength of attraction between particles varies depending on the type of matter.
Particles have empty spaces between them.
Different substances are made up of different kinds of particles.
Particles are in motion and move faster as temperature increases.
Particles attract each other.

States of Matter (Solid, Liquid, Gas)

Solids: Strong forces, particles close together, fixed shape and volume.
Liquids: Weaker forces, particles farther apart, fixed volume, takes the shape of its container.
Gases: Very weak forces, particles very far apart, no fixed volume or shape, expands to fill container.

Particles and Heat

The state of a substance is related to temperature.
As heat is added, particles vibrate more quickly, which weakens the attraction between them (leading to a possible state change).
Changes in state (e.g., evaporation, condensation, freezing, melting) involve either heat being added or removed.
For example, as heat is added to ice, it transitions to liquid water, then to gas (water vapour).
Removing heat causes the opposite transitions.
