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.
