    Study Notes

    Matter and Its Composition

    • Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass.
    • Matter exists in three states: solid, liquid, and gas.
    • Matter is composed of small particles called molecules, atoms, or ions.
    • An atom is the smallest particle of an element that can participate in a chemical reaction. Examples are oxygen (O), hydrogen (H), and chlorine (Cl).
    • A molecule is the smallest particle of a substance that retains the characteristics of that substance.
    • An ion is an atom or group of atoms that carries a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of electrons.

    Kinetic Molecular Theory

    • The kinetic molecular theory explains the behavior of matter in terms of the motion of its particles.
    • The main postulates of the theory are:
      • Particles of matter are in continuous motion and possess kinetic energy.
      • There is space between the particles of matter.
      • The particles attract each other.
    • The kinetic energy of particles increases with increasing temperature.

    Properties of Matter

    • Solids are characterized by:
      • Rigid structure and definite shape.
      • Low energy.
      • Difficult to compress.
      • Fixed shape and volume.
      • Regular arrangement of molecules.
      • Small intermolecular spaces.
      • No ability to flow.
      • High intermolecular attraction.
    • Liquids are characterized by:
      • No fixed shape but definite volume.
      • Medium energy.
      • Difficult to compress.
      • Random arrangement of molecules.
      • Larger intermolecular spaces than solids.
      • Ability to flow.
      • Medium intermolecular attraction.
    • Gases are characterized by:
      • No definite shape or volume.
      • High energy.
      • Easy to compress.
      • Random arrangement of molecules.
      • Largest intermolecular spaces.
      • Ability to flow in all directions.
      • Low intermolecular attraction.

    Change of State of Matter

    • Change of state of matter refers to the transformation of matter from one state to another.
    • Changes of state are caused by changes in temperature and pressure.
    • Interconversion of matter involves changes of state from one state to another and back to the original state.
    • Terms involved in interconversion of matter:
      • Melting: Conversion of a solid into a liquid.
      • Vaporization: Conversion of a liquid into vapor or gas.
      • Condensation: Conversion of vapor or gas into a liquid.
      • Freezing: Conversion of a liquid into a solid.
    • The kinetic theory explains changes in the state of matter:
      • On heating, the particles of a solid gain energy, increasing interparticle spaces and decreasing interparticle attraction. This leads to melting.
      • On cooling, the particles of a gas lose energy, decreasing interparticle spaces and increasing interparticle attraction. This leads to condensation.

    Law of Conservation of Mass

    • The law of conservation of mass states that the total mass of the reactants in a chemical reaction is equal to the total mass of the products. This means that matter is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction, but only transformed from one form to another.
    • Evidence for the law:
      • Landolt's experiment using an "H" shaped tube showed that the total mass of reactants was equal to the total mass of products in a chemical reaction.
    • Limitations of the law:
      • Chemical energy stored in reactants is released as heat or light during a chemical reactions. This converts a small amount of mass into energy. Therefore, mass and energy should be considered together.
      • The very slight error observed in experiments is explained by Dalton's atomic theory, which states that atoms cannot be created or destroyed, but only rearranged.

    Physical and Chemical Changes

    • A change in matter can be classified as physical or chemical.
    • A physical change:
      • Is temporary and easily reversible.
      • Does not alter the composition of the substance.
      • Leads to changes in form or state but not in the identity of the substance.
    • A chemical change:
      • Is permanent and not easily reversible.
      • Alters the composition of the substance.
      • Produces new substances with different properties.
      • Examples are burning, cooking, and rusting.
    • Physical changes include changes in state of matter, such as melting, freezing, vaporization, and condensation.
    • Chemical changes include reactions with acids, fermentation, dehydration, respiration, and burning.

    Matter

    • Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass.
    • Matter can be perceived by the senses and can exist in living and non-living forms.

    Composition of Matter

    • Matter in any state is made up of small particles called molecules, atoms, or ions.
    • An atom is the smallest particle of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction.
    • An atom is the basic unit of matter. Examples: O, H, Cl.
    • A molecule is the smallest particle of a substance that retains the characteristics of that substance.
    • An ion is an atom or a group of atoms that has a net electrical charge due to the loss or gain of electrons.

    Kinetic Molecular Theory of Matter

    • The Kinetic Molecular Theory of matter describes the behavior of particles in different states of matter.
    • All particles are composed of tiny, constantly moving molecules, atoms, or ions.
    • There is space between these particles, called inter-particle space.
    • These particles attract each other with a force that is strongest when the particles are close together and weakest when they are far apart.
    • All particles possess kinetic energy due to their continuous motion.
    • The kinetic energy of particles increases when heat is applied, resulting in more random movement.
