Study Notes
States and Properties of Matter
- Â Matter exists in three states: solids, liquids, and gases.
- Â The particle model describes the structure and properties of matter.
- Solids: particles are very close together, fixed positions, cannot be compressed.
- Liquids: particles are closely packed but further apart, can flow and take the shape of the container, can be compressed slightly.
- Gases: particles are far apart, move freely in all directions, can be compressed easily, no fixed shape or volume.
Properties of Water
- Water exists in three states: solid (ice), liquid, and gas (water vapor).
- Â Water changes state when heated or cooled.
- Melting: solid to liquid (0°C for ice).
- Boiling: liquid to gas (100°C for water).
- Melting and boiling points are properties of substances.
- Â Water is sometimes called the universal solvent because many substances dissolve in it.
- Â Water expands when frozen.
Evaporation and Condensation
- Evaporation: liquid changes to a gas.
- Condensation: gas changes to a liquid.
- These processes are part of the water cycle.
Solutions
- A solution is a mixture of a solute (solid) dissolved in a solvent (liquid).
- Solutes can dissolve in solvents.
- Solutions have a uniform appearance (the same throughout).
- Some substances are soluble in water (dissolve easily).
- Some substances are insoluble in water (do not dissolve easily).
- Â Dissolving is a reversible process.
- Pollution can occur when soluble or insoluble substances dissolve in water.
