Study Notes
States of Matter
- Four main states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma
- States of matter can be changed by altering temperature and pressure
- Characteristics of each state:
- Solid:
- Fixed shape and volume
- Particles closely packed and vibrate in place
- Liquid:
- Takes shape of container
- Particles close together but can move past each other
- Gas:
- Takes shape and volume of container
- Particles widely spaced and move freely
- Plasma:
- High-energy state where atoms are ionized
- Particles highly energetic and move freely
- Solid:
Physical Properties
- Physical properties of matter that can be observed and measured:
- Extensive properties:
- Depend on amount of matter (e.g., mass, volume)
- Intensive properties:
- Independent of amount of matter (e.g., density, temperature)
- Extensive properties:
- Examples of physical properties:
- Color
- Odor
- Texture
- Melting point
- Boiling point
- Solubility
Particles
- Matter is composed of tiny particles called atoms and molecules
- Atoms:
- Smallest unit of matter
- Consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons
- Molecules:
- Group of atoms bonded together
- Can be composed of same or different elements
- Particle motion:
- Kinetic molecular theory: particles in constant motion
- Temperature affects particle motion (increased temperature = increased motion)
Density
- Density: mass per unit volume of a substance
- Calculated by: density = mass / volume
- Units: typically g/cm³ or kg/m³
- Density is an intensive property, meaning it is independent of amount of matter
- Examples of density values:
- Water: 1 g/cm³
- Iron: 7.9 g/cm³
- Air: approximately 1.2 kg/m³
States of Matter
- Four main states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma, which can be changed by altering temperature and pressure.
- Solids have a fixed shape and volume, with particles closely packed and vibrating in place.
- Liquids take the shape of their container, with particles close together but able to move past each other.
- Gases take the shape and volume of their container, with particles widely spaced and moving freely.
- Plasma is a high-energy state where atoms are ionized, with particles highly energetic and moving freely.
Physical Properties
- Physical properties of matter can be observed and measured, and are classified as extensive or intensive.
- Extensive properties depend on the amount of matter, such as mass and volume.
- Intensive properties are independent of the amount of matter, such as density, temperature, color, odor, texture, melting point, boiling point, and solubility.
Particles
- Matter is composed of tiny particles called atoms and molecules.
- Atoms are the smallest unit of matter, consisting of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
- Molecules are groups of atoms bonded together, which can be composed of the same or different elements.
- Particle motion is constant, and temperature affects particle motion, with increased temperature resulting in increased motion.
Density
- Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance, calculated by dividing mass by volume.
- Density is an intensive property, independent of the amount of matter.
- Units of density are typically g/cm³ or kg/m³.
- Examples of density values include water (1 g/cm³), iron (7.9 g/cm³), and air (approximately 1.2 kg/m³).
