Solid

A substance that has a definite shape and volume. It is rigid and resists changes in shape.

Volume

The amount of space that a substance occupies.

Mass

The measure of the amount of matter in an object.

Leucippus

A Greek philosopher who proposed the idea of atoms as the fundamental building blocks of matter. He believed that atoms were indivisible particles.

Atomos

The term "atom" comes from the Greek word "atomos", which means "uncuttable". This reflects the belief that atoms were indivisible particles.

John Dalton

An English scientist who proposed an atomic theory in the early 1800s. His theory stated that all matter is made of tiny, indivisible spheres called atoms.

Molecular Theory of Matter

A theory that explains the behavior of matter based on the idea that matter is made up of molecules. It proposes that molecules are constantly in motion and have spaces between them.

Viscosity

The resistance of a fluid (liquid or gas) to flow. It is caused by the attractive forces between the molecules of the fluid. The stronger the attraction, the more viscous the fluid.

Phase Change

A change in the state of matter, such as from solid to liquid or liquid to gas. It involves changes in the energy of the molecules.

Endothermic

A process that absorbs heat energy. The energy of molecules increases, causing them to move faster.

Exothermic

A process that releases heat energy. The energy of molecules decreases, causing them to move slower.

Intramolecular forces

Forces that exist within a molecule, holding the atoms together. These forces are strong and keep the molecule intact.

Intermolecular forces

Forces that exist between molecules. These forces are weaker than intramolecular forces and influence the physical properties of substances.

Study Notes

States of Matter

  • Solids have a definite shape and volume.
  • Mass is a measure of how much "stuff" is in an object.
  • Volume is the amount of space an object takes up.

History of the Atom

  • Leucippus and Democritus were early thinkers about atoms.
  • Atoms were originally described as "uncuttable" (meaning indivisible).
  • The Latin word for "uncuttable" is "atomos".
  • John Dalton proposed the idea that an atom is a tiny solid sphere.

Molecular Theory of Matter

  • Molecules are larger than atoms.
  • All matter is made of molecules.
  • Molecules have spaces between them.
  • Molecules are constantly moving.
  • Molecules attract one another.

Viscosity

  • Viscosity is a measure of a liquid's resistance to flow.
  • The stronger the attractions between liquid particles, the higher the viscosity.

Phase Changes

  • Phase changes involve a change in energy.
  • Endothermic: heat energy is absorbed during a phase change
  • Exothermic: heat energy is released during a phase change

Intermolecular Forces

  • Intramolecular forces hold atoms together within a molecule.
  • Intermolecular forces attract molecules to each other.

Molecular Movement

  • Molecules vibrate.
  • Molecules in a liquid can transfer between phases.
  • The speed of molecules is related to temperature (faster = hotter).

Temperature

  • Temperature measures the average kinetic energy of molecules.
  • Temperature is one of the factors that determine the state of matter.

Phase Transitions

  • Freezing or Solidification: Liquid turns into a solid
  • Melting: Solid turns into a liquid.
  • Sublimation: Solid turns directly into a gas.
  • Deposition: Gas turns directly into a solid.
  • Evaporation: Liquid turns into a gas.
  • Condensation: Gas turns into a liquid.

Components of Matter

  • Matter is made up of tiny particles called atoms.
  • Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of matter.
