Flashcards

What is matter?

Anything that has mass and takes up space (volume).

What is mass?

A measure of the quantity of matter in an object, usually measured in grams (g) or kilograms (kg).

What is volume?

A measure of how big an object is, or how much space it occupies, usually measured in litres (L) or millilitres (mL).

What are models in science?

Science uses these to explain behaviour, especially of things that are hard to see because they are too small or too big.

Study Notes

States of Matter and Particle Theory

  • Matter is anything with mass that occupies space (volume)
  • Mass measures the quantity of matter, typically in grams (g) or kilograms (kg)
  • Volume measures how big an object is or how much space it occupies
  • Volume is measured in litres (L) or millilitres (mL)

Models of Matter

  • Science uses models to explain behavior, especially for things too small or too big to see

Particle Theory of Matter

  • All matter consists of tiny particles known as atoms and molecules
  • Different substances have different kinds of particles
  • A substance is any form of matter with the same chemical composition
  • Particles are always in constant, random motion
  • Particles attract each other, and the attraction is stronger when they are closer
  • Particles move faster as temperature increases

Dissolving

  • Empty space exists between particles
  • Empty space allows things to dissolve/mix

States of Matter

  • There are three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas
  • The three states have different amounts of space between the particles
  • Solid: Particles are close together in a regular pattern and vibrate in a fixed position
  • Liquid: Particles are close together but arranged randomly and move around each other
  • Gas: Particles are far apart and move quickly in all directions

Classifying Matter

  • Matter is classified based on its composition
  • Pure substances have a definite, fixed composition
  • Examples: Gold, sodium chloride (salt), and water (H2O)
  • Mixtures are a combination of two or more substances
  • Solutions (homogeneous mixtures) have uniform properties and composition
  • Mechanical mixtures (heterogeneous mixtures) have visible individual components
  • Alloys are mixtures of two or more metals and are considered a solution
