Study Notes
States of Matter
- Three main states of matter:
- Solid: particles are closely packed, fixed shape and volume
- Liquid: particles are close together, takes shape of container, volume is fixed
- Gas: particles are widely spaced, takes shape and volume of container
- Changes between states:
- Melting: solid to liquid
- Freezing: liquid to solid
- Evaporation: liquid to gas
- Condensation: gas to liquid
Properties of Matter
-
Physical Properties:
- Color
- Odor
- Texture
- Density
- Solubility
-
Chemical Properties:
- Flammability
- Reactivity
- Toxicity
-
Extensive Properties:
- Mass
- Volume
-
Intensive Properties:
- Density
- Concentration
Elements
- Definition: a substance that consists of only one type of atom
-
Examples:
- Metals: sodium (Na), iron (Fe), copper (Cu)
- Nonmetals: oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), carbon (C)
- Metalloids: silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), arsenic (As)
- Symbol: a one- or two-letter representation of an element
- Atomic Number: the number of protons in an atom's nucleus
Compounds
- Definition: a substance formed by the chemical combination of two or more different elements
-
Examples:
- Water: hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O)
- Carbon Dioxide: carbon (C) and oxygen (O)
- Ammonia: nitrogen (N) and hydrogen (H)
- Chemical Formula: a representation of the elements and their ratios in a compound
- Properties: different from those of its individual elements
Mixtures
- Definition: a combination of two or more substances that are not chemically combined
-
Examples:
- Air: a mixture of gases, including nitrogen, oxygen, and others
- Soil: a mixture of minerals, organic matter, and other substances
- Trail Mix: a mixture of nuts, seeds, and dried fruits
- Properties: varies depending on the components and their proportions
- Components: can be separated by physical means, such as filtration or sedimentation
States of Matter
- Particles are closely packed, with fixed shape and volume in solids
- Particles are close together, taking shape of container, with fixed volume in liquids
- Particles are widely spaced, taking shape and volume of container in gases
- Melting occurs when a solid changes to a liquid
- Freezing occurs when a liquid changes to a solid
- Evaporation occurs when a liquid changes to a gas
- Condensation occurs when a gas changes to a liquid
