    Study Notes

    States of Matter

    • Matter occupies space and has mass; it consists of particles, primarily atoms.
    • There are four common states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and two additional ones: plasma and Bose-Einstein condensate.
    • Solid: Definite shape and volume, particles closely packed, strong attraction, incompressible.
    • Liquid: No definite shape but has a definite volume, particles can slide past each other, strong attraction.
    • Gas: No definite shape or volume, large spaces between particles, fast random motion, compressible.
    • Plasma: Ionized gas, very high temperature, occurs in stars and lightning, considered the most common state of matter in the universe.
    • Bose-Einstein Condensate: Created at temperatures close to absolute zero, particles behave as a single quantum entity.

    Properties of Matter

    • Physical Properties: Observable characteristics without changing the identity of the substance.
      • Examples: electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, density, solubility, malleability, magnetic attraction, melting point, luster, boiling point.
    • Chemical Properties: Indicates how a substance can change into a new substance.
      • Examples: flammability, reactivity, changes in color or odor.

    Intensive and Extensive Properties

    • Intensive Properties: Do not depend on the amount of substance; examples include density and melting point.
    • Extensive Properties: Depend on the amount of substance; examples include mass, volume, length, and number of moles.

    Classification of Matter

    • Matter can be classified into pure substances and mixtures.
    • Pure Substances: Have a definite composition and properties.
      • Elements: Cannot be decomposed, consist of one type of atom (e.g., hydrogen, carbon).
      • Compounds: Composed of two or more types of atoms combined chemically (e.g., water, carbon dioxide).
    • Mixtures: Combinations of two or more substances.
      • Homogeneous Mixtures: Uniform in appearance, only one phase (e.g., solutions).
      • Heterogeneous Mixtures: Contain two or more phases and can be separated by physical means (e.g., sand and salt).

    Laboratory Activity: Paper Chromatography

    • Objective: To determine if inks are pure substances or mixtures through chromatography.
    • Materials: Filter paper strips, plastic cups, various colored inks, ruler, isopropyl alcohol, etc.
    • Procedure: Draw a line on filter paper, apply ink, immerse paper in solvent, and observe separation over time.
    • Expected Outputs: Document results with photos and a written procedure.

    Key Concepts

    • Particle interactions and arrangements vary across different states of matter and affect their properties.
    • Understanding physical vs. chemical properties is crucial for identifying substances.
    • Intensive and extensive properties provide insights into how substances respond to environmental changes.
