Study Notes
States of Matter
- Matter exists in three primary states: solid, liquid, and gas.
- The arrangement of particles determines the state and properties of matter.
Solids
- Particles are closely packed in a regular arrangement.
- Particles vibrate but maintain a fixed position.
- Solids have a fixed volume and shape.
- Solids are generally not able to flow.
- Solids have high density.
- Particles have low energy; they only vibrate around a fixed point.
- Examples include wood, metal, stone, plastic.
Liquids
- Particles are closely packed but not in a regular arrangement.
- Particles can move past each other.
- Liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container.
- Liquids are able to flow.
- Liquids have moderate density.
- Particles have moderate energy; they can move and flow but slowly.
- Examples include water, milk, bleach, acid.
Gases
- Particles are widely spaced and have no regular arrangement.
- Particles move randomly and rapidly.
- Gases have a variable volume and shape; they take the shape and fill the container they are in.
- Gases are able to flow.
- Gases have low density.
- Particles have high energy; they move rapidly and freely.
- Examples include air, oxygen, carbon dioxide.
Changes of State
- Particles gain energy when heated.
- Melting occurs when a solid changes to a liquid at its melting point.
- Boiling occurs when a liquid changes to a gas at its boiling point.
- Sublimation is when a solid changes directly to a gas.
- The arrangement of particles changes during each state change.
Melting and Boiling Points
- Each substance has a specific melting and boiling point.
- The purity of a substance can be checked using melting and boiling points.
- Impurities in a substance cause its melting and boiling points to span a range of temperatures.
Gas Pressure
- Gas pressure is the force exerted by gas particles on the container walls.
- Pressure increases with the number of particles or the temperature.
- High pressure can be caused by a high number of particles in a small space or by a high temperature.
Dissolving
- Dissolving is the process of mixing a solute into a solvent until it is evenly mixed.
- The rate of dissolving is affected by temperature, surface area and stirring.
- Solutes dissolve faster with increased temperature, greater surface area and stirring.
- A solution is a liquid mixture containing a dissolved solute.
Diffusion
- Particles move from high concentration areas to low concentration areas.
- Diffusion occurs in liquids and gases.
- Diffusion is faster at higher temperatures.
Filtration
- Separating an insoluble solid from a liquid.
- Insoluble solid is filtered out; the liquid passes through.
Distillation
- Separating a soluble solid from a solvent.
- The solvent is heated, evaporates, then condensed and collected.
Evaporation
- Separating a soluble solid from a solvent by evaporating the solvent.
- Solid remains once solvent is evaporated.
Separating Rock Salt
- Separating sand and salt from a mixture using appropriate techniques like filtration or evaporation.
- Sand is insoluble, salt is soluble.
Compounds and Mixtures
- Compounds are formed when elements chemically bond.
- Mixtures contain physically combined substances.
