Study Notes
Definition of Matter
- Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass.
- Composed of the smallest particles: atoms, molecules, and ions.
States of Matter
-
Solid
- Particles closely packed in a fixed, orderly crystalline structure.
- Minimal space between particles; they vibrate in place.
-
Liquid
- Particles are close but not in a fixed arrangement, allowing them to move past each other.
- Slightly more space between particles compared to solids; liquids flow and take the shape of their container.
-
Gas
- Particles are far apart and not arranged; they move rapidly and collide with each other and container walls.
-
Plasma
- Lacks definite volume or shape; consists of ionized gases with free electrical charges, making it electrically conductive.
- Formed by heating and ionizing a gas.
-
Bose-Einstein Condensate
- Created by cooling atoms to near absolute zero, reducing their motion and free energy.
- Atoms clump together and behave as identical entities.
Properties of Matter
-
Physical Properties
- Determination does not involve a change in composition (e.g., boiling point, color).
-
Chemical Properties
- Involve a change in composition during determination or measurement (e.g., reactivity).
-
Extensive Properties
- Depend on the amount of matter, changing with the substance's quantity (e.g., mass, volume).
-
Intensive Properties
- Do not depend on the amount of substance (e.g., density, melting point).
Separating Mixtures
-
Decantation
- Separates immiscible liquids or solids from liquids using gravity.
-
Evaporation
- Used to separate dissolved solids from homogeneous mixtures; involves heating until liquid evaporates.
-
Magnetism
- Removes magnetic solids from nonmagnetic components in a mixture.
-
Filtration
- Separates solid-liquid mixtures by passing them through a filter, trapping the solid.
-
Chromatography
- Separates components based on solubility, using a stationary phase and a moving fluid (used for color pigments).
Types of Matter
- Three main classifications: elements, compounds, and mixtures.
