Topic: Matter and Its Properties

What is Matter?

Matter – defined as anything that has __________ and ____________. Mass and volume measure different
aspects of matter.

Mass and volume are two units used to ______________________________.

Volume
- can be measured the amount of __________ that a substance or an object takes up
- is the amount of space an object occupies. It is measured in __________________ or Cubic
centimeter
Cubic meter - length x width x height

Mass
- can be measured the amount of ____________ in a substance or an object.
- is a way of measuring the amount of matter present in an object and is measured in
___________, ___________, _____________, or _______ using weighing scale or balance
scale. Mass is _____________.
The greater matter of an object the greater its mass.

States of Matter

Matter has _________________. Property tells something about a

material that you can observe using your ___________________, by
knowing its properties you can differentiate solid, liquid, and gas or what
we call the 3 states of matter.
Solid - has a _____________ shape that doesn't change when you
move it or put in a container. It has ______________ mass and
volume that is because the atoms in solid objects are packed
closely together.
 Liquid - has definite _________ and __________ but they do not have a definite ________. The atoms
in liquid are ___________ together and this allows a matter in a liquid to flow. Because liquid has no
definite shape, they take their shape from their containers.

Gas - has definite mass but they do not have definite ___________ or shape. The atoms in a gas are
____________ apart and they can move freely.

Gases are _____________ but they are still there. Examples: Nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide,
helium, and water vapor.

Properties of Matter

Color - describes the ____________ or __________________

Shape - describes the ____________ of an object
Size - is how _________ and __________ an object is
Texture - is the _______________ and _______________ of an object

Physical Property - refers to the characteristic or trait of matter that can be _____________ or perceived
with our senses easily without changing its chemical composition.

Extensive Property
- depend on the amount of matter of an object. This includes __________, __________,
__________, __________, and _____________.

Intensive Property
-pertains to the ____________ of matter and depend on the type of matter. It includes
hardness, brittleness, flexibility, elasticity, conductivity, malleability, ductility, porosity,
temperature of an object, and others.
Hardness - ability of matter to be _________.
Example: _____________ - hardest material on earth, wood and metals that can be used to
construct buildings and houses.
Brittleness - ability to break ___________ .
Flexibility - ability of matter to be bent without ______________.
Elasticity - ability of matter to be _______________ and return to its original shape.
Conductivity - ability of matter to let _________ and _____________ to pass through
 Malleability - ability of matter to be ______________ into thin sheets
Ductility - ability of matter to __________ into wires.
Porosity - ability of matter to ___________ liquid
Temperature - ____________ or _______________ of an object

Chemical Property - this is the characteristic or trait that can be observed when a matter ________ to another
_______________. This also include flammability, toxicity, acidity, reactivity (many types), and heat of
combustion.

Classifications of Matter

_________________
A mixture is a physical blend of two or more ______________; each of which retains its own identity and
properties.

Homogenous - which the composition of its constituents is

______________ mixed throughout. A homogenous mixture
may also be called as a _____________ in which one
substance, the ________ dissolves completely in another
substance, the ________ (part that dissolves the other
substance).
Heterogenous - a _______________ mixture in which the
component separates and the composition varies and it can
be separated through physical processes.

Heterogenous mixtures containing large, dispersed solid particles that settle out is called
________________. It can be separated by filtration
Heterogenous mixture containing two liquids that cannot dissolve each other or _______________ is
called _______________.
Mixtures containing small dispersed particles that remain suspended or does not settle out is called
______________. This is a special type of mixture. It cannot be filtered.

Colloid has __________ effect which

means scattering or reflection of light by
the colloidal particles.
Different Methods on Separating Mixture
___________________ are substances that are made up of only one kind of particles and has a fixed or
constant structure. or constant structure.

Two Categories of Pure Substance

____________________
- is the simplest form of matter that has a unique set of properties. It is a pure substance
that cannot be broken down into different types of substances.
___________________
- is a substance that contains two or more elements chemically combined in a fixed
proportion.
