 Matter is anything that: a) has mass, and volume

 SUBSTANCE – is a type of matter that has a defines,
fixed composition.
 Mass = a measure of the amount of “stuff” (or
material) the object contains (don’t confuse this with
weight, a measure of gravity)
 Volume = a measure of the space occupied by
the object
Types of properties

Physical Properties
Are those that a substance or shows by itself , without
changing Into or interacting with another substance.

Ex. Color , melting point and density

Chemical Properties
Are those that a substance shows as it change into or
interacts with another substance. Some of chemical
properties are flammability, corrosiveness , and reactivity with
acids.

Chemical Change also Called a chemical reaction

( occurs when a substance is converted into a different
substance)
 Words that describe matter (adjectives)
 Physical change- solid form of water becomes liquid
form; composition does not change because particles
are the same.
 Occurs when a substance alters its physical form, not its
composition, thus physical changes results in different
physical properties.
 Chemical change- electric current decomposes water
into different substances( hydrogen and oxygen);
composition does change because particles are
different.
Decide whether each of the following processes is primarily
A physical or a chemical change ,and explain briefly:

1.Frost forms as the temperature drops on a humid winter night.

2. A pea plant grows from a seed that is watered and fertilized.

3. A match ignites to form ash and a mixture of gases.

4. Sweat evaporates when you relax after jogging.

5. Rusting of Iron.
1) Solid- has a definite shape and volume that does not conform to the
container shape
2) Liquid-has a definite volume but no definite shape, it conforms to the
container shape, but fills the entire container only to the extent of the
liquids volume; thus a liquid forms a surface.
3) Gas- has no definite volume , no definite shape, it conforms to the
container shape, but fills the entire container and thus , does not form a
surface.
4) Plasma – is a very hot gas of nuclei and electrons, superheated gas and
electrically charged.
5) BEC – is a super unexcited and super cold at absolute zero.
Vapor- a substance that is currently a gas, but normally is a liquid or solid at
room temperature. (Which is correct: “water gas”, or “water vapor”?)

appearance, without changing the
composition of the material.
Boil, melt, cut, bend, split, crack
Is boiled water still water?
Can be reversible, or irreversible
Chemical change - a change where a
new form of matter is formed.
Rust, burn, decompose, ferment
The ability of a substance to undergo
a specific chemical change is called a
chemical property.
• iron plus oxygen forms rust, so the
ability to rust is a chemical property
of iron
During a chemical change (also called
chemical reaction), the composition of
matter always changes.
Substances are
either:
a) elements, or
b) compounds
 Elements- simplest kind of matter
 cannot be broken down any simpler and still have
properties of that element!
 all one kind of atom.
 Are substances that are made up
of only one type of atom.
Example: pure gold, oxygen gas, and sodium metal.
Elements are classified into metal, non-metal, and metalloids
Metals – are good conductors
Non-metal - are poor conductors
Metalloids – both have properties of metal and non metal
 Compounds – is a type of of matter
composed of two or more different
elements that are chemically bound
together examples are Ammonia (NH4)
, water (H2O), and carbon dioxide
(CO2) are some common compounds.
Mixed molecule by molecule, thus
too small to see the different parts
Can occur between any state of
matter: gas in gas; liquid in gas; gas
in liquid; solid in liquid; solid in solid
(alloys), etc.
Thus, based on the distribution of
their components, mixtures are called
homogeneous or heterogeneous.
 Mixtures are a physical blend of at
least two substances; have variable
composition. They can be either:
1) Heterogeneous – the mixture is not
uniform in composition
• Chocolate chip cookie, gravel, soil.
2) Homogeneous - same composition
throughout; called “solutions”
• Kool-aid, air, salt water
 Every part keeps it’s own properties.

Classification of Mixtures
Homogenous Mixtures
Have single phase and cannot be separated through
filtration
Examples :
a.Alloy bronze (Cu+ Sn) and water + salt = Salt Solution

Heterogeneous Mixtures
Are those with components that can be visually
distinguished and can be separated by physical means

Colloids - contains particles that does not settle like gelatin ,

foams ,emulsion, aerosols , and sols
Suspension – which contains particles that eventually settle
down like for example orange juice
Tyndahll Effect – when light scattered as it is focused on a
colloid.
