Matter: Matter is anything that has mass and takes up
space
Mass: Mass is a measure of the quantity of matter in an object
Volume: Volume is a measure of how much space an object takes up
Particle Arrangement in solids: In solids, the particles are close together (stronger attractive force)
Particle Arrangement in liquids: In liquids, the particles are farther apart (weaker attractive forces)
Particle Arrangement in gases: In gases, particles are very far apart (very weak forces)
The Particle Theory: The Particle Theory is a way to describe the
structure of matter and its behavior.
Particle Theory (4)
All matter is composed of very tiny objects called
particles
All particles have space between them
Particles present in matter are always in motion
The particles in a substance attract each other
Particles in ice:
In ice, the particles vibrate but cannot move around. The particles are
very attracted to each other.
Particles when heat is added: When heat is added, the particles slide past each other forming liquids and break away from each other forming gases as more heat is added.
Matter: Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space
Whats matter made of: Particles
What is a property: A property is a characteristic that describes a
substance.
How can substances be classified: Substances can be classified as pure substances or mixtures, depending on how their particles are arranged.
Matter is two categories: Mixtures and Pure substances
Pure substances are: Compounds and elements
Mixtures are: heterogeneous mixtures and homogeneous mixtures (uniform)
heterogeneous mixtures : Mechanical mixtures and suspensions
homogeneous mixtures (uniform): solutions
Compounds: a thing that is composed of two or more separate elements; H2O and CO2
elements: A substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means; Hydrogen, Carbon and Oxygen
heterogeneous mixtures: A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the composition is not uniform throughout the mixture; choc chip cookies, salad and pizza
homogeneous mixtures (uniform): A homogeneous mixture is a gaseous, liquid or solid mixture that has the same proportions of its components throughout a given sample. It is uniform in composition throughout; Blood, Air and Sea water
Mechanical Mixtures: When different kinds of matter are visible in the mixture it is called a mechanical mixture (or heterogeneous mixture). In a mechanical mixture, the particles are unevenly distributed in groups. Examples of mechanical mixtures include a toy box, cereal and milk or a pizza.
Suspensions: A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture of two or more substances. Here, the particles are suspended throughout the solution in bulk and can be easily seen by naked eyes. In it, particles of the solute do not dissolve in the solution and are rather suspended; Mud, sand in water and chalk in water
Mixtures:
Have two or more different types of particles
Three kinds of mixtures: mechanical mixtures,
solutions and suspensions.
Solutions:
In a solution the different substances that make it up
are not individually visible; sugar dissolved in tea or coffee
When you stir the sugar into the tea it appears to disappear
A physical Property: A physical property describes a characteristic of a substance that can be observed or measured.
Physical Properties: Colour, Taste, Odour, Clarity, Lustre, Texture, Form, Brittleness, Hardness, Malleability, Ductility, Viscosity, Conductivity, Cohesion and Adhesion and Density
Chemical Property: A chemical property describes the ability of a substance to change into a new substance or substances; Chemical properties include how a substance interacts with other substances, heat or light.
Chemical Change: A chemical change always results in the formation of a new substance or substances.
Chem reaction: A chemical reaction is a process in which a chemical change occurs.
Chemical properties can be observed only when a chemical
