1 What is Matter? Matter is… – Anything that has mass and takes up space – You are matter! – Your pencil/ pen is matter!

2 Atoms Atoms are… – The atom is the smallest unit of an element that maintains the properties of that element.

3 Atoms The Greek Philosopher Democritus suggested the atomic theory of the universe that stated all things are made up of indivisible and destructible particles called atoms.

4 Element An element is… – A pure substance made of only one kind of atom. – Examples: C, N, O, Au

5 Compounds Compounds are… – Substances that are made from atoms of two or more different elements chemically bonded together. – Ex: NaCl, CaCO 3

6 Molecules Molecules are… – Substances that are made from atoms of two or more alike or different element chemically bonded together. – Ex: O 2, H 2 (diatomics), NaCl

7 Compounds are ALWAYS molecules! but… Molecules are NOT necessarily Compounds,

8 Properties of Matter Extensive properties – Depend on the amount of matter present Intensive properties – Do not depend on the amount of matter present

9 Properties of Matter Extensive - Properties that do depend on the amount of matter present. Mass - A measurement of the amount of matter in a object (grams). Weight - A measurement of the gravitational force of attraction of the earth acting on an object. Volume - A measurement of the amount of space a substance occupies. Length

10 Properties of Matter Intensive - do not depend on the amount of the matter present. – Color – Odor – Luster - How shiny a substance is. – Malleability - The ability of a substance to be beaten into thin sheets. – Ductility - The ability of a substance to be drawn into thin wires. – Conductivity - The ability of a substance to allow the flow of energy or electricity. – Hardness - How easily a substance can be scratched. – Melting/Freezing Point - The temperature at which the solid and liquid phases of a substance are in equilibrium at atmospheric pressure. – Boiling Point - The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the pressure on the liquid (generally atmospheric pressure).

11 Types of Matter- Solids Solids are… – A matter state having a definite shape and volume. – Atoms are compact and close together with little/no movement – Ex: Nickel, quarter, chair, desk

12 Types of Matter- Liquids Liquids are… – A matter state having a definite volume but not a definite shape. – Liquids take the shape of the container. – Atoms are compact and close together with some movement – Ex: water, milk

13 Types of Matter- Gases Gasses are… – A matter state having neither a definite volume nor a definite shape. – Gasses diffuse to fill the room or whatever contains them – Atoms are far apart and there are great numbers of collisions between atoms. – Ex: hydrogen, oxygen

14 Physical Properties A physical property is… – A characteristic that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance. – Ex: Color, temperature, smell, taste, texture, hardness/ softness

15 Physical Change A physical change is… – A change in a substance that does not involve a change in the identity of the substance – A physical change can also be a change of state.

16 Changes of State Change of state (phase change) is… – The physical change from one state to another. – For example: Ice  Water  Vapor and vice versa

17 Changes of State Define each of the following: - evaporation- sublimation - condensation- boiling point - melting- melting point - freezing- freezing point All of the above are physical transformations.

18 Chemical Properties Chemical properties refer to… – The ability of a substance to undergo changes that transform into a different substance. – Ex: Flammability, Reactivity

19 Chemical Changes Chemical change refers to… – The change that occurs when one or more substances transforms into different substances.

20 Chemical Changes- Reactants vs. Products Reactants are… – The substances that react in a chemical chemical change. The original substance. Products are… – The substances formed by a chemical change that occurs. This is what you get out in the end.

21 Examples Are the following demonstrations of chemical change or physical change? – Water- Rusty Nail – Paper- Kool-Aid – Wood- Eating Candy – Dry Ice – Sodium- live if possible. Animation: http://www.pc.chemie.unisiegen.de/pci/versuc he/english/v44-1-1.html

22 Reaction of Na + H2O 2 Na + 2 H2O > 2 NaOH + H2 Which is the Reactants? Products? In summary, what happens is the sodium reacts violently with the water producing a lot of heat and hydrogen gas. This hydrogen gas ignites and you see an explosion.

23 Classifications of Matter- Mixtures Mixtures is… – A blend of two or more kinds of matter each having its own properties and identity. – Do NOT chemically combine! – Ex: Garlic and oil salad dressing, wood, milk

24 Homogeneous vs. Heterogeneous Homogeneous mixture – A mixture that is uniform in composition. Also, called solutions. – Ex: saltwater, sugarwater Heterogeneous mixture – A mixture not uniform in composition. – Can be separated usually by filter – Ex: blood, wood, fog

25 Classifications of Matter- Pure Substances A pure substance is… – A substance with a fixed composition and: Every sample of the pure substance has EXACTLY the same properties. Every sample of the pure substance has EXACTLY the same composition.

26 Pure Substances- Elements and Compounds A pure substance is… – Elements, or… – Compounds/ Molecules Compounds/ Molecules can be broken down into their individual parts. For example, C 6 H 12 O 6 (glucose) can be broken into carbon + water.
