1 What is a physical characteristic? What is a chemical characteristic?
Monday, 9/25/ Day 1 Science Warm Ups AR Book under desk Agenda 1. Please have these Items on your desk. Science notebook Fill out your Agenda. Science Starter: What is a physical characteristic? What is a chemical characteristic?

2 Physical versus Chemical Properties

3 Reviewing MATTER Matter: anything that has mass and takes up space
Mass – the amount of matter in something Volume – the amount of space something occupies Which of the following is matter? A car? A box? You?

4 What is a property? Property: a characteristic of a substance that can be observed

5 Matter can be changed two ways
Physically Physical reaction Physical change Chemically Chemical reaction Chemical change

6 Physical Property Physical property: a property that can be observed without changing the identity of the substance. Examples: luster malleability: the ability to be hammered into a thin sheet ductility: the ability to be stretched into a wire melting point boiling point density solubility specific heat

7 Special Physical Properties
Melting point: the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid at a given pressure Boiling point: the temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas at a given pressure water = 100oC

8 Physical Changes Do NOT CHANGE THE TYPE OF MATTER
Nothing new or different is formed Could be a change in: A. Size B. Change in state C. Color D. Shape

9 Examples of Physical Changes
A. Boiling B. Freezing C. Dissolving D. Breaking E. Making a mixture 2 or more types of matter (substances) mixed together Not in specific amounts Can be separated physically

10 Chemical Properties Chemical property: a property that can only be observed by changing the identity of the substance Examples: flammability ability to rust reactivity with vinegar

11 Picture from www.chem4kids.com
Chemical Changes The composition of the substance changes. The substances present at the beginning of the change are not present at the end; new substances are formed. The change cannot be “undone.” Picture from

12 Evidence of Chemical Reactions
Chemical Reaction: The process by which the atoms of one or more substances are rearranged to form different substances. Temperature change Color change Gas or solid appears

14 4. An energy change (Temperature)
Endothermic reaction-a chemical reaction accompanied by the absorption of heat. Exothermic reaction-a chemical reaction that releases energy. The energy “ex”its. It is the opposite of an endothermic reaction.

15 Example of everyday endothermic reactions

16 Examples of everyday exothermic reactions

17 Chemical Changes Atoms are re-arranged, NOT created or destroyed

18 Law of Conservation of Matter
Matter is conserved  type of atoms does not change Nothing is created or destroyed

19 Change of Matter::::Physical change: Identity Retained.
This type involves a change in the observable properties of matter without a change of the substance identity.  In most physical change of matter, no bonds are broken between atoms and the identity of the substance is retained. Example:  Phase Change  In a phase change matter changes from solid, liquid or gas but the identity of the substance is retained. 


20 Change of Matter:::::Chemical change: Identity Changed

This type of change refers to a material changing to a completely different type of material or transformation to a new substance. This process involves bond breaking and bond forming such that material changes identity. 
  Example:  Decomposition of water. In the decomposition of water, water molecules H2O are broken down to hydrogen and oxygen.

21 Consider the following examples, which of these are phyiscal and which are chemical change
Heating sugar vs. adding sugar to water Cutting wood vs. burning wood. 3. The electrolysis of water vs. ice melting.

22 Answers. . . . . . . .. Physical Change Chemical Change
1. Sugar dissolving Sugar heating 2. Cutting Wood Burning Wood 3. Melting Ice Electrolysis of water
