1. Chapter 2: Matter and How It Can Change

2. Types of Matter
Substances: contains only one type of matter and has a uniform and definite composition
Element~
Composed of just one type of atom. They cannot be separated into simpler substances using chemical means.
They are represented by a chemical symbol (see Periodic Table).
Diatomic elements: 7 of them… start at seven, form a seven and Hydrogen.
For example: Gold (Au), Iron (Fe), Oxygen (O or O2)
Compound~
Substances composed of two or more different kinds of atoms. The atoms are chemically combined to form a molecule (or formula unit).
They are represented by a chemical formula which shows the elements and relative number of atoms in the compound.
For example: Water, H2O and Salt, NaCl.

3. Types of Matter Mixtures: a physical blend of two or more substances.
Homogenous~
Uniform in composition.
Transparent: solutions
Opaque: suspensions
Can be separated by distillation, ion exchange, reverse osmosis
For example: Koolaid, salt water, air, milk and blood
Heterogeneous~
Opaque, not uniform in composition and appearance
Can be separated by sieving, tweezing and skimming
For example: Sand, bronze, us and the ocean

4. States of Matter Solid~ Liquid~ Gas (Vapor)~ Plasma~
Definite shape and volume
Very slight thermal expansion and almost incompressible
Divided into subclasses of amorphous (or glassy) solids and crystalline solids
Arrangements of atoms or molecules in crystalline solids are repeated regularly over a very long range of millions of atoms
Arrangements in amorphous solids are somewhat random or short range of say some tens or hundreds of atoms.
Liquid~
Indefinite shape (flows) and definite volume
Moderate thermal expansion and almost incompressible
Gas (Vapor)~
Indefinite shape and indefinite volume
Great thermal expansion and readily compressible
A vapor is the gaseous form of a substance that is normally solid or liquid at room temperature
Plasma~
A very hot state of matter where atoms have been ripped apart into their smaller parts, protons and electrons.

6. Properties of Matter Everything is made of matter
Mass is the amount of matter (grams or kg)
Volume is the space that the matter takes up (cm)
Two main types:
Physical properties: A characteristic of a substance that can be measured or observed without changing the substance’s composition
Intensive-don’t change for a particular sample such as density, melting point, boiling point, color, solubility conductivity, ductility, and specific heat.
Extensive- depend on size of matter such as length, mass, height, volume, and area.
Chemical properties: A characteristic of a substance that describes how it interacts with other substances to become something new.

7. Changes in Matter Physical Change Chemical Changes
An alteration of matter that does not change the chemical composition of the material
For example: freezing or melting, boiling or condensing, cutting, grinding, bending, blending
Chemical Changes
Results in a change in the chemical composition of the substance(s) which is called a reaction.
For example: rusting, composting, tarnishing

10. Chemical Reactions
In a chemical reaction, one or more substances change into new substances by rearranging the atoms
Copper + nitric acid  copper(II) nitrate + nitrogen dioxide + water
Reactants  Products
The ability of a substance to undergo a chemical reaction and form new substances is called a chemical property.
How to tell a chemical reaction has occurred.
Heat is absorbed or given off.
Change in color or odor.
Production of a gas or solid.
Law of Conservation of Mass
During any chemical reaction, mass is neither created nor destroyed. The total mass of the system (products plus reactants) and the mass of each element is unchanged.
