1 The Properties of Matter

2 Characteristic vs. Non characteristic properties
A characteristic property is something that is specific to that substance. (i.e. Density, melting point, boiling point) Non-characteristic properties are common to many substances. (i.e. states of matter, temperature, volume, mass, acidity and alkalinity)

3 Brainstorm With a partner write down 2 examples of characteristic properties of a substance and/or material. And... 4 examples of non-characteristic properties I will give you 10 minutes to write down your answers and then I will randomly pick a few pairs to discuss their answers.

4 Terminology States of matter : (solid, liquid or gas)
Mass : the quantity of matter of the substance Volume: the space that matter occupies Temperature: quantity of heat an object or matter contains Acidity and alkalinity : determines whether a substance is an acid, a base or neutral in its chemical composition.

5 Properties of matter

6 States of Matter Solids:
- Particles held tightly together by chemical bonds - Particles cannot move freely. Only vibrate

7 States of Matter Liquids:
- Particles held weakly together (compared to solids) - Particles can move slightly with respect to each other.

8 States of Matter Gases: - Particles are far apart from each other.
- Particles move freely

9 Particle Theory Matter is composed of particles that are invisible to the naked eye.

10 UNITS Metre : (m)  Length Kilogram : (kg)  mass Gram : (g)  mass
Second: (s)  time Litre (L)  volume Millilitre (mL)  volume Cubic centimetre cm3

11 Volume Definition: the magnitude of the three-dimensional space enclosed within or occupied by an object, geometric solid, etc. 

12

13 Brainstorm With a partner brainstorm 5 reasons of why it is important to measure the volume of various substances and/or materials. I will give you 10 minutes to write down your 5 reasons then I will pick randomly a few pairs to discuss their answers.
