1 States of Matter What is Matter?

2 Matter: Anything that has volume and mass. Matter: Anything that has volume and mass. Volume: The amount of space an object takes up. If something takes up space it is matter. Volume: The amount of space an object takes up. If something takes up space it is matter. Mass: The amount of matter (stuff) in an object. Mass: The amount of matter (stuff) in an object. Density: the amount of matter in a given volume. Density: the amount of matter in a given volume.

3 The desks The tables The dust on the counter Our clothes Our books Us Everything is made of matter WhAt ThIngS ArE MaDe Of MaTteR?

4 Calculating Volume Liquid Volume: Liquid Volume: - Graduated Cylinder Solid Volume: Solid Volume: - Regular Shape; measure and calculate - Irregular Shape: Volume by Displacement

5 Density The amount of matter in a given volume The amount of matter in a given volume Density = mass divided by volume D =M Density = mass divided by volume D =MV Density can be used to identify substances Density can be used to identify substances The density is the same regardless of the size of the object. Mass = 96.6g Volume = 5.0 cm 3 Mass = 193.2g Volume = 10 cm 3 Mass = 48.3g Volume = 2.5 cm 3

6 Characteristic Properties A quality of a substance that never changes and can be used to identify the substance. (Also called physical property) A quality of a substance that never changes and can be used to identify the substance. (Also called physical property) These properties include: These properties include: - Melting Point - Boiling Point - Thermal Conductivity - Electrical Conductivity - Solubility - Hardness - Density - Malleability - Ductility

7 3 States of Matter 1. Solids 2. Liquids 3. Gases

8 Solids Solids  Particles of solids are tightly packed, vibrating about a fixed position.  Solids have a definite shape and a definite volume.  Solids do not flow easily because the particles cannot move/slide past one another

9 Liquids  Particles of liquids are tightly packed, but are far enough apart to slide over one another.  Liquids have an indefinite shape and a definite volume.  Liquids flow easily because the particles can move/slide past one another.

10 Gases  P P P Particles of gases are very far apart and move freely.  G G G Gases have an indefinite shape and an indefinite volume.  G G G Gases flow very easily because the particles randomly move past one another.
