1 Properties of matter

2 Describe the properties of gases, liquids, solids, and plasma in terms of density, compressibility and diffusion. KEY WORDS pure mixture homogeneous heterogeneous physical properties chemical properties

3 Anything that has mass and takes up space, or volume.
Matter: Anything that has mass and takes up space, or volume.

4 Pure substance Particles that make up a substance are all the same. Mixture Substance contains more than one kind of particle.

6 Elements Simplest form of matter; an atom is the smallest particle of an element. Compounds Form of matter containing two or more elements chemically bonded together. A molecule is the smallest particle of a compound.

8 Heterogeneous mixture - particles in are not evenly distributed and are often distinguishable.
Homogeneous mixture - particles of a are evenly distributed and cannot be easily separated.

9 Matter has two properties:
Physical properties: Can be observed without changing the substance's chemical composition. Physical properties: Colour Shiny or dull Brittle or malleable Density Phase (state) Conductivity - heat or current Solubility

10 2 H2O (l) + 2 Na (s)  2 NaOH (l) + H2 (g)
Chemical properties - can be observed or tested only when the substances identity is changed. Flammable Oxidize (rust or tarnish) React with an acid 2 H2O (l) Na (s)  2 NaOH (l) + H2 (g) H O Na

11 A physical change involves a change in shape or a change in state of a substance.

12 A chemical change is when new substances with new properties are formed - chemical reaction.
There are 5 indicators of a chemical reaction: A change in colour A change in smell (odor) 3. Fizzing or bubbling (releasing gas)

13 4. A change in energy a. The container feels warmer, heat is released. We call this an exothermic change. (exo = out, therm = heat) b. The container feels cooler, heat is absorbed. We call this an endothermic change. (endo = in, therm = heat)

14 5. When two clear liquids are mixed, a solid forms
or the mixture goes cloudy. This is called precipitate formation.

15 Diffusion - how easily one substance is able to move through another.
Must be little interaction between particles and space for the particles to move. Substances diffuse most easily through gases > liquids > solids

16

17 Plasma - a gaseous mixture of positive ions and electrons.
About 99% of all matter in the universe is plasma. (but it is rare on Earth) Examples - aurora borealis, stars and lightning bolts.

18 Physical property - testable characteristic.
Physical change - change in state or shape. Chemical property - can only be tested by changing the identity of the substance. Chemical change - new substances with new properties are formed.
