Matter
Chemistry
• What things are made of and
how things change.
Matter
• Has mass and takes up space.
• Matter is made up of atoms
• Light sound and electricity are
NOT matter
• Why?
Atoms
The smallest particle that
has the properties of
an element.
Element – a substance that cannot
be broken down into simpler
substances.
All the atoms in the substance are alike
Elements
• Each element has a one or two
letter symbol used worldwide to
designate it.
• The chart that shows
all the known elements
is called the Periodic
Table of Elements.
Compounds
• When two or more elements
combine chemically you get a
compound.
Molecule
• The smallest unit of a substance
that exhibits all the properties of
that substance.
Chemical formulas
• The combination of chemical
symbols (and how many atoms of
each) make up a molecule of a
substance.
Pure Substance vs.
Mixtures
• Pure substances – any
substance that has a fixed
composition and definite
properties.
Table sugar - C12H22O11
Hydrogen - H
• Mixtures - A combination of
substances that are not fixed;
they can change
OJ – is a mixture of water, citric
acid and sugar among other
things. Any drop of Orange Juice
can have different amounts of
the different components.
Air – CO2, N2, O2
Classifications of Mixtures
• Homogeneous Mixtures – a
mixture that is the same
throughout (completely
mixed)
• Heterogeneous Mixtures –
a mixture where you can
see all the parts.
(incompletely mixed)

Properties of Matter

Changes of Matter
• Physical Changes
• Chemical Changes
Physical Properties
• characteristics of
a material which
can be observed
without changing
the identity of the
substances in
the material.
Ex. include color,
shape, size, melting
point, and boiling point,
density
Physical Properties
• Appearance – physical description of a
substance.
• Behavior – how a substance acts; for
example, magnetism, viscosity, ductility.
• Physical properties such as size and
magnetism can be used to separate
mixtures.
Density
• The mass per unit volume of
a substance.
(how much matter is packed into a
specific amount of a substance)
• d = m/v
• Density is a physical
property.
Physical Change
• A change in a
• Examples:
substance’s
change in size,
physical property
shape, or state
(properties).
of matter.
• Substance does
not change
identity when it
undergoes a
physical change.
Physical Change:
Change of State
• When a substance
goes from one
state of matter to
another the
substance does
not change into
another substance.
(ice, water, steam
– are all H2O)
• Therefore –
Change of State
is a Physical
Change.
Example: melting,
boiling, freezing,
condensation,
sublimation,
evaporation, etc.
Physical Change:
Dissolving
• When a substance dissolves, it
seems to disappear because the
particles of the substance spread
out between the particles of the
liquid. Neither substance
changes into another substance,
therefore:
• Dissolving is a physical change.
Chemical Properties
• Characteristics
of a substance
indicating that
it can change
chemically.
• Examples:
flammability or
light sensitivity of
a substance,
production of a
gas, production
of a precipitate,
change in odor.
Chemical Change
• When one substance
changes to another
substance.
• Some chemical changes
are indicated by
temperature change,
smell, or bubble
formation.
• Other chemical changes occur
very slowly such as the
formation of rust.
