Introduction to Matter

Matter – Anything that occupies space and has mass.


Mixture – Form of matter that we can observe.
Consist of two or more substances that are physically combined.
Homogeneous – Homogeneous mixtures are distributed uniformly throughout the mixture.
Solution – Homogeneous mixtures can be called a solution.
Solvent - liquid substance that makes up the bulk of the solution.
Solute - substances which are dissolved in the solvent.
Heterogeneous – Heterogeneous mixtures can still identify the presence of the substances in the
mixture.
Suspension – A mixture that separates on standing.
Colloid - A substance microscopically dispersed evenly throughout another substance.
Pure Substance – Form of matter that cannot be separated into two different species by any physical
means.
Elements – The simplified form of matter which cannot be decomposed by ordinary chemical means.
Metal – Substances with lustrous appearance and are malleable, ductile, and good conductors
of heat and electricity.
Nonmetal – Substances with dull appearance and are brittle and poor conductors of heat and
electricity.
Metalloid - Elements that have the properties intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
Compound – Composed of two or more elements.
Acid - Any substance that in water solution tastes sour.
Base – Bases are ionic compounds that contain metal and hydrogen ions.
Bases taste bitter and are slippery when dissolved in water.
Salt - Compound produced by a neutralization reaction between an acid and a base.
Mass – the amount of matter in an object
Weight – A measure of the force of gravity on an object
Volume – The amount of space occupies by matter.
Reminder: Always use GAS in solving!

Density -The measurement of how much mass of a substance is contained in a given volume.
D is the mass (m) per unit volume (V) of a material.
Formula: D = m/V Density = g/cm3
States of Matter
1. Solid - Particles of solids are tightly packed, vibrating about a fixed position.
Solids have a definite shape and a definite volume.
2. Liquid -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
3. Gas - Particles of gases are very far apart and move freely.
Gases have an indefinite shape and an indefinite volume.
4. Plasma - A plasma is an ionized gas.
A plasma is a very good conductor of electricity and is affected by magnetic fields.
Plasmas, like gases have an indefinite shape and an indefinite volume.
exist at extremely high temperatures
5. Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) – exists at extremely low temperatures –2730C

Phases of Matter

The reversible physical change that occurs when a substances changes from one state of matter to another.

Chemical Properties of Matter


1. Ability to change in odor 6. Ability to give off light and heat
2. Ability to change in color 7. Ability to form precipitate
3. Ability to form gases
4. Ability to change in temperature and energy
5. Ability to change in form
Physical Properties of Matter

1. Intensive property – properties that depend on the kind of matter regardless of its amount.
2. Extensive property – properties that depend on the amount of matter.

Vocabulary
Malleable – capable of being stretched or bent into different shapes by beating with a hammer / the ability to be
pounded into thin sheets.
Ductile - the ability to be drawn or pulled into a wire.
Brittle – easily broken or cracked / not strong / easily damaged

Reminder: Review the ff.: branches of science, scientific method, laboratory apparatus, and lab safety rules.
