The Properties of Matter and Its Various Forms
I. Learning Competency with Code
Use properties of matter to identify substances and to separate them
STEM_GC11MPIa-b-5
Recognize the formulas of common chemical substances
STEM_GC11MPIa-b-9
II. Background Information for Learners
 Everything around us is matter, which is composed of varrying

combinations of any of 114 elements identified to be present in the universe,
including Earth. These elements are later found out to be composed of
atoms - the building blocks of matter.
a. Atoms – the smallest particle
b. Molecules – composed of atoms
c. Ions – particles with charges
 Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass. The three states
of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. ... Extensive properties depend on the
amount of material and include mass and volume. The ratio of two
extensive properties, mass and volume, is an important
intensive property called density.
 All matter has physical and chemical properties. Physical properties are
characteristics that scientists can measure without changing the
composition of the sample under study, such as mass, color, and volume
(the amount of space occupied by a sample). Chemical properties describe
the characteristic ability of a substance to react to form new substances;
they include its flammability and susceptibility to corrosion. All samples of a
pure substance have the same chemical and physical properties. For
example, pure copper is always a reddish-brown solid (a physical property)
and always dissolves in dilute nitric acid to produce a blue solution and a
brown gas (a chemical property).
 Physical properties can be extensive or intensive. Extensive properties vary
with the amount of the substance and include mass, weight, and
volume. Intensive properties, in contrast, do not depend on the amount of
the substance; they include color, melting point, boiling point, electrical
conductivity, and physical state at a given temperature. For example,
elemental sulfur is a yellow crystalline solid that does not conduct electricity
and has a melting point of 115.2 °C, no matter what amount is examined.
Scientists commonly measure intensive properties to determine a
substance’s identity, whereas extensive properties convey information about
the amount of the substance in a sample.
 A mixture is a physical blend of two or more components, each of which
retains its own identity and properties in the mixture . Only the form of the
salt is changed when it is dissolved into water. It retains its composition and
properties.
 A homogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the composition is uniform
throughout the mixture. The salt water described above is homogeneous
because the dissolved salt is evenly distributed throughout the entire salt
water sample. Often it is easy to confuse a homogeneous mixture with a
pure substance because they are both uniform. The difference is that the
composition of the substance is always the same. The amount of salt in the
salt water can vary from one sample to another. All solutions would be
considered homogeneous because the dissolved material is present in the
same amount throughout the solution.
 A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the composition is not
uniform throughout the mixture. Vegetable soup is a heterogeneous mixture.
Any given spoonful of soup will contain varying amounts of the different
vegetables and other components of the soup.
 A phase is any part of a sample that has a uniform composition and
properties. By definition, a pure substance or a homogeneous mixture
consists of a single phase. A heterogeneous mixture consists of two or more
phases. When oil and water are combined, they do not mix evenly, but
instead form two separate layers. Each of the layers is called a phase.
 One characteristic of mixtures is that they can be separated into their
components. Since each part of the mixture has not reacted with another
part of the mixture, the identities of the different materials is unchanged.
 Methods of Separating Mixtures:
-Filtration: to separate a solid from a liquid in a heterogeneous mixture
using a filtering membrane, like paper or cloth
-Distillation: to separate a liquid in a homogeneous mixture
-Magnetic separation: to separate a magnetic solid from a heterogeneous
mixture Decantation: to separate a solid from a liquid in a heterogeneous
mixture based on gravity
-Sublimation: to separate a volatile solid from a non-volatile solid
