2.1 Properties of Matter

Describing Matter
◦ Properties used to describe matter can be
classified as extensive or intensive
 Extensive property – is a property that depends on
the amount of matter in a sample.
 Mass – a measure of the amount of matter the object
contains
 Volume – measure of the space occupied by the object
 Intensive property – is a property that depends on
the type of matter in a sample, not the amount.
 Hardness, color, texture, etc.

Identifying Substances
◦ Every sample of a given substance has
identical intensive properties because every
sample has the same composition.
 Substance – Matter that has a uniform and definite
composition.
 Physical property – a quality or condition of a
substance that can be observed or measured
without changing the substance’s composition.

States of Matter
◦ Three states of matter are solid, liquid, and
gas.
 Solid – a form of matter that has a definite shape
and volume
 Liquid – form of matter that has an indefinite shape,
flows, yet has a fixed volume.
 Gas – form of matter that takes both the shape and
volume of its container.

Solid
◦ Have definite shape and volume
◦ Particles are packed close/tight together in a form
held together by molecular forces.
◦ Divided into two categories
 Crystalline – orderly arrangement
 Iron, ice, and diamond
 Amorphous – no order
 Rubber and wax

Liquid
◦ Has a definite volume but no shape
◦ Take shape of the container they occupy.
◦ Particles are tightly packed together, but are
able to slide pass each other
◦ Particles move fast enough to overcome
molecular forces

Gas
◦ Are free to move in all directions
◦ Gases expand to fill a space.
◦ Particles move fast enough to break away
from each other
◦ Particles move rapidly

Physical Changes – some properties of a
material change, but the composition of
the material does not change.
 Physical changes can be classified as
reversible or irreversible.

◦ Reversible - Boil, freeze, melt, condense,
◦ Irreversible - break, split, grind, cut, and crush
Physical Properties describe Matter.
Color, shape, melting point, boiling point,
density, strength, hardness, ability to
conduct electricity, etc.
 Melting point – temperature and pressure
at which a solid becomes a liquid
 Boiling point – temperature at which a
liquid becomes a gas.
 Density – ratio of the mass of a substance
to the volume of a substance. D = M/V

2.2 Mixtures

Classifying Mixtures
◦ Mixture is physical blend of two or more
components.
 Chicken noodle soup
 Air
◦ Based on the distribution of their
components, mixtures can be classified as
heterogeneous mixtures or as homogeneous
mixtures.

Homogenous mixture (solution) – is a
mixture in which the composition is uniform
throughout.
◦ Stainless steel – mixture of iron, chromium, &
nickel.

Heterogeneous Mixtures
◦ A mixture in which the composition is not
uniform

Phase – used to describe any part of a
sample with uniform composition and
properties.
 Italian dressing. – oil phase floats on top of the water phase.

Separating Mixtures
◦ Differences in physical properties can be used
to separate mixtures.
◦ Filtration – separates a solid from the liquid in
a heterogeneous mixture.
 Water and sand
◦ Distillation – liquid is boiled to produce a
vapor that is then condensed into a liquid.
(see Fig 2.8, pg 47).

2.3 Elements and Compounds

Element – is the simplest form of matter
that has a unique set of properties.
◦ Oxygen (O2) Hydrogen (H2)

Compound – is a substance that contains
two or more elements chemically combined
in a fixed proportion.
◦ Water (H2O)

Compounds can be broken down into
simpler substance by chemical means, but
elements cannot.

Breaking Down Compounds:
◦ Physical methods that are used to separate
mixtures cannot be used to break a compound
into simpler substances.
◦ Chemical change is a change that produces matter
with a different composition than the orginal
matter.
 Sugar broken down into C and H2O(g) when heated.
 Broken down into H2 and O2 by passing a current
through

Properties of Compounds
◦ Compounds and the elements from which they
form have different properties.
◦ Chlorine (Cl2) is a poisonous gas, while sodium
(Na) is a extremely reactive solid, combined they
form NaCl, table salt.

Distinguishing Substances and Mixtures
◦ If the composition of a material is fixed, the
material is a substance.
◦ If the composition of a material may vary, the
material is a mixture.

Symbols and formulas
◦ Chemists use chemical symbols to represent
elements, and chemical formulas to represent
compounds.
◦ Chemical symbol – each element is represented by
one or a two letter symbol. 1st letter is always
captialized.

2.4 Chemical Reactions
Chemical properties: burn, rot, rust,
decompose, ferment, explode, and
corrode, are used to describe a chemical
change.
 Chemical property – is the ability of a
substance to undergo a specific chemical
change.
 During a chemical change, the
composition of matter always changes.

Chemical reaction – is when one or more
substance change into one or more new
substances.
 A chemical reaction (rxn) has two parts the
reactants and the products.
 Reactant – substance present at the start of
the rxn
 Product – substance produced in the rxn.
 H2 + O2 → 2H2O


Recognizing Chemical Changes
◦ Possible clues to chemical change include a transfer
of energy, a change in color, the production of a
gas, or the formation of a precipitate.
◦ Precipitate – is a solid that forms and settles out of
a liquid mixture.
◦ The only way to know for sure if a chemical change
is to test the composition of the sample before and
after the change.


Conservation of Mass
◦ During any chemical rxn, the mass of the products
is always equal to the mass of the reactants.
◦ Law of Conservation of Mass – states that in any
physical change or chemical rxn, mass is conserved.
