Matter and Change
• Matter – anything that has mass and
takes up space
• Mass- amount of matter an object
contains
• Materials – differ in type of matter they
are composed of
The Properties of Matter
• Extensive properties – depend on the
amount of matter that is present
– Example – volume, mass, amount of energy
in the substance
• Intensive properties – do not depend on
the amount of matter that is present
– Example – melting point, boiling point, density
• Substance – matter that is uniform and
has a definite composition
– All samples of an identical substance have
the identical physical and chemical
properties
Physical property – quality or condition of a
substance that can be observed or measured
without changing the substance’s
composition
Properties of Matter
When a substance undergoes a physical change, its
physical appearance changes.
Ice melts: a solid is converted into a liquid.
Physical changes DO NOT result in a change of
composition.
Examples of Physical Properties
 Color
 Odor
 Hardness
 Density
 Solubility
 Melting
point, boiling point, freezing
point
 Physical state – solid, liquid, gas

Classification of Matter
States of Matter
Matter can be a gas, a liquid, or a
solid.
Gases have no fixed shape or
volume.
Gases can be compressed to
form liquids.
Liquids have no shape, but they
do have a volume.
Solids are rigid and have a
definite shape and volume.
Gas and vapor not the same
Gas – normally exists that way at
room temperature
Vapor – gas state of a substance that
is normally a liquid or solid at room
temperature
Physical change
• A change which alters a
material without changing its
composition
• Cutting, grinding, melting,
boiling, freezing, dissolving
• Physical and Chemical Changes
Mixtures
Physical blend of two or more
substances
Composition can vary
2 types:
Heterogeneous
Homogeneous
Heterogeneous Mixture
Not uniform in composition
Has 2 or more phases
Phase – any part of a system
with uniform composition and
properties
Dirt, salad, paper, rocky road
ice cream
Homogeneous Mixture
 Has
a completely uniform
composition
 All components are evenly
distributed
 Consists of a single phase
 Called a SOLUTION
Solution – what do you think of?
• Can be gas, liquid, or solid!!!!!
Separating mixtures
Use PHYSICAL methods
 Magnet, sifting,
 Liquid mixtures – distillation
Page 47
Organic distillation
Distillation
Substances
Can be elements or compounds
 Element – definition
 Compound – 2 or more elements that
have been CHEMICALLY combined.
 Can only be separated by CHEMICAL
means
• Sugar + heat carbon + water
• Water + electric current  hydrogen +
oxygen
Properties of compounds

MUCH DIFFERENT THAN THE
PROPERTIES OF THE ELEMENTS
FROM WHICH THEY ARE
COMPOSED!!!!!

Chemical Change

A change that produces matter with a
different composition than the original
matter
Properties of Matter
When a substance changes its composition, it undergoes a
chemical change:
When pure hydrogen and pure oxygen react completely, they
form pure water.

Chemical Reactions



One or more substances change
into new substances
REACTANT(S)  PRODUCT(S)
 means “change into”, “produce”,
“yields”
Chemical Property
• The ability of a substance to
undergo chemical reactions and to
form new substances
• Rusting, burning, fermenting,
exploding, rotting, decomposing
• Iron and sulfur example
Indications that a
chemical reaction has
occurred
• Energy released or absorbed
• Color change
• Odor released
• Production of a gas
• Irreversibility
• Production of light
Law of Conservation of
Mass
• During any chemical reaction,
the mass of the products is
always equal to the mass of the
reactants.
