Matter Powerpoint Notes
Name_____________________________________
Period: 1 4 6 7
Slide 1: Matter is anything that has mass (you measure this on a balance) and volume (if it’s a regular shaped obj you
measure this L x W x H….it it’s a irregular shaped object use displacement method…if it’s a liquid use a graduated
cylinder. Illustration:
.
Slide 2:
Solid
States of matter. and label each one.
Liquid
Gas
Plasma
Slide 3: Physical VRS Chemical Change
 A physical change is when a substance changes from one state of matter to another. S—>L-->-G
 A chemical change is when a ____________ ______________is formed. The new substance is totally different
from the original one. It has different properties
 Example: Physical change Ice melts into water
Chemical change: Cooking something
Slide 4. Atoms and Elements
ATOMS:
 Atoms are the building blocks of MATTER. There are about 118 known substances that make up all of the
substances on Earth. You can find all the different types of atoms on the periodic table.
 Atoms consists of: Protons ( ) charge
Neutrons ( ) charge
and
Electrons ( ).
ELEMENTS:
 Consist of only 1 type of and these are on the periodic chart. The elements are the names of the various
different atoms on the periodic chart
 Cannot be broken down into a simpler type of matter by either chemical changes or physical changes.
 Can exist as either atoms or molecules (when two or more atoms are combined chemically)
Slide 5:
MOLECULES:
 A molecule consists of two or MORE atoms of the same element, or different elements, that are chemically
bound together. Draw the illustration here:

In the animation above, two nitrogen atoms ( ______ + ______= __________ ) this makes one NITROGEN
molecule.
Slide 6: Compounds

Atoms of two or more different elements bonded together.

Can be separated into elements chemically, but not physically.

Slide 7:


Slide 8:
In the animation above, water (H 0) is a compound made of Hydrogen and Oxygen.
Solutions and Homogeneous
Solutions are groups of molecules that are mixed up in a completely even distribution.
Homogeneous uniform distribution: Example: Sugar and water
Solute and solvent:
Solvent:
The substance to be dissolved
The one doing the dissolving.
EX: Saltwater: in a solution of Saltwater the salt is the solvent and water is the solvent.

Slide 9:
 Making a solution:
1st Solute enters system
2nd Begins dissolving in the solvent
3rd Solute spreads evenly in the solvent
Slide 10: Colloids
 Particle sizes are in between the size of particles found in solutions and suspensions
 Can be mixed and remain evenly distributed without settling out.
 Examples: Milk
Cheese Jello
Slide 11: Mixtures and Heterogeneous
MIXTURES:
 They are substances held together by physical forces, not chemical.
 Can be separated physically.
 Solutions are also mixtures
 EXAMPLE: The ingredients in oil and vinegar salad dressing.
