Matter
What is Matter?
Matter
• Matter is what the
world is made of.
• Matter has mass
and volume
• All objects
consists of matter.
Mass
• A measure of the quantity of
matter in an object
• Measured by grams (g) and
kilograms (kg)
• Doesn’t change due to location
Weight
• Weight is the response of
mass to the pull of gravity.
Metric unit of weight is the
Newton (N).
• Does change due to location
Mass vs. Weight
• Weight = mass x acceleration
of gravity
• Mass kg X 9.8 m/s2 = Weight
(on earth) N
• What is your weight on earth?
(Remember 1 kg = 2.2 lbs)
What is your weight on
earth?
• mass X 9.8 m/s2 = Weight (on
earth)
• (Remember 1 kg = 2.2 lbs)
Volume
• The amount of space an object
takes up is called its volume.
• Volume is measured in liters
(L), milliliters (mL), and cubic
centimeters (cm3)
Chemistry
• The study of matter and how
it changes
Element
• A substance that cannot be
broken down into simpler
substances
• Everything
is made of
elements
Atom
• Smallest particle of an element
• Has all the properties of that
element
• Unique
Molecule
• Smallest unit of a compound
that exhibits all the properties
and characteristic of that
compound
 Element
•a substance that cannot be
broken down into simpler
substances
Compound
• A substance
made of atoms
of more than
one element
bound together

Kinetic Theory
• All matter is made up of atoms
and molecules that act like tiny
particles
• Tiny particles are always in motion.
The higher the temperature the
faster they move
• At the same temperature heavier
particles move slower than lighter
particles
States of Matter
• Four phases of matter
 Solid
 Liquid
 Gas
 Plasma
Gases
• Do not have a regular shape
• Nor a regular volume
• Take on the shape of their
container
Particles of a Gas
• Move fast enough
to overcome nearly
all of the attraction
between them
• The particles move
independently of
one another
Gas
Pressure
• Force exerted
per unit area
on a surface
•P = F / A
Pressure
• Gas particles exert
pressure by hitting
the walls of a
balloon.
• The balloon pops
because the
internal pressure is
more than the
balloon can hold.
Liquids
• Have a definite volume
• Do not have a definite shape
• Take on the shape of their
container
• Viscosity
 The resistance of a liquid to flow
Particles of a Liquid
• Move fast enough
to overcome some
of the attraction
between them
• The particles are
able to slide past
one another
Liquid
Solids
• definite shape
• definite volume
• Crystalline Solids
 In many solids, the particles are
arranged in a regular, repeating
pattern called a crystal. (i.e.
salt, quartz)
Crystals
Solids
• Amorphous solids
 lose their shape under certain
conditions
•(i.e. tar, candle wax, glass)
Amorphous Solids:
Candle Wax
Particles of a solid
• Do not move fast
enough to overcome
the strong attraction
between them
• So they are held
tightly in place.
• The particles vibrate
in place.
Plasma
• Rare on earth. (lightning)
• Most common phase in the
universe
• Stars, like our Sun
• Matter in plasma phase is high in
energy, and is dangerous to living
things
Plasma
Plasma
Energy
• Ability to change or move matter
Phase Changes

• Freezing
• Vaporization
• Condensation
• Sublimation
Phase Changes are
Physical Changes
Melting
• The change
from solid to
liquid
Freezing

energy
Liquid to Gas
• Vaporization
 change from a
liquid to a gas
• Evaporation
 Vaporization at the
surface of a liquid
Boiling
• Process by
which particles
inside the
liquid travel
into the air.
Condensation
• The change of
a substance
from a gas or
vapor to a
liquid
Sublimation
• To change phase (from a solid
or gas) without becoming a
liquid
Vaporization
• To be converted from a liquid
into vapor/gas
Evaporation
• Vaporization that occurs at the
surface of a liquid

General Properties of
Matter include
• Mass
• Weight
• Volume
• and density
Density
• Density is the mass per unit
volume
Density
• density = mass / volume
 Or DMV
• Units
 Mass – g
 Volume – cm3
 Density – g/ cm3
Problem
• If 96.5 grams of gold has a
volume of 5 cubic centimeters,
what is its density?
Solution
• Step 1 Write the formula d=m/v
• Step 2 Substitute given numbers
and units d = 96.5 g/ 5 cm3
• Step 3 Solve for unknown variable
d= 19.3 g / cm3
Practice Problems
• 1. If 96.5 grams of aluminum
3
cm ,

is the density of aluminum?
• 2. If the density of a diamond
is 3.5 g / cm3, what would the
mass be if the volume is 0.5
cm3?
Solution
• Step 1 d=m/v
.
• Step 2 rearrange d v= m
• Step 3 Substitute given numbers

variable m= 1.75 g
Buoyancy
• The force with which a more
dense fluid pushes a less
dense substance upward.
Archimedes’ Principle
• The buoyant force on an object is
equal to the weight of the fluid
displaced by the object.
• Therefore if an object increases
it’s density it will sink, and if
decreases it’s density it will float.
Density Lab
Does it Float?
Does it Float?
• The density of water is 1 gram
per milliliter, 1g/mL.
• If the object’s density is
greater than 1g/mL, then the
object will sink.
• If the object’s density is less
than 1g/mL then it will float.
Does it Float?
• In this activity you will measure
the mass and volume of several
objects to obtain their densities.
• density = mass / volume
• Volume of cube=length x width x
height
• Volume of cylinder=p r2 h
Remember
1 cubic centimeter
= 1 mL
Volume of Cylinder
• Volume = p r2 h
Volume of a Cube
• Volume= L x W x H

Gas – Pressure, Temperature
and Volume
• Boyle’s Law – if volume is reduced,
pressure will increase. P1V1 = P2V2
or P1/P2 = V2/V1
• Charles’s Law – if temperature of a
gas changes but pressure is the
same, then volume of the gas
changes. T1V2=T2V1 or T1/T2=V1/V2
