What Is Matter?• Matter is anything that has
volume and mass
• Volume is the amount of space taken up, or occupied, by an object
• Mass is the amount of matter that something is made of
You can’t REALLY see the particles. These drawings show what they might look like.
A solid is matter that has a definite shape, has mass and usually takes up a definite amount of space. Its particles are closely packed together. The particles have some energy. They move back and forth, but they do not change places with each other.
Volume of Solids• The volume of any solid
object is expressed in cubic units
• Cubic means “having three dimensions”
• Measure solids using the formula Length x Width x Height or
l l xx w w xx h h
Liquids takes the shape of any container into which you pour it. If you pour a liquid in a container onto a table, its shape changes, but the amount of liquid stays the same. Matter that does not have a definite shape and has mass, but takes up a definite amount of space, is a liquid.
Like a liquid, a gas takes the shape of its container. Unlike a liquid, a gas expands to fill whatever space is available. A gas always fills the container it is in. The particles in a gas are very far apart from one another and move in all directions.
Volume of Gases
• The volume of any gas must be measured in a closed container
Phases of MatterSolids / Liquids / Gases
FreezingFreezing
• FreezingFreezing: The change of state from: The change of state from liquid to a solid liquid to a solid
As liquids cool their particles As liquids cool their particles begin to slow, bringing them begin to slow, bringing them closer together forming closer together forming crystalscrystals

BoilingBoiling
• BoilingBoiling: process that occurs when vaporization : process that occurs when vaporization takes place inside a liquid as well as on the takes place inside a liquid as well as on the surfacesurface
Dependant on how Dependant on how strongly the particles strongly the particles in an object are held in an object are held togethertogether

EvaporationEvaporation
• EvaporationEvaporation: : occurs when a occurs when a liquid acquires liquid acquires enough energy to enough energy to become a gas only become a gas only on the surface of on the surface of the liquidthe liquid
CondensationCondensation
• CondensationCondensation: Occurs when a gas loses enough : Occurs when a gas loses enough thermal energy to become a liquidthermal energy to become a liquid
Particles in a gas lose Particles in a gas lose energy and begin to energy and begin to move slower, coming move slower, coming closer togethercloser together

***Water is an exception...it actually expands as it ***Water is an exception...it actually expands as it cools – Rubber does the samecools – Rubber does the same
Mass• Mass is the amount of matter
that something is made of• Weight is different from mass –
weight is the measure of the gravitational force exerted on an object and therefore can change if the gravitational force changes
• Mass only changes if the amount of matter in the object changes
Describing Matter
• Matter is described by its properties – either physical properties or chemical properties
Physical Properties of Matter• A physical property of matter can be
observed or measured without changing the identity of the matter
• Color, size, shape, odor, mass, and volume are a few physical properties of matter - other examples include thermal conductivity, state, malleability, ductility, solubility, and density
Physical Properties of MatterPhysical Property Definition Example
Thermal Conductivity
The ability to transfer thermal energy from one are to another
Plastic foam is a poor conductor, so hot chocolate in a plastic foam cup will not burn your hand
State The physical form in which a substance exists (solid, liquid, gas)
Ice is H20 in its solid state, water in its liquid state, etc.
Malleability The ability to be pounded into thin sheets
Aluminum can be rolled or pounded into sheets to make foil
Physical Properties of MatterPhysical Property Definition Example
Ductility The ability to be drawn or pulled into a wire
Copper is often used to make wiring because of its malleability
Solubility The ability to dissolve in another substance
Sugar dissolves in water
Density
D = m/vD = m/v
Mass per unit volume Lead is used to make sinkers for fishing line because lead is more dense than water
Chemical Properties of Matter• Chemical properties
describe a substance based on its ability to change into a new substance with different properties
• Examples of chemical properties are flammability and reactivity with other substances
Comparing Chemical & Physical PropertiesSubstance Physical Property Chemical Property
Helium Less dense that air Nonflammable
Wood Grainy texture Flammable
Baking Soda White powder Reacts with acetic acid to produce bubbles
Powdered Sugar White powder Doe not react with acetic acid
Rubbing Alcohol Clear liquid Flammable
Red Food Coloring
Red color Reacts with bleach and loses color
Iron Malleable Reacts with oxygen
Physical and Chemical Changes
• A physical change is a change that affects one or more physical properties of a substance
• A chemical change occurs when one or more substances are changed into entirely new substances with different properties
Physical Changes• Because physical changes do not change the
identity of substance, they are often easy to undo
• Examples of physical changes include– Freezing water for ice cubes– Sanding a piece of wood– Cutting your hair – Crushing an aluminum can– Bending a paper clip – Mixing oil and vinegar– Melting a stick of butter
Chemical Changes• Clues to chemical changes include
– Changes in color– Fizzing – Foaming – Heating up– Production of sound, light, or odor
• Examples of Chemical Changes include
– Milk that has soured– Antacid tablets bubble when the citric acid and baking
soda in them react with water– A rusting car
