Properties of Matter

What is matter?

Anything made of particles. It has mass and


volume (takes up space). Matter can be in
the form of a solid, liquid, or gas.
Physical Property- A trait of matter that
can be observed or measured without
changing the chemical composition of
the matter.

No chemical reactions allowed!


1. Color – how the object
absorbs and reflects light
2. Texture – how the substance
looks and feels.
3. Temperature
A measure of
the average
kinetic energy
(energy of
motion) of
particles in a
substance.
4. Mass

The amount
of matter in
an object (in
g or kg).
5. Volume

The amount
of space an
object
occupies (in
3
mL, L, cm ,
3
m , etc.)
6. Density – the ratio of mass to volume;
reflects the degree of packing of particles
in matter.

D = m/v
Lowest density element:

Hydrogen
3
0.0009 g/cm
Highest density element:

Osmium
3
23 g/cm
7. Luster
The way that
a substance
reflects light
(metallic,
non-metallic,
glassy,
pearly, dull).
8. Ductility

Ability of a
substance to
be stretched
into a wire.
9. Malleability

Ability of a
substance to
be hammered
flat and to
retain the new
shape.
10. State (phase) of matter

What is the 4th state of


matter (rare on Earth)?
11) Melting Point/Freezing Point
-
The exact temperature at
which a solid becomes a liquid
or a liquid becomes a solid.

For H2O, what temperature is


this?

12) Boiling Point/ Condensation


Point -
The exact temperature at
which a liquid becomes a gas or
a gas becomes a liquid.

EVERY PURE SUBSTANCE HAS AN


For H2O, what temperature is EXACT MELTING/FREEZING POINT
this? AND AN EXACT
BOILING/CONDENSATION POINT!
Extensive
-Properties that do depend on the
amount of matter present.

Mass, weight, volume, length


Intensive
◦Properties that do not depend
on the amount of the matter
present.

◦Color , odor, hardness,


melting/freezing point, boiling
point, density, malleability,
luster
Chemical Property- A trait of matter that
can only be observed if a substance has the
property. In the process of testing the
chemical property, the substance changes
composition if it has that property.

i.e. Does the substance chemically “react


with” something else?
1) Reactivity with oxygen : rusting (iron),
tarnishing (silver, copper, brass, etc)
2) Reactivity with water:
3) Reactivity with acids or bases:
4) Combustibility or Flammability:
5) Chemical formula (chemical composition):
What something is made of is always a chemical property.

Ex: rust is Fe2O3


water is H2O
diamond is C
All chemical properties are
intensive. None are extensive.
Why?
Because chemical properties never depend on how much of a
substance is present, but only on what kind of particles make up the
substance.
Physical Changes in Matter
Examples: Changes in
1.Shape
2.Texture
3.Size
4.Dissolves
5.Breaks Apart
Physical Changes in Matter
EXAMPLES:
Aluminum foil is cut in half
Clay is molded into a new shape
Butter melts on warm toast
Water evaporates from the surface of the ocean
Juice freezes
Rubbing alcohol evaporates on your hand
Chemical Changes in Matter
A chemical change in matter is when
matter becomes something completely
new. New matter is formed.
Chemical Changes in Matter
Chemical change:

The substances present at


the beginning of the
change are not present at
the end; new substances
are formed. The change
cannot be “undone."
Chemical Changes in Matter
CHEMICAL CHANGES
THE MATTER IS DIFFERENT. THE PARTICALES OF THE
SUBSTANCES ARE BROKEN
APART
THE OLD MATTER IS NO ATOMS ARE REARRANGED
LONGER PRESNT INTO NEW PARTICLES

THE ORIGINAL MATTER A NEW SUBSTANCE IS


CANNOT BE REMOVED FROM FORMED
THE NEW MATTER
Chemical Changes in Matter
EXAMPLES:
Milk goes sour
Jewelry becomes tarnished
Bread becomes toast
Rust forms on a nail
Gasoline is ignited
Hydrogen peroxide bubbles in a cut
A match is lit
Your body digests food
Fruit decomposes and rots
