MATTER:
“Anything having mass and occupies space is called matter.”
STATES OF MATTER:
There are three common states of matter:
i. Solid state. ii.
Liquid state.
iii. Gaseous state.
i. SOLID STATE:
CHARACTERISTICS OF SOLIDS:
a. Solids have a definite shape and volume.
b. Molecules of solids are very close to each other and have no
intermolecular spaces.
c. The intermolecular force of attraction between the molecules of solid is
very large.
d. Solids are incompressible.
e. Solid can’t diffuse in other solid in same state.
f. Molecules of a solid vibrate at their position.
g. Solid exert pressure on their bottom.
38
a. Gases neither have definite shape nor definite volume.
b. The molecules of gases are far away from each other.
c. Cohesive forces between molecules of gases are negligible.
d. Their molecules possess high kinetic energy due to rapid movement.
e. Gases are compressible.
f. Molecules of gases can diffuse in each other.
MELTING:
“The phenomenon of conversion of solid into liquid is called melting.”
When a solid is heated, the kinetic energy of the particles increases and
the solid become hot. On continuous heating the heat energy overcomes the
intermolecular forces holding the solid particles in fixed positions and it starts
converting into liquid. This is called melting or fusion.
MELTING POINT:
“The temperature at which a solid starts converting into liquid is called melting
point.”
BOLING POINT:
“The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid become equal to
the atmospheric pressure and it starts converting into gas is called Boiling
EVAPORATION:
“The phenomenon of conversion of liquid into gas without boiling at all
temperature is called Evaporation.”
SUBLIMATION:
“The phenomenon of conversion of solid directly into gas through a liquid
state are called sublime solids.”
SUBLIME SOLIDS:
“The solids which directly convert into gas without passing through a liquid
state are called sublime solids. E.g. dry ice, camphor, naphthalene,
ammonium chloride.”
39
“The movement of one gas molecules into the intermolecular space of
other gas is called Diffusion.”
Mathematical Form:
If r = rate of diffusion.
d = density of gas. Then r
∝ 1/√
Or r = K (1/√d)
BROWNIAN’S MOTION:
“The continuous rapid zigzag motion of the suspended particle through a
medium is called Brownian motion.”
Explanation:
This phenomenon of molecular motion was first observed by Robert Brown
in 1827 when he was examining a pollen grain suspended in a drop of water
under microscope. He noticed that the pollen grain continually performing
haphazard zigzag movements. The irregular constant movement was later found
to be due to the collision of suspended particles (pollen grain) by the surrounding
molecules of the liquid medium.
Result:
It is observed that sulphur particles perform zigzag motion through the
medium and this motion is called Brownian motion.
Conclusion:
The Brownian movement of the suspended particles reflects the movement
of the water molecules.

Evaporation is the escape of molecules from the surface of
liquid.

SOLUTION AND SUSPENSION
SOLUTION:
“Homogenous mixture of two or more substance is called a Solution.”
Examples:
• Salt and water uniformly mixed to form a solution.
• Sugar and water uniformly mixed to form a solution.
• Zinc and copper are mixed by melting them together uniformly to form
solution called brass.
SOLUTE:
“The substance which is to be dissolved in other substance to form a
solution and present in lesser amount is called a solute.”
Example:
Sugar and salt are used as solute in their respective.
SOLVENT:
“The substance which dissolves other substance in it and present in
generally greater amount is called a solvent.”
Example:
Water is used as a solvent in the aqueous solutions of all the substances.
Saturated solution:
“The solution which contains maximum amount of solute and can’t hold
more solute in it at a particular temperature and pressure is called saturated
solution.”
Unsaturated solution:
“The solution which contains lesser amount of solute than its holding
capacity at particular temperature and pressure is called unsaturated solution.
