Matter in Our Surroundings
Syllabus
Definition of matter; solid, liquid and gas; characteristics - shape, volume, density;
change of state- melting (absorption of heat), freezing, evaporation (cooling by evaporation),
condensation, sublimation.
BASIC CONCEPTS
1. Everything in this universe is made up of material which is called matter. Matter is
anything which occupies mass and space.
2. Each matter is a collection of lots of tiny particles.
3. Particles of matter are continuously moving.
4. A matter may exist in three forms or states namely solid, liquid or a gas.
5. A solid is a state in which matter is characterised by having definite shape, distinct
boundaries, rigidity, incompressibility and fixed volume.
6. The liquid state shows fluidity, low compressibility and no definite boundary or shape
but fixed volume.
7. The gaseous state is characterized by having fluidity, high compressibility, no
definite boundary, volume or shape.
8. Particles of matter are closely packed in solids, loosely packed in liquids and are far
apart in gases.
9. Particles of matter attract each other. The force of attraction between particles is
called intermolecular force of attraction.
10. The intermolecular force of attraction is affected by temperature and pressure. Thus
the state of matter can be changed by changing temperature and pressure.
11. Melting point is the temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid at atmospheric
pressure.
12. Latent heat of fusion is the amount of heat consumed when 1 kg of a solid changes
into liquid at a constant temperature.
13. Boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid changes into its vapour at atmospheric
pressure.
14. Latent heat of vaporisation is the amount of heat consumed when 1 kg of liquid
changes into vapour at constant temperature.
15. Sublimation is the change of state direct from solid to gaseous state whereas the
change of gaseous state directly to solid state without going to the liquid state is called
deposition.

16. Evaporation is a surface phenomenon in which a liquid changes into vapours/gas

below its boiling point.
17. Evaporation results in lowering of temperature, i.e., cooling is caused when evaporation
takes place.
QUESTIONS–ANSWERS
1.1. PHYSICAL NATURE OF MATTER

Q. 1. What is matter?
Ans. A substance occurring in nature or coming in use in day to day life is called
matter. Examples are naturally occurring minerals, plants to paper, chalk, coke, food etc. A
matter may be available in varieties of shape, size, colour and odour. Matter is thus anything
that has mass and occupies space.
Q. 2. Sodium salt and sugar have similar appearance. Why are these classified as
different substances?
Ans. The substances are not classified only by their appearance. These are classified by
their properties such as density, boiling point or melting point, conductivity, thermal capacity
and other chemical properties. Sugar and sodium chloride have different physical and chemical
properties and so are different substances.
Q. 3. In what ways all substances around us are alike?
Ans. All substances have mass and occupy space and are called matter.
Q. 4. In what ways air can be considered as matter?
Ans. Air is a matter because it has mass and occupies space.
Q. 5. Which of the following is termed as matter?
(i) air, (ii) sky, (iii) fire, (iv) security, (v) work.
Ans. (i) Air
ACTIVITY 1.1
nTake a 100 mL beaker.
nFill half the beaker with water and mark the level of water.
n Dissolve some salt/sugar with the help of a glass rod.
n Observe any change in water level.
n What do you think has happened to the salt?
Salt dissolves in water.
n Where does it disappear?
The salt particles get into spaces between water particles.
n Does the level of water change?
There is no change in water level.

n Take 23 crystals of potassium permanganate and dissolve them in 100 mL of
water.
n Take out approximately 10 mL of this solution and put it into 90 mL of clear water.
n Take out 10 mL of this solution and put it into another 90 mL of clear water.
n Keep diluting the solution like this 5 to 8 times.

Fig. 1.2. Estimating how small are the particles of matter: With every dilution,
though the colour becomes light, it is still visible.
n Is the water still coloured?

The water remains coloured till the last dilution.
Conclusion: The particles of matter are very very small.
Similar Question*
l Explain with the help of an activity which shows that particles of matter are very
small. (CBSE 2012)
1.2. CHARACTERISTICS OF PARTICLES OF MATTER

Q. 1. How will you show that particles of matter have space between them?
Ans. Take a beaker half filled with water. Mark the level of water. Now add some
matter like sugar, salt or dettol in it. It will be observed that the added matter disappears
and there is hardly any change in level of water. This is because particles of one matter, i.e.,
salt, sugar or dettol get into the spaces between the particles of the other matter, i.e., water.
Thus we can say that there is enough space between particles of matter.
* This indicates that questions already given in our book are sometimes asked in School Exams with differently
framed language.
Q. 2. What do you mean by diffusion? Explain giving an example.

Ans. Particles of matter are always in a state of motion. They move to interact with
other particles and distribute themselves equally in all available space. This intermixing of
particles of two substances on their own is called diffusion. Particles of a gas diffuse faster
than particles of a liquid.
Example: Light an agarbatti in one corner of the room, and stand in the other corner.
Very soon, you will feel smell of agarbatti. The particles of perfume in the agarbatti stick mix
with particles of air and spread out eventually and reach to us even at a distance. This is
due to diffusion of agarbatti particles into particles of air.
Q. 3. What happens when a crystal of potassium permanganate is dropped in
a glass tumbler containing water? What conclusion can you draw?
Ans. When a crystal of potassium permanganate is dropped in a glass tumbler containing
water, then the colour of potassium permanganate spreads throughout the water in the
glass. This shows that the particles of matter are continuously moving.
ACTIVITY 1.3
nPut an unlit incense stick in a corner of your class. How close do you have to go
near it so as to get its smell?
We have to go quite close to the incense stick to get its smell.
nNow light the incense stick. What happens? Do you get the smell sitting at a
distance?
Now the smell of incense can be felt even sitting at a distance.
n Record your observations.
The particles of incense move faster at higher temperatures.
ACTIVITY 1.4
nTake two glasses/beakers filled with water.
n Put a drop of blue or red ink slowly and carefully along the sides of the first beaker
and honey in the same way in the second beaker.
n Leave them undisturbed in your house or in a corner of the class.
n Record your observations.
n What do you observe immediately after adding the ink drop?
The colour of ink starts spreading soon.
n What do you observe immediately after adding a drop of honey?
The honey drops slowly disappear.
n How many hours or days does it take for the colour of ink to spread evenly throughout
the water?
The colour of ink spreads evenly throughout the water within a few minutes.
ACTIVITY 1.5
n Drop a crystal of copper sulphate or potassium permanganate into a glass of hot
water and another containing cold water. Do not stir the solution. Allow the crystals
to settle at the bottom.
n What do you observe just above the solid crystal in the glass?
Solid crystals of potassium permanganate start diffusing.
n What happens as time passes?
As time passes particles of solid diffuse throughout water.
n What does this suggest about the particles of solid and liquid?
Particles of solid and liquid mix into each other.
n Does the rate of mixing change with temperature? Why and how?
The mixing increases with temperature. This is because the kinetic energy of
particles increases with temperature.
Try Yourself
l Archit dropped a crystal of potassium permanganate into two beakers A and B containing hot
water and cold water respectively. After keeping the beakers undisturbed for sometime, what
did he observe and why? (CBSE 2012)
Q. 4. Name the phenomenon in which particles of two or more substances

intermix on their own. (CBSE 2017)
Ans. Diffusion.
Q. 5. Why is the rate of diffusion faster in gases? (CBSE 2011)
Ans. The intermolecular force of attraction is minimum in gases.
Q. 6. If you open a bottle of perfume in one corner of a room, it immediately spreads
throughout the room. State and explain the property involved.
Ans. The property involved is diffusion. In a gas the particles are free to move in a
chaotic motion at a great speed throughout its containing vessel. Thus when you open a
bottle of perfume in one corner, the particles of the perfume move at random motion in all
directions and mix with other gas particles in the air, thus reaching instantaneously to
our nose.
Similar Questions*
l We can get the smell of perfume sitting several meters away. Explain. (CBSE 2017)
Give reason: Gases undergo diffusion very fast. (CBSE 2015)
Why the rate of diffusion of fluids is higher than that of solids? (CBSE 2016)
Q. 7. Which property of gases help us in detecting the leakage of LPG gas?

Ans. Diffusion.
Q. 8. Give an example of (i) a liquid diffusing into a solid, (ii) solid diffusing into
a liquid and (iii) Solid diffusing into a solid.
Ans. (i) Liquid diffusing into solid. If we put a drop of ink on the centre of a clean
blotting paper, we find the liquid spreads out by diffusing into the blotting paper which is a
solid.
(ii) Solid diffusing into liquid. When we put a crystal of potassium permanganate in
water, slowly the colour of potassium permanganate spreads throughout water.
(iii) Diffusion of a solid into a solid. Diffusion of solids into solids is very very slow.
So diffusion of a solid into other solids is rare and very small. When we write on a black-
board with a chalk, we can easily clean it. But if it is left uncleaned for a few days, it becomes
difficult to clean the blackboard. This is because there is a slight diffusion of chalk particles
i.e., solid into the solid blackboard.
ACTIVITY 1.6
n Play this game in the field make four groups and form human chains as suggested.
n The first group should hold each other from the back and lock arms like Idu-
Mishmi dancers (Fig. 1.3).
Fig. 1.3
nThe second group should hold hands to form a human chain.
n The third group should form a chain by touching each other with only their finger
tips.
n Now, the fourth group of students should run around and try to break the three
human chains one by one into as many small groups as possible.
n Which group was the easiest to break? Why?
The third group should be easiest to break as students are holding each other very
weakly.
n If we consider each student as a particle of matter, then in which group the particles
held each other with the maximum force?
The first group.
ACTIVITY 1.7
nTake an iron nail, a piece of chalk and a rubber band.
nTry breaking them by hammering, cutting or stretching.
n In which of the above three substances do you think the particles are held together
with greater force?
The particles in iron nail are held together with greater force as these are not
separated by hammering.
ACTIVITY 1.8
n Take some water in a container, try cutting the surface of water with your fingers.
n Were you able to cut the surface of water?
The surface of water is not cut.
n What could be the reason behind the surface of water remaining together?
The surface of water remains together because there is attractive force between
particles of water.
Q. 9. List three characteristics of particles of matter. Describe one example for

each characteristic to illustrate it. Name the characteristics which are responsible
for (a) spreading of smell of scent in a room and (b) water taking shape of the vessel in which
poured. (CBSE 2011, KV 2016)
Ans. Characteristics of matter
(i) Particles of matter have space between them. Example: When a small amount of
sugar is added to water, it mixes without increase in volume.
(ii) Particles of matter are moving. Example: When a crystal of copper sulphate is
added to water, blue colour of copper sulphate diffuses throughout the whole
volume of water.
(iii) Particles of matter attract each other. Example: If you put your finger across
running water from a tap, it breaks but when finger is removed, the stream of
water regains.
(a) Diffusion
(b) Non-rigidity of liquid water.
Try Yourself
l List any three characteristics of particulate nature of matter. (CBSE 2015)
Q. 10. How does the rate of diffusion change with (i) density of liquid and
(ii) temperature? Give examples.
Ans. (i) Rate of diffusion decreases with density of a liquid. Honey is denser than ink.
If you add a drop of ink and honey in two separate jars filled with water, it will be observed
that honey takes longer time to reach the bottom of the jar as compared to that taken by ink.
(ii) Diffusion increases with rise of temperature. For example, liquids mix faster at
higher temperatures.
Q. 11. Why are light and sound not considered as matter?
Ans. Light and sound are not considered as matter because they have no mass and do
not occupy space.
NCERT INTEXT QUESTIONS (Page 3)
1. Which of the following are matters?

Chair, air, love, smell, hate, almonds, thought, cold, lemon water, smell of perfume.
Ans. Matter are: Chair, air, almonds, lemon water, smell of perfume.
2. Give reasons for the following observation:

The smell of hot sizzling food reaches you several metres away, but to get the smell
from cold food you have to go close. (KV 2017)
Or
We get smell of pizza easily as compared to that of ice cream. (CBSE 2015)
Ans. The smell of hot sizzling food reaches us several metres away because food
particles diffuse faster in air when hot and we smell it in no time whereas cold food
particles would take a long time to diffuse and we have to go close to have a smell of it.
3. A diver is able to cut through water in a swimming pool. Which property of matter
does this observation show? (Activity 1.8)
Ans. Particles of water attract each other but the attraction is not strong enough to
prevent the diver to cut through water.
4. What are the characteristics of the particles of matter? (CBSE 2014, 2015)
Ans. Characteristics of particles of matter are:
(i) Particles of matter have space between them.
(ii) Particles of matter are continuously moving and thus possess kinetic energy.
(iii) Particles of matter can diffuse into one another.
(iv) Particles of matter attract each other. The force of attraction varies from
one kind of matter to another.
(v) Particles of matter have mass.
1.3. STATES OF MATTER

Q. 1. Name the three states of matter. Give examples of each state.
Ans. Matter exists in three different states:
(i) Solid. A solid has a definite shape and a definite volume, e.g., copper, iron, ice.
(ii) Liquid. A liquid has a definite volume but its shape is not definite, it will depend
on the shape of the container in which it is contained, e.g., 5 ml each of water, petrol, alcohol
kept in different types of containers will have different shapes but the volume of each of
these liquids remains the same, i.e., 5 ml.
(iii) Gas. A gas has neither a definite shape nor a definite volume, e.g., hydrogen, air,
nitrogen taken in different containers have the shape and volume of the containing vessel.
Q. 2. Give one similarity and one dissimilarity between a liquid and a gas.
Ans. Similarity. Both liquids and gases are fluids and assume the shape of the container.
Dissimilarity. A gas can be compressed easily whereas a liquid cannot. A small quantity
of a gas can fill an entire given container. Also large quantity of a gas can be contained in
a small space. A given amount of the liquid has a fixed volume at a given temperature.
Q. 3. How do you differentiate between solids, liquids and gases on the basis of
their melting points and boiling points?
Ans. Solids have melting and boiling points above room temperature.
Liquids have melting points below room temperature and boiling point above room
temperature.
Gases have both melting and boiling points below room temperature.
Q. 4. What property of the gas is utilized when natural gas is supplied for
vehicles? (CBSE 2011)
Or
Under what conditions gases can be liquefied? In which form LPG is filled in
a gas cylinder? (CBSE 2015)
Ans. A gas is highly compressible and a large quantity of it can be compressed to a

small manageable volume. Therefore, natural gas is compressed and is supplied for use by
vehicles in the name of CNG (compressed natural gas).
ACTIVITY 1.9
n Collect the following articlesa pen, a book, a needle and a piece of wooden stick.
n Sketch the shape of the above articles in your notebook by moving a pencil around
them.
n Do all these have a definite shape, distinct boundaries and a fixed volume?
All the articles mentioned have a definite shape with distinct boundaries and fixed
volume.
n What happens if they are hammered, pulled or dropped?
The shape and volume changes on hammering etc.
n Are these capable of diffusing into each other?
They do not diffuse into each other.
n Try compressing them by applying force. Are you able to compress them?
It is difficult to compress these articles.
Q. 5. Explain the interconversion of three states of matter in terms of force of

attraction and kinetic energy of the molecules. (CBSE 2014)
Ans. The force operating between the particles of a matter is called intermolecular
force. In solids, intermolecular forces are strong and this keeps the constituent particles
quite close to each other and thus make the substance rigid (high density) and incompressible.
This also results in highly ordered arrangement of the particles (called lattice) giving regular
geometric shapes to solids. Kinetic energy of the molecules is almost nil.

Fig. 1.4. Gases, liquids and solids (a) Bulk appearance of the three states of matter
(b) The molecular picture
In liquids, intermolecular forces are comparatively weak to give a definite shape but
strong enough to keep the liquid in a bulk. Small kinetic energy of the molecules is not
enough to overcome the force of attraction.
In gases, intermolecular forces are quite weak and almost negligible so that the constituent
particles are free to move and occupy the available space. Here molecules have high kinetic
energy and force of attraction is negligible.
Q. 6. How is pressure developed in a container full of a gas?
Or
Give reason for the following:
Gases exert pressure on the walls of the container. (CBSE 2015, KV 2017)
Ans. In the container, the gaseous particles are free to move. These move at high speed
and collide with other particles or walls of the container. The bombardment of the particles
on the walls of the container produces a steady force that depends on the temperature. This
force per unit area is called as pressure of the gas.
ACTIVITY 1.10
n Collect the following:

(a) water, cooking oil, milk, juice, a cold drink.
(b) containers of different shapes. Put a 50 mL mark on these containers using a
measuring cylinder from the laboratory.
n What will happen if these liquids are spilt on the floor?
