Define Atoms- Extremely small building blocks of matter Ø All matter is composed of atoms Ø Atoms cannot be broken down into smaller pieces by chemical means Ø The smallest distinct units in a sample of matter Elements are made up the same atoms. Ø Elements cannot be decomposed into other substances.

Classifying Matter by Physical State • Matter can be classified as solid, liquid, or gas based on the characteristics it exhibits. • fixed = keeps shape when placed in a container • indefinite = takes the shape of the container 4

Solids • The particles in a solid are packed close together and are fixed

Solids • The particles in a solid are packed close together and are fixed in position. – though they may vibrate • The close packing of the particles results in solids being incompressible. • The inability of the particles to move around results in solids retaining their shape and volume when placed in a new container, and prevents the solid from flowing. 5

Crystalline Solids • Some solids have their particles arranged in an orderly geometric pattern─we

Crystalline Solids • Some solids have their particles arranged in an orderly geometric pattern─we call these crystalline solids. – salt – diamonds – sugar 6

Amorphous Solids • Some solids have their particles randomly distributed without any long-range pattern─we call these amorphous solids. – plastic – glass – charcoal 7

Liquids • The particles in a liquid are closely packed, but they have some

Liquids • The particles in a liquid are closely packed, but they have some ability to move around. • The close packing results in liquids being incompressible. • The ability of the particles to move allows liquids to take the shape of their container and to flow; however, they don’t have enough freedom to escape and expand to fill the container. 8

Gases • In the gas state, the particles have complete freedom from each other.

Gases • In the gas state, the particles have complete freedom from each other. • The particles are constantly flying around, bumping into each other and the container. • In the gas state, there is a lot of empty space between the particles. – on average 9

Gases • Because there is a lot of empty space, the particles can be

Gases • Because there is a lot of empty space, the particles can be squeezed closer together; therefore, gases are compressible. • Because the particles are not held in close contact and are moving freely, gases expand to fill and take the shape of their container, and will flow. 10

Classification of Matter by Composition • Matter whose composition does not change from one

Classification of Matter by Composition • Matter whose composition does not change from one sample to another is called a pure substance. – made of a single type of atom or molecule – Because the composition of a pure substance is always the same, all samples have the same characteristics. • Matter whose composition may vary from one sample to another is called a mixture. – two or more types of atoms or molecules combined in variable proportions – Because composition varies, different samples have different characteristics. 27

Classification of Pure Substances Compounds • Substances that can be decomposed are called compounds. – chemical combinations of elements – composed of molecules that contain two or more different kinds of atoms – All molecules of a compound are identical, so all samples of a compound behave the same way. • Most natural pure substances are compounds. 30
