Matter All of the substances in Gods creation

Matter – All of the substances in God’s creation. Material things are made of matter. Touch, Taste, Feel, See, or Smell Matter.

Immaterial – Does not consist of matter. Soul, Spirit, Mind

3 States of Matter 1. Solid 2. Liquid 3. Gas

Solid – Only state of matter with a definite shape and volume. Difficult to compress Particles close together vibrate in fixed position.

Liquid – Has a definite volume, but no definite shape. Takes the shape of its container. Difficult to compress. Particles close together, but move freely.

Gas– No definite volume or shape. Will fill any container into which it is placed. Easy to compress. Particles far apart.

Physical Properties – Those properties of a substance that can be determined without changing it into a different substance.

Temperature, odor, color, hardness, density, ability to be dissolved, and electrical conductivity are examples of physical properties.

Temperature – an objective numerical way to measure hotness or coldness.

Quantification – the systematic process of accurately measuring the things of nature and their parts.

Freezing Point – The temperature at which a liquid changes into a solid.

Boiling Point – The temperature at which a liquid changes into a gas.

Celsius = (Fahrenheit – 32) X 5/9 Fahrenheit = Celsius X 9/5 +32 110 Degrees Fahrenheit = 43. 3 Degrees Celsius = 37. 4 Degrees Fahrenheit

Solubility - The ability to be dissolved.

Mass – A measure of the quantity, or amount, of matter an object contains.

Weight – The measure of the gravitational force on an object. Weight depends on mass. The more mass an object has, the more it will weigh. Less gravity will mean less weight. However, mass always stays the same no matter what gravity is.

Density – Mass of a substance divided by its volume. Every substance has its own particular density. Density is usually measured in g/cm 3 Since 1 ml = cm 3 density is also measured in g/ml

Density usually increases as a substance goes from a gas to a liquid, and from a liquid to a solid.

Water is unique though, and as it goes to a solid density decreases. This is why ice floats in water. This is an example of God’s magnificent creation. Without this, all aquatic life would die and we would all possibly die.
