Properties of Matter

Matter Anything that has volume and mass

Matter Continued • Element – A pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by physical or chemical means • Compound – A pure substance composed of two or more elements that are chemically combined

Physical Properties A property of matter that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the matter.

Examples • • • Color Size Shape Weight Odor Phase

Examples • Boiling point. Water 212 degrees F, 100 C • Freezing point. Water 32 degrees F, 0 C

Density The amount of matter in a given space Density= mass/volume • Mass- The amount of matter that something is made of • Volume- The amount of space something occupies

Density Examples • Which layer has the highest density? • Which layer has the lowest density? Liquid Density (g/m. L) Rubbing Alcohol Lamp Oil Vegetable Oil Water 0. 79 0. 81 0. 92 1 Dawn Dish Soap 1. 06 Light Corn Syrup 1. 33 Honey 1. 42

Density Examples • • Rubbing alcohol Water Copper Mercury 0. 79 g/m. L 1. 0 g/m. L 8. 96 g/m. L 13. 55 g/m. L

Malleability • The ability of a substance to form thin sheets under pressure • Examples: – Gold – Silver – Iron – Aluminum – Copper – Tin

Oxidation The process to chemically combine with oxygen • Examples: ØIron + Oxygen= Iron Oxide (Rust) ØCopper + Carbon Dioxide + Water = Copper Carbonate (Green copper)

Oxidation Examples

Solubility The ability to dissolve in another substance Examples: – Sugar in water – Salt in water – Antacid tablets

Chemical Properties Describes a substance based on its ability to change into a new substance with different properties.

Examples • Flammable - non flammable • Reacts with water. Does not react with water • Will Oxidize. Will not oxidize

Chemical or Physical? • combustibility _____ • melting point _____ • density _____ • conductivity _____ • malleability _____ • odor _____ • tendency to corrode ___ • texture _____ • weight _____ • flammability _____ • volume _____

Mixtures • Mixture – A combination of two or more substances that are not chemically combined • Solution – A type of mixture that appears to be a single substance, but is composed of particles that are evenly distributed

Synthetic A man-made substance that usually imitates a naturally occurring substance
