The Properties of Matter

Matter Anything that has mass and takes up space!

Mass n. A measure of how much matter is in an object.

Volume n n Briefly, volume is the amount of space something takes up. Whether it’s a speck of dust or Jupiter, all matter takes up space.

Measuring the volume of… Liquids: Graduated cylinder n Displacement method n Measured in liters (L) & milliliters (m. L) n Solids: n Length x width x height Gases: n Since a gas expands to fill its container, if you know the volume of the container, you know the volume of the gas.

5. Displacement Method for Volume

Density

More Physical Properties Density is a very important property. n It is the amount of matter in a given volume. n Density = Mass / Volume

Physical properties of matter are categorized as either: Intensive or Extensive: n n Intensive - Properties that do not depend on the amount of the matter present. Extensive - Properties that do depend on the amount of matter present.

n. Intensive - Properties that do not depend on the amount of the matter present. n. Odor n. Hardness n. Luster n. Melting/Freezing Point n. Malleability n. Ductility n Conductivity n. Boiling Point n. Solubility

Extensive - Properties that do depend on the amount of matter present.

Density Lab Over the next two days we will determine if density is an extensive or intensive quality
