Chemistry Study of Matter Matter- anything that has mass and volume
Examples of matterany substance that has mass and volume • Book • Cells • Desk • Pen • You • air
- Elements and Atoms The Building Blocks of Matter • Matter may consist of elements, compounds, or mixtures.
All matter can be described as having physical and chemical properties p.537 • Properties are qualities or characteristics • Physical properties are things that can be observed just by using the five senses • Chemical properties describe how the substance will react (combine) with other substances to form a new product
Physical Properties • Can be observed with five senses • Color • Taste • Odor • Texture
Other unique physical properties • Density (mass/volume) • Physical state: solid, liquid, gas • Boiling point (temperature at which the substance goes from a liquid to a gas) water’s boiling point is 100 • Melting point (temperature at which the substance goes from a solid to a liquid) water’s melting point is 0 (below zero, water is solid/ice, above zero, water is liquid) • Solubility (how well the substance dissolves in water
Examples of physical changes • Change in size of substance • Glass is broken • Paper is torn • Water boiling
Chemical Properties p.537 • Chemical properties describe how one substance reacts (changes) into another substance. • Examples of chemical changes • Burning wood • Rusting iron • Milk souring • Note: Chemical changes are usually permament
Physical or chemical change? • Ripped paper? • Physical • Sharpening a pencil? • Physical • Dynamite exploding? • Chemical • Digesting food? • Chemical
Physical or Chemical Change? • Wood burning? • Chemical Cutting iron? Physical
In conclusion • All matter have both physical and chemical properties. These properties make the substance unique (different) from all other substances. • The physical properties of a substance are those that can be observed using the five senses. • The chemical property of a substance describes its ability to change into another substance.
