Physical Science Ch. 17
Section 1 Composition of Matter
Composition of Matter • Substance • An element or a compound • Elements • Substance with all the same atoms • Compounds • Substance with atoms from two or more elements
Mixtures • Heterogeneous Mixture • Where materials can easily be distinguished • Homogeneous Mixture • Contains 2 or more substances blended evenly throughout
Solution • Homogeneous mixture where particles are so small they cant be seen with a microscope or filtered. • Colloid • Homogeneous mixture that never settles • Tyndall Effect • Scattering of light by a colloid • Suspension • Heterogeneous mixture containing a liquid where the particles settle out.
Section 2 Properties of Matter
Physical Properties • Characteristics of a material which can be observed without changing the material • Ex. include color, shape, size, melting point, & boiling point • Physical properties such as size and magnetism can be used to separate mixtures.
Physical Properties • Appearance • physical description of a substance • Behavior • how a substance acts • Ex. magnetism, viscosity, ductility
Physical change • Change in substance’s size, shape, or state of matter • A Substance does not change identity when it undergoes a physical change • Distillation • a process for separating a mixture by evaporating a liquid & condensing its vapor.
Chemical property • Characteristics of a substance indicating that it can change chemically; • Ex. Flammability or light sensitivity of a substance
Chemical Change • When one substance changes to another substance • Can be indicated by temperature change, bubble formation, or smell • Can occur very slowly such as the formation of rust. • Can be used to separate substances such as metals from their ores.
Weathering of Earth’s surface involves both physical and chemical changes. • Physical changes • big rocks split into smaller ones; streams carry rock particles from one location to another • Chemical changes • can occur in rocks when calcium carbonate in limestone changes to calcium hydrogen carbonate due to acid rain.
Law of Conservation of Mass • Mass of all substances present before a chemical change equals the mass of all substances after the change. • Mass can neither be created or destroyed it just changes forms
