  1. Properties and Changes of Matter

  2. The Nature of Matter Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass. You can observe matter easily with your senses . . . rocks, trees, bicycles, air . . . Basically everything and anything! What is matter? ExamplesofMatter: The only thing that wouldn’t be matter would be energy (sunlight, heat, electricity). - no mass or volume so they can’t be matter!

  3. Physical Properties Physicalproperty is a property that can be easily observed without changing the identity of the substance. Examples: • viscosity • conductivity • malleability • hardness • magnetism • melting point • boiling point • density • color

  4. Examples of Physical Properties A. Solubility of a substance is its ability to dissolve. Example: sugar in water B. Conductivity is a material’s ability to allow heat or electricity to flow. Examples: metal = high conductivity wood = poor conductivity

  5. Examples of Physical Properties C. Malleabilityof a substance is its ability to be hammered into a thin sheet D. Melting and Freezing pointsare the temperatures at which a solid becomes a liquid and a liquid becomes a solid. E. Density of a substance is a measure of how close together its particles are. Low density = float High density = sink

  6. Physical Change A change in the appearance, without changing the identity of the material. • Can be reversible, or irreversible • Substance may seem different, but the way the atoms link up is the same. It is a physical change if . . . • It changes shape or size • It dissolves. • Or the substance changes phase.

  7. Chemical Properties Examples of chemical properties . . . Chemicalproperty is any ability to produce a change in the identity of matter. reactivity flammability Corrosive: Eating away, such as a metal by acid Material’s ability to burn in the presence of oxygen. How readily a substance combines chemically with other substances.

  8. Chemical Changes Chemicalchanges occur when a substance reacts and forms one or more new substances. You know a chemical change has occurred when there is. . . • A change in color or odor. • Production of a gas (bubbling). • Formation of a precipitate (solid). • Absorb or release energy (gets hot or cold or light is given off).

  9. Examples of Chemical Changes: Burning Or Combustion: Color change, odor change, Produces a gas, gets hot Rusting: Color change Corroding: Color change Digesting: Color change, odor Change, produces a Gas, releases energy Molding: Color change Decaying: Color change
