Matter: Physical State andChemical Constitution Physical State: as gas, liquid, solid slide 6 Chemical Constitution as an element, mixture or compound
two or more elements mixed • without chemical interaction • two or more elements • chemically combined Compound Mixture Homogeneous Heterogeneous Chemical Constitution of Matter Element cannot be decomposed by any chemical reaction into simpler substances. The smallest unit of an element is the atom The smallest unit of a compound is themolecule
Elements Compounds Each substance has its unique composition and properties. Chemical Constitution of Matter Pure Substances
melting point, freezing point, density, etc.) No change in neither structure nor properties A chemical reaction: change in structure and the properties Ex 1: Physical and Chemical Properties of Matter Physical properties Chemical Properties
Ex 2: A chemical reaction: change in structure and the properties
Measurable Properties of Matter • Intensive Properties: • Independent of the amount of the substance that is present. • Density, boiling point, color, etc. • Extensive Properties: • Dependent upon the amount of the substance present. • Mass, length, volume, temperature, etc.
