What is matter? • Something which occupies space and has mass • Can be sensed and measured
Describing Matter • Since the time of the Greeks, people have wondered about the nature of matter. • There were 2 main concepts.
Concepts of Matter • Matter is continuous. • It can be subdivided forever. • There is no smallest particle.
Concepts of Matter • Matter is NOT continuous. • Subdividing matter eventually must stop at the smallest particle. • This is theparticle theory of matter.
How big are these particles? • Very, very tiny • 1 million particles laid side-by-side would not be as long as the thickness of a sheet of paper.
What are they called? • These smallest particles are called atoms. • Aristotle thought that they had no size at all. • We can image atoms with the STM (Scanning Tunneling Electron Microscope).
Particle Model Evidence A good model should match real-life observations.
Particle Model Evidence • Dissolving sugar into tea • Dissolving cherry drink mix into water
Particle Model Evidence • We can indirectly observe that these particles are moving.
Particle Model Evidence • The mixing caused by this motion is called diffusion. • Since Robert Brown first noticed evidence of the particle motion that causes diffusion, it is called Brownian motion.
Kinetic-Molecular Theory The evidence leads to the conclusion that matter is composed of tiny particles that are in random, constant motion.
Atom • Basic particle of matter • Made up of protons, neutrons and electrons
Protons • Located in the nucleus • Have a + charge • Have the same relative mass as the neutron
Neutrons • Located are in the nucleus • Have a neutral charge • Have the same relative mass as proton
Electrons • Located are outside the nucleus • Have a negative charge • Have a very tiny relative mass compared to protons and neutrons
Atom • Mass – protons and neutrons account for almost all of the mass of the atom • Volume – electrons account for the volume of the atom
Molecules • Molecules are formed when atoms bond together. • Molecules usually do not have a charge.
Ions • A charged atom • Formed with atoms lose or gain electrons
Ions • Cations – atoms lose electrons to form positive ions. • Anions – atoms gain electrons to form negative ions.
What is “mixing” due to particle motion? • Diffusion • Boiling • Freezing • Melting Question

Pure Substances • contain only one kind of matter
Elements All atoms are the same.
Compounds • made up of two ore more atoms • have the same ratio of elements
Compounds 2 types Organic Inorganic • contain carbon • living things • do not have carbon • water, table salt
Mixtures • Contains two or more substances • physically placed together, not bonded • Variable composition
Mixtures 2 types Homogeneous Heterogeneous
Homogeneous • Particles are NOT visible separate. • called solutions Examples: saltwater, alloys
Heterogeneous • Particles are visible separate. Examples: soil, vegetable stew, wood, concrete
States of Matter • solid • liquid • gas
Solid • Particles are locked in place. They are rigid and have a definite shape. • Particles have low kinetic (motion) energy. • Particles are not very compressible and have a definite volume.
3 Types of Solid Structures • crystalline – Particles are locked in a pattern. • amorphous – Particles lack a pattern; fluid • heterogeneous solid – no orderly pattern but not totally random
Liquid • Particles can flow around each other. They have no definite shape. • Particles have a higher kinetic energy than solids. • Particles are not very compressible. They have a definite volume.
Viscosity • the thickness of a liquid • High attraction between the particles and flows slowly. • Less viscous at higher temperatures
Lubricants liquids that reduce friction
Gas • Particles are separate from one another; no definite volume or shape. • Particles can be compressed because of the space between them.
Gas • Particles move very fast and have a very high kinetic energy. This allows them to overcome attractive forces. • Particles move a short distance before colliding with other gas particles.
Fluids (Liquids and Gases) substances that have the ability to flow
Fluids (Liquids and Gases) • Gas expands to fill a container; liquid does not. • Both gases and liquids will mix because the particles are not locked in place.
Fluids (Liquids and Gases) • A warmer substance mixes faster. • Particles colliding with a container cause pressure.
