Chemistry
The study of matter and the changes it undergoes
Matter
anything that has mass and volume
Mass
the amount of matter in an object
Weight
the force of gravity acting on an object’s mass
Kinetic Energy
-energy of motion
-measured by temperature
Potential Energy
inversely related to kinetic energy
Kinetic Theory of Matter/Kinetic Molecular Theory
matter is made up of particles which are in continual random motion
States of Matter
-based on particle arrangement
-based on energy of particles and
-the distance between solid particles
sublimation
solid to gas
deposition
gas to solid
plasma
-ionized gas
-excellent conductor of electricity
-affected by magnetic fields
-indefinite shape and volume
-most common state of matter
point where something is a solid, liquid, and gas
triple point
Pure Substances
-have a uniform and definite composition
-Elements
-Compounds (elements are bonded)
Mixtures
-two or more substances mixed together
-blended
-no definite composition, cannot assign a fixed ratio
Types of Mixtures
Heterogeneous
Homogeneous
Heterogeneous
do not have a uniform composition
-parts of the mixture can be seen and removed
Homogeneous
uniform composition
Physical Properties
Properties that can be measured or observed without changing the identity or composition of a substance
-Ex. color, odor, texture etc
Physical Changes
Changes in appearance without changing the composition of a substance
-Ex. cutting, breaking, pulverizing
Changes in state
-melting, freezing, boiling, subliming
Chemical Properties
-Properties that indicate HOW a substance reacts with other substances
-only observed when the substance undergoes a chemical change
-Ex. combustible, flammable
Chemical Changes (reactions)
-One or more substances react to form a completely new substance(s) with DIFFERENT chemical and physical properties
-Ex. rusting, corrosion, digestion, respiration
Law of Conservation of Mass
matter cannot be created or destroyed
Measurement
a type of observation
-two types, qualitative and quantitative
Qualitative
descriptive
