    The document discusses properties of matter and measurement. It defines matter as anything that has mass, occupies volume, and has measurable properties. Properties can be extensive, meaning they depend on amount of matter, like mass and volume, or intensive, meaning they don't depend on amount, like color and hardness. Measurement is determining a quantity relative to a standard unit, like using a meter to measure length. Quantities have symbols and units, like using m for mass and kg for kilogram. The International System of Units standardizes measurement units globally. Later sections discuss density as a ratio of mass to volume, with examples like water having a density of 1,000 kg/m3.

    UNIT 2: PROPERTIES OF MATTER


    What is matter?
    Matter is anything that has mass, occupies volume and has properties that we
    can measure.
    All objects around us occupy space, but its not always clearly defined. For
    example, trees and stones have very clearly-defined boundaries, but water and the
    ground do not.

    Properties of matter
    They describe it and identify it; they can be:

    Extensive properties: these depend on the amount of matter that is present, for
    example, mass, volume and size.
    Intensive properties: these dont depend on the amount of matter that is
    present, for example colour, hardness, smoothness, luster and taste. They allow
    us to differentiate between two different substances.
    What is measurement?

    Measurement is a method of determining how much there is of a specific


    quantity (such as length or capacity) relative to an established standard unit of
    measurement (for example, a metre). To do that, we need and appropriate instrument.
    The properties that we can measure are quantitative properties. Those we cant
    count or measure, such as smell, taste, lustre or smoothness are qualitative properties;
    these properties dont have a standard unit of measurement.
    Activities
    1) Put the words in order to make questions. Then ask and answer the questions with a
    partner.
    a) are / of matter / the properties / What / ?
    b) we need / What / do / things / to measure / ?
    c) between a quantitative / is / and a qualitative property / the difference / What / ?
    2) Are the following properties of matter intensive or extensive? Which of them can we
    measure?

    smell

    height

    volume

    lustre

    mass

    colour

    width

    3) Classify the properties from the previous activity as quantitative or qualitative.


    4) Answer this question: can we always believe our senses (eyes, ears, etc.) or is it
    better to measure things?

    Quantities and units


    A quantity is defined as anything that can be measured, such as length, time,
    mass, temperature or force.
    A unit of measurement is a standard used to measure a quantity.
    Quantities are represented by symbols. For example, mass is represented by the
    letter m and temperature by the letter T.
    Measurements are expressed by a number together with the unit of the quantity
    that we are measuring: for example, David is 1.78 m (metres) (and thats true!).
    The international system of units
    A system of units is a scientific method of expressing the values of quantities
    using their units of measurement. We use the International System of Units (SI).
    However, sometimes these units are too big or too small, so multiples and fractions are
    used instead.

    3) Choose the correct words. Cross out the wrong ones.
    A system of symbols / units is a scientific method to express the values of forces /
    quantities. In 1960 all the countries in the world decided to adopt the International /
    National System of Units. Sometimes the SI units are too tall / big or too small, so
    instead, kilometres / multiples and fractions / kelvins are used.

    Mass, Volume and Density

    Mass is the amount of matter in something; it is an extensive property; its SI unit


    of measurement is the kilogram (kg).
    Volume is the amount of space occupied by something; it is also an extensive
    property; its SI unit of measurement of volume is the cubic metre (m3). As sometimes
    the cubic metre (m3) is too big for many measurements, the cubic decimetre (dm3) or the
    cubic centimetre (cm3) is used instead.
    Capacity is the maximum amount (volume) something can contain. Containers
    for measuring liquids or small solids, such as grain or soil, are graduated so that we can
    measure the volume they contain; the SI unit we use more often is the litre (l).

    A substances density is equal to the ratio of its mass to its volume; it is an


    intensive property.
    Density = mass_
    volume
    At 4C, 1 L of distilled water has a mass of approximately 1kg. The unit of
    density is the unit of mass divided by the unit of volume. For example, the density of
    water is 1 kg/L. As the SI unit for density is kg/m3 the density of water is 1 000 kg/m3
    in the SI. This unit is often too big, thats why we use smaller units, such as g/cm3, or
    kg/L, which we have already used.
