    The document discusses different types of matter including mixtures and pure substances. It defines solutions and describes two special types - colloids and suspensions. It differentiates between physical and chemical changes, listing characteristics of each. Physical properties can be observed without changing a substance's identity, while chemical properties describe how a substance can react to form new substances. The states of matter - solid, liquid, gas and plasma - are also outlined based on particle behavior and kinetic energy.

    WORKING WITH MATTER

     Anything that has mass takes up space


     Huge subject so we need to break it up into types
    Mixtures and pure substances
     A has unlike parts and a composition that varies from sample to sample
     A heterogeneous mixture Has physically distinct parts with different properties
     Pure substances arte substances with a fixed composition (elements or combination of
    elements)

    Solutions

     Solute: what is dissolved (salt)


     Solvent: what does the dissolving(water)
     Almost all of the solutions used in this class are dissolved in water, it is known as the universal
    solvent
     Saturated Solute can be dissolved

    Two Special types of solutions

     Colloid: Has very small particles(muddy water)


     Suspension: Has large particles (stuff floating in ocean water)

    What is a Physical Change?

     A physical change occurs when the substance state but does not change its chemical composition
    for example: Water Freezing into ice, cutting a piece of wood into smaller pieces ,Etc.The
    appearances has changed, but the properties of the substance are the same

    Characteristics of physical changes

     Melting Point
     Boiling Point
     Vapor pressure
     Color

     Density

     Electrical conductivity

     Solubility
     Adsorption to a surface

     Hardness

    What are chemical changes?

     A chemical change occurs when a substance changes into something new.


    This occurs due to Heating, Chemical Reaction, Etc.

    Characteristics of chemical changes

     Reaction with acids


     Reaction with bases(Alkalis)
     Reaction with oxygen(Combustion)
     Ability to act as oxidizing agent

     Ability to act as reducing as reducing agent


     Reaction with other elements
     Decomposition into simpler substance
     Corrosion

    How can we identify physical properties?

     Physical properties are those that we can determine without changing the identity of the substance
    we are studying

    Examples of physical properties

     The physical properties of sodium metal can be observed or measured. It is a soft, Lustrous,
    silver-colored metal with a relatively low melting point an low density.
     A

    What are chemical properties?

     Chemical properties describe the way a substance can change or react to form other substances

    States of matter
     Solid: Particles bounded tightly together, particles can only vibrate, definite volume, definte
    shape, lowest kinetic energy of particles
     Liquid: particles only slightly bonded, they can slide pass each other, definite volume, shape of
    container
     Middle Kinetic Energy
     Gas: little attraction between particles, no definite shape or volume, particles will move anywhere
    they can
     High kinetic energy
     Plasma: high energy particles, ions, and subatomic particles
