Section 3.1 Properties of Matter
What is matter?
• Anything that has mass and takes
up space
• Mass is a measurement of the
amount of matter in an object. It is
different than weight which
measures the amount of matter
AND the gravitational pull on an
object.
Now that you’re an expert, which of the
following is matter?
Matter Not Matter
1. A book
2. A house
3. A thought
4. Your brain
5. Light
6. Your cell phone
7. Radio waves
There is so many different kinds of
matter, that we need to organize it.
Substances have a uniform and unchanging
composition
examples: salt,
water,
sugar
Physical Properties of Matter
A characteristic that can be observed
or measured without changing the
composition of the sample
Properties such as density, color, odor,
taste, hardness, melting point, boiling
point
Physical Properties of Matter: Two Types
Changes in Matter
Physical Change
• Changes in a substance’s appearance, not in
composition
Types of physical changes:
•Bend, grind, crumple
•Split, crush, twist
•Boil, freeze, melt, vaporize
(changes of state or phase)
Chemical Changes
• A change in the composition of a
substance
• Also called a chemical change or
chemical reaction
• Ex: rust, corrode, tarnish, rot,
burn, ferment, explode, oxidize

Evidence of Chemical Change
2. Energy change:
absorbed or released
3. Odor changes
or production
4. Gas production
5. Precipitate
formation
Classify each as a physical or
chemical change:
1. A dead fish rotting
2. Dissolving salt in water
3. Boiling salt water until only salt remains
4. Melting steel
5. Bending steel
6. Cracking ice
Law of Conservation of Mass
Mass is neither created nor destroyed
during a chemical reaction—it is
conserved. (Antoine Lavoisier)
Mixtures of Matter
Mixtures
• A combination of 2 or more pure substances
in which each pure substance retains its
individual chemical properties.
Types of Mixtures
1. Heterogeneous—individual substances
remain distinct
Types of Mixtures
2. Homogeneous—has a constant
composition throughout
-called a solution
Types of Solutions
• Gas-gas: air
• Gas-liquid: soft drinks
• Liquid-gas: moist air
• Liquid-liquid: vinegar
• Solid-liquid: Crystal Light
• Solid-solid: steel (called
“alloys”—mixture of metals
producing greater strength)
Separating Mixtures
1. Physical separation:
hand selection or
pouring through sieves
Separating Mixtures
2. Filtration—uses a
porous barrier to separate
a solid from a liquid
Separating Mixtures
3. Distillation—based on
differences in the
boiling points of the
substances involved
Separating Mixtures
4. Crystallization—results
in the formation of pure
solid particles of a
substance from a solution
containing the dissolved
substance
Separating Mixtures
5. Chromatography—
separating the
components of a mixture
based on the tendency of
each to travel across the
surface of another
material.

Elements Compounds
H2O
Compounds
• Can be broken down into simpler
substances by chemical means
• Usually requires energy
Compounds
• Properties of a compound are different from
its component elements
• Ex: water—liquid at
room temp.
Hydrogen—a
colorless,
tasteless gas
Oxygen—a
colorless,
tasteless gas
Sodium chloride
• As a compound, it is a white, unreactive
solid that adds flavor to food
• Its component elements:
Chlorine—poisonous, pale,
green gas Sodium—a highly
reactive element
that fizzes in water
Law of Definite Proportions
• John Dalton
• A pure substance will always have the same
percent by weight
• Ex: water (H2O) = 11.2 % hydrogen
88.8% oxygen
To find percent by mass:
Percent by mass = mass of element x 100
mass of compound
