Notes on Matter

Matter – anything that has mass and takes up space

Mass – is the measure of how much material makes up the object

Weight – measure of the force of gravity on an object

Volume – amount of space an object takes up

Properties of Matter – Property is something about an object that can be observed such as
its size, shape, color, smell, or sound

States of Matter – 3 forms solid, liquid, gas


Solid – person, ice, puppy, flowerpot
Liquid – water, juice, coffee
Gas – air, carbon dioxide

What makes up Matter?

Atoms – tiny particles or building blocks of matter, smallest unit of matter


 Composed of 3 primary particles
 Protons – carries positive charge
 Neutrons – carries neutral charge
 Electrons – carries negative charge and is smallest particle of atom

Nucleus – central part of an atom and contains nearly all the mass of the atom
 2 kinds of particles are found in nucleus and they are protons and neutrons
 particles called electrons move around nucleus in paths called orbits

Molecules – 2 or more atoms lightly attached to one another and act as a unit

Does matter change?

Physical Change – changes in the size and shape of an object

Evaporation – when a liquid changes to a gas

Water Vapor – is water in its gas form

Condensation – Cooling air causes water vapor to change to a liquid

Chemical Change – a change that causes matter to become a new kind of matter
Mixtures and Solutions

Mixture – 2 or more substances are combined and each substance stays the same

Solution – mixture has some composition and appearance throughout

Element – a substance that cannot be separated into simple substances by chemical means

means but cannot be separated any other way

Mixture Examples
 breakfast cereal (grains, nuts, raisins)
 granite (quartz, hornblende, feldspar)
 Muddy water

Solutions
 ocean water (salt, minerals in water)
 Tincture of Iodine (iodine in alcohol)
 Limestone
 Salt
 Conglomerate rock

Solute – gets dissolved (salt in water)


Solvent – does the dissolving
Filtration – separates sediment from water
Mixture – easily separated
Solution – evenly spreads molecules
