Quarter 1 – Module 1

Properties of Matter and


Its Various Forms
After going through this lesson, you are expected to;

1. Use properties of matter to identify substances and to separate them


(STEM_GC11MPIa-b-5);

2. Recognize the formulas of common chemical substances (STEM_GC11MPIa-b-9);

3. Compare consumer products on the basis of their components for use, safety, quality
and cost (STEM_GC11MPIa-b-11);

4. Describe various simple separation techniques such as distillation, chromatography


(STEM_GC11MPIa-b-12);
Each substance has its own set of characteristics or properties that
distinguishes it from all other substances. Pepper is pungent while sugar is
sweet. Sand is grainy. Glass is breakable. Wood burns. Clothes can be folded.
Apple and potato slices, when exposed to air, turn brown. In these
examples, no matter what size or shape these substances have, their
particular property does not change (Hainen, 2002).

By examining materials, you can find similarities and differences in their


properties. This will enable you to organize them into groups
Properties of Matter
Physical properties are properties that are observed without
changing the composition of the substance, though their form
may change. Certain properties such as color, viscosity,
transparency, melting point, boiling point, hardness, density,
specific heat, and atomic or molecular diameter are usually
referred to as physical properties. These properties are involved
in a physical change.
Chemical properties are observed when matter is involved in a chemical
change. This property is related to the composition of the material. The
flammability of gasoline can be determined by burning it, producing carbon
dioxide. When pure water undergoes electrolysis (a process by which electric
current passes through water), water decomposes into hydrogen and oxygen.
In these examples, a chemical change takes place to form two completely
different substances. It results in the formation of new chemical substances. A
chemical reaction is usually detected when one of the following is observed:
formation of an insoluble product (precipitate), evolution of gas (bubbles), or
change in color.
OTHER PROPERTIES
Properties of matter may be used to describe them. An
extensive property is a property that changes when the
amount of material changes. Examples are mass, length,
and volume. An intensive property does not depend on the
size of the material. Temperature, color, odor, hardness,
density, melting and boiling points, and molecular weight
are examples of intensive properties.
