Unit 7 Matter: Natural Science

This document discusses the properties of matter. It defines matter as anything that has mass and takes up space. There are general properties shared by all matter, like mass and volume, as well as specific properties that vary between materials, such as color, hardness, and density. It also defines the three states of matter - solids, liquids, and gases - and their distinguishing characteristics. For example, solids have a fixed shape and volume, liquids have a fixed volume but not shape, and gases have no fixed shape or volume. The document provides examples of measuring and calculating various material properties.

1. Properties of matter I
MATTER

Matter is everything around us that has mass and takes up space.


E.g.: rocks, air, water, etc.

PROPERTIES OF MATTER

General Properties Specific Properties


(All matter) (Different matter)
• Mass • Colour
• Volume • Hardness
• Flexibility
• Density
1. Properties of matter I
MASS

Mass is the amount of matter in an object.

MEASURING MASS

Mass is measuring in kilograms (kg) or grams (g).


Different types of scales are used to measure
mass.
1. Properties of matter I
VOLUME

Volume is the amount of space that an object occupies.

MEASURING VOLUME

Volume is measured in litres (l) or millilitres (ml). Cubic centimetres (cm3) can
also be used to measure volume.

LIQUIDS SOLID
Measuring cylinders. Regular-shaped Irregular-shaped
Math formula Water method
2. Properties of matter II
DENSITY

Density refers to the concentration of matter in a particular volume.


We calculate the density of an object by dividing its mass by its volume.
Objects of the same size can have very different densities depending on the
material they are made of.

MEASURING DENSITY SINK OR FLOAT?

To calculate the density of an Objects can sink or float


object, we first need to know its depending on their density when
mass and its volume. we placed them in a liquid.
D= M / V D o > D l = sink
D o < D l = float
3. Solids, liquids and gases
SOLIDS

Solids have a fixed volume and shape because their atoms are very close
together and cannot move, flow and compressed.

SOLIDS PROPERTIES

• A solid is elastic when it can be stretched and it


returns to its original shape.
• A solid is flexible when it can bend and does
not break.
• A solid is fragile when it can break easily.
• A solid is strong when it can support a lot of
weight and force without breaking.
3. Solids, liquids and gases
LIQUIDS

Liquids have a fixed volume, but not a fixed shape. Their atoms are
further apart and can move more freely. Liquids can flow, but not
compressed.
LIQUIDS PROPERTIES

• A liquid is viscous when it does not flow easily.


• A liquid is volatile when it evaporated easily.
3. Solids, liquids and gases
GASES

Gases do not have a fixed volume or shape. Their atoms are much
further apart and can move more freely. Gases can flow and compressed.
When a gas is compressed, the same amount of matter is pushed into a
smaller amount of space so, the mass is the same but the volume
decrease.
3. Solids, liquids and gases
SUBLIMATION AND REVERSE SUBLIMATION

Sublimation and reverse sublimation are changes of state in which a solid


turns into a gas, or vice versa, without an intermediate liquid state.
Sublimation = a solid into a gas
Reverse sublimation = a gas into a solid
