Science 3 - Q1-W2 - Properties of Matter

The document discusses the properties and structure of matter. It defines matter as anything that occupies space and has mass. Matter exists in three states: solid, liquid, and gas. Each state has distinct properties. Solids have a definite shape and volume, liquids have a definite volume but no fixed shape, and gases have molecules that are far apart and move quickly in all directions. The document then examines specific properties of each state like hardness, viscosity, and solubility.

Science 3

Lesson 1: Properties and


Structure of Matter
Matter is anything that occupies space
and has mass.
Matter exists in different states: solid,
liquid and gas. Each state of matter has
its own properties.
Properties and Structure
of Matter
Weight
- Refers to the pull of gravity on an
object. An object’s weight on Earth is
different from its weight in space. An
objects weighs more on Earth than in
space. The unit of weight is newton (N)
Mass
- Refers to the amount of matter of an object. The
mass of an object is the same everywhere. Mass
is commonly expressed in milligram (mg), gram
(g) or kilogram (kg).
Volume
- Is the space occupied by matter.
- Volume is expressed in liters (L), milliliters (mL), or
cubic centimeters (cm3)
States of Matter
Learning
Objectives;

• Determine the three states of matter


• Describe the characteristics and properties of solid,
liquid and gas
Matter has three phases – solid, liquid and gas
Matter is made up of tiny particles called
molecules.
Molecules are made up of smaller particles
called atoms.
Solid
- Solids have molecules
that are packed
together.
- They cannot move
freely.
- It has shape and volume. 
Characteristics of
Solids
1. Solids have definite shape and volume. It means that the
shape and volume of a solid object remain the same
even if you change its position.

2 Solids have definite mass. This means that solid objects


can be weighed. The greater the mass of a solid object, the
heavier it is. But size does not tell the mass of a solid.

3. Solids occupy a definite space. It means that no two


solids can occupy the same spot at the same time.
Properties of Solids
1. Hardness
Some solid objects are hard and cannot
be bent or stretched easily.
Example: Diamond

2. Malleability
Some solid objects are malleable as they
can be pressed, hammered, or turned into
different shapes and sizes without
breaking apart.
Examples: Gold and plastic can be
hammered into thin sheets.
3. Brittleness
Some solid objects are brittle, so they can
break easily.
Example: glass and porcelain materials

4. Elasticity
Some solid objects are elastic like rubber
band. When pressure is applied on it, it
can be stretched widely. But it will go back
to its original shape once pressure is
removed.
5. Solubility
Some objects like salt, sugar, and
powdered milk can be dissolved in
water. Thus, they are considered
soluble.

6. Porosity
Some solid objects such as sponge,
paper, tissue and cloth are porous as
they can absorb or hold water.
Liquid
- Have molecules which are loosely
arranged.
- has a definite volume, but no fixed shape
Characteristics of
Liquids
1.Liquids take up space. Liquids occupy a
definite shape in the container. Fill a drinking
glass with water. When the glass is already
full, the water will overflow.

2.Liquids do not have definite shape. Liquids


follow the shape of their container. As you
pour liquid in different containers, its shape
changes.
Properties of
Liquids
1. Viscosity
Liquids can flow because their particles or
molecules can move past one another. Some
liquids like water, juice, and milk pour easily
and flow quickly. Other liquids such as honey
and syrup flow more slowly as they are
thicker.

2. Solubility
Liquids are soluble. Solubility is the property of
a liquid that enables it to dissolve other
substances like salt, sugar and flour.
Gases
- Have molecules that are so far apart
that they move quickly in all
directions.
- The force of attraction between them
is relatively weak to hold them
close.
Characteristics of
Gases
1. Gases do not have a definite shape or
volume. Air is present in the atmosphere
and in any open space. Air, however, can
be stopped by the solid walls of its
container. The particles in the air spread out
to fill the container. This can be
demonstrated by blowing air into an
inflated ballooomn,
