T1 - Matter

T1 - Properties of Matter

QuestionAnswer
Mass The amount of matter in an object.
(g) grams Mass is measured in grams (g)
1,000 g 1,000 g =1 kg
To measure mass We use a “balance” to measure mass. -double pan balance -triple beam balance -digital scale
Relative density Relative density describes matter as more dense or less dense than water.
Less Dense Floats For example, the ice cube is less dense than water.
More Dense Sinks For example, a rock is more dense than water.
Magnetism The attraction to a magnet.
Magnets Magnets are unique metals that have a naturally occurring magnetic field.
Magnetic Metals SINC SINC Steel Iron Nickel Cobalt
Magnetic Bar Attracted to magnetic metals. Labeled blue and red. (Blue - South Pole) (Red - North Pole)
Solubility The ability of a material to dissolve.
Soluble materials Examples: salt, sugar, honey, lemon juice, lime juice, etc.
Solute The soluble material.
Solvent The liquid for the soluble/solute to dissolve in. Water is considered a universal solvent.
Electrical conductivity The ability of a material to allow electrical energy to flow through. Metal is an electrical conductor.
Thermal conductivity The ability of a material to allow thermal energy to flow through. Metal and glass are thermal conductors.
Thermal insulators Examples are plastic and fabric.
States of Matter Solids, Liquids and Gases
Solids A type of matter that has a fixed shape and volume.
Solids examples Powder, sand, rock, salt, wood
Liquids A type of matter that has a fixed volume, but the shape depends on the container.
Liquids examples Water, oil, milk, ketchup, syrup, lava
Gases A type of matter with no fixed shape or volume.
Gases examples Oxygen, helium, water vapor, carbon dioxide
Thermal energy increasing Melting > evaporation
Thermal energy decreasing Condensation > freezing
Properties of gas -expand in their container -no measurable volume - invisible
Properties of liquid -take the shape of the container -particles close together/ measurable volume -flow
Properties of solid - keep their shape - particles close together/ measurable volume
Physical state of a solid Fixed shape, fixed volume
Physical state of a liquid Takes the shape of its container, fixed volume
Physical state of a gas Takes the shape of its container, no fixed volume
Chemical property A substance can change into a different substance through a chemical reaction. (Example: burning wood).
Physical change Physical changes do not make a new substance. It can change the shape or appearance of an object. Such as crumpling a piece of paper, or cutting, bending, or dissolving something.
Chemical change Chemical changes make new substances. Anytime a new substance is made, a chemical change takes place. Examples, burning wood or cake.
Mixture Form when two or more substances combine. Can be separated. For example, fruit salad.
Solution A mixture of two or more types of matter and can not be easily separated. Commonly a liquid, but can be a gas or solid. For example, soda or salt water.
