MATTER
Matteris anything that
takes up space.
What is matter? What is mass?

object.

PROPERTIES
All matter
has
properties.
They tell you
what an
object is like.
Taste, Smell,
Size, Colour,
Weight and Hardness
are all properties of matter.

SOLID STATE
•It has a
certain
shapeand
volumeon

•Atoms, (or
particles),
stay close
together.
•They move
back and

LIQUID STATE
•It has a certain
volume but no
shapeof its
own.
•They take on
the shape of
their container.
•The atoms are
farther apart
than those in
solids.
•Liquids change
shapes because
the atoms move
around each
other.

GAS STATE
•It does not
have a shape
or volumeof
its own.
•The atoms
are separated
by space and
move around
more than
atoms in
liquids and
solid.
•Gases
spread out
and can fill all
space in a
container.

We can describe matter
measuring its properties.

Length
It measures the distance between two points.
It can be measured with a meter stick.
Unitsfor measuring length are:
Metre

Centimetre(1 m = 100 cm)
Millimetre(1 m = 1,000 mm)

It measures the amount of spacethat
matter takes up.
Volume can be measured:
With a meter stick. We need to know:
The length
The width the answer will be in cubic meters
The height
With a graduated cylinderto measure the
volume of liquids.
Units for measuring volume of
liquids are:

It measures the weight of matter.
It can be measured with a balanceor scale.
Units for measuring mass are:

For example: Hydrogen, (H
2), Oxygen, (O
2), Nitrogen, (N
2), and Chlorine, (Cl
2), are no
compounds because each is composed of a single element. They are molecules.
Nitrogen Oxide, (NO), Water, (H
2O), Nitrogen Dioxide, (NO
2), and Carbon Dioxide, (CO
2),
are compoundsbecause each is made from more than one element.
A single molecule of Hydrogen is made from two atoms of hydrogen, while a single
molecule of water is made from two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.

PHYSICAL CHANGES
Changesin sizeand
shapeand the way
things look are called
physical changes.
Another
example of
physical
change is when
matter changes
from one state
to another
state:

CHANGES FROM ONE STATE TO ANOTHER STATE
Solidscan be changedto
liquids–heatmeltssolids and
changes them to solids. This
process is calledliquefaction.
Liquidscan be changed
into gases–when wateris
heatedto 100º C, it changes
from a liquid into water vapor
or gas. This process is
called evaporation.

Gasescan be changedinto
liquids–coolingaircan
cause water vapor to change
from a gas to a liquid. This
process is called
condensation.
Liquidscan be changedto
solids–when liquid water
iscooledto a temperature
of 0º, it changes to a solid
called ice. This is called the
freezing pointof water, or
solidification.

WHAT IS A MIXTURE?
Mixtures
are two or
more
substances
that can be
mixed
together,
but can
also be
separated
again.

WHAT IS A SOLUTION?
A solutionis a
homogeneous
mixture
composed of
two or more
substances, in
which one
substance is
dissolved in
another, so the
properties are
the same
throughout.

CHEMICAL CHANGES
When matter changes
into a different type of
matter, it is called a
chemical change.
A substancegoes through
a chemical change when it
is turned into one or more
new substances.
