MATTER

 Anything that occupies space and has mass.


Structure of Matter
Modern physics has revealed
successively deeper layers of structure in
ordinary matter. Matter is composed, on a
tiny scale, of particles called atoms. Atoms
are in turn made up of minuscule nuclei
surrounded by a cloud of particles called
electrons. Nuclei are composed of particles
called protons and neutrons, which are
themselves made up of even smaller
particles called quarks. Quarks are
believed to be fundamental, meaning that
they cannot be broken up into smaller
particles.

States of Matter
Solid, atoms are tightly packed and very
close to each other. Compact, has definite
shape & volume.
Liquid, atoms are less compact. It has
definite volume but indefinite shape. It depends
on the shape of its container.
Gas, atoms are far from each other. It has
indefinite shape & volume. It has great
expansion capacity.
Changes in state of Matter
Other States of Matter
Plasma, in physics, usually gaseous state of
matter in which a part or all of the atoms or
molecules are dissociated to form ions (see
Ionization). Plasmas consist of a mixture of neutral
particles, positive ions (atoms or molecules that
have lost one or more electrons), and negative
electrons. A plasma is a conductor of electricity,
but a volume with dimensions greater than the so-
called Debye length exhibits electrically neutral
behavior.

Properties of Matter
Physical property
1. Intensive property – properties that
don’t depend on matter present.
2. Extensive property – properties that
depend on matter present.
Chemical property
1. Flammability/combustion
2. Reactivity with water (electrolysis)
3. pH
4. Electromotive force
Classification of Matter
A. Pure Substance

1. Element – substance made up of only


one type of atom. Simplest form of
matter.

2. Compound – made up of two or more


types of atoms of elements. Elements are
combined chemically in a definite
proportion.
B. Mixtures
– consist of two or more substances that are
physically combined in no definite proportion by
mass.
1. Homogeneous mixture – one phase
a. Solution – a mixture of one substance dissolve
in another so the properties are the same
throughout.
2.Heterogeneous Mixture – two or more phases
a. Suspension – a mixture between two
substances, one in which is finely divided and
dispersed in the other.
b. Colloid – a mixture in which particles are
smaller than a solution. They’re not uniformly
dispersed all throughout and cloudy in
appearance.
