I. States of Matter

Kinetic Molecular Theory

States of Matter

A. Kinetic Molecular Theory

KMT

Particles of matter are always in motion.

The kinetic energy (speed) of these particles increases as temperature increases.

B. Four States of Matter

Solids very low KE - particles

vibrate but can’t move around

fixed shape fixed volume

B. Four States of Matter

Liquids low KE - particles can

move around but are still close together

variable shape fixed volume

B. Four States of Matter

Gases high KE - particles can

separate and move throughout container

variable shape variable volume

B. Four States of Matter

Plasma very high KE - particles collide with

enough energy to break into charged particles (+/-)

gas-like, variableshape & volume

stars, fluorescentlight bulbs, CRTs

B. Pure Substances

Element composed of identical atoms EX: copper wire, aluminum foil

B. Pure Substances

Compound

composed of 2 or more elements in a fixed ratio

properties differ from those of individual elements

EX: table salt (NaCl)

B. Pure Substances

Law of Definite Composition

A given compound always contains the same, fixed ratio of elements.

Law of Multiple Proportions

Elements can combine in different ratios to form different compounds.

B. Pure Substances

For example…

Two different compounds, each has a definite composition.

C. Mixtures

Variable combination of 2 or more pure substances.

Heterogeneous Homogeneous

C. Mixtures

Solution homogeneous very small particles no Tyndall effect Tyndall Effect

particles don’t settle EX: rubbing alcohol

C. Mixtures

Colloid heterogeneous medium-sized particles Tyndall effect particles don’t settle EX: milk

C. Mixtures

Suspension heterogeneous large particles Tyndall effect particles settle EX: fresh-squeezed

lemonade

C. Mixtures

Examples:

mayonnaise

muddy water

fog

saltwater

Italian salad dressing

III. Properties & Changes in Matter

Extensive vs. Intensive

Physical vs. Chemical

A. Extensive vs. Intensive

Extensive Property

depends on the amount of matter present

Intensive Property

depends on the identity of substance, not the amount

A. Extensive vs. Intensive

Examples:

boiling point

volume

mass

density

conductivity

B. Physical vs. Chemical

Physical Property

can be observed without changing the identity of the substance

Chemical Property

describes the ability of a substance to undergo changes in identity

Examples:

melting point

flammable

density

magnetic

tarnishes in air

B. Physical vs. Chemical

Physical Change

changes the form of a substance without changing its identity

properties remain the same

Chemical Change

changes the identity of a substance

products have different properties

B. Physical vs. Chemical

Signs of a Chemical Change

change in color or odor

formation of a gas

formation of a precipitate (solid)

change in light or heat

B. Physical vs. Chemical

Examples:

rusting iron

dissolving in water

burning a log

melting ice

grinding spices
