Bamboo has properties that make it a good choice for use in chopsticks. It has no noticeable odor or taste. It is hard, yet easy to split, and it is heat resistant. You will learn how properties can be used to classify and identify matter.
Describing Matter
Properties used to describe matter can be classified as extensive or intensive.
Describing Matter
Extensive Properties
The mass of an object is a measure of the amount of matter the object contains.
The volume of an object is a measure of the space occupied by the object.
An extensive property is a property that depends on the amount of matter in a sample.
Describing Matter
Intensive Properties
An intensive property is a property that depends on the type of matter in a sample, not the amount of matter. The hardness of a bowling ball is an example of an intensive property.
Identifying Substances
Identifying Substances
Why do all samples of a substance have the same intensive properties?
Identifying Substances
Matter that has a uniform and definite composition is called a substance . These kettles are mainly copper. Copper is an example of a substance.
Identifying Substances
This sculpture of a falcon is made of gold. Gold is an example of a substance.
Identifying Substances
Every sample of a given substance has identical intensive properties because every sample has the same composition.
Identifying Substances
A physical property is a quality or condition of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the substance’s composition.
Hardness, color, conductivity, and malleability are examples of physical properties.
Identifying Substances
States of Matter
States of Matter
What are three states of matter?
Three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.
States of Matter
Solids
A solid is a form of matter that has a definite shape and volume.
States of Matter

Physical Changes
How can physical changes be classified?
Physical Changes
During a physical change , some properties of a material change, but the composition of the material does not change.
As gallium melts in a person’s hand, the shape of the sample changes, but the composition of the material does not change.
Physical Changes
Physical changes can be classified as reversible or irreversible.
All physical changes that involve a change from one state to another are reversible.
Cutting hair, filing nails, and cracking an egg are examples of irreversible physical changes.

Panning is one way to separate gold from a mixture of gold and materials such as sand or gravel. A pan containing the mixture is place underwater and shaken vigorously from left to right. You will learn how to classify and separate mixtures.
Classifying Mixtures
Classifying Mixtures
How can mixtures be classified?
Classifying Mixtures
A mixture is a physical blend of two or more components.
A salad bar provides a range of items. Customers choose how much of each item to use in their salads. Each salad has a different composition.
Classifying Mixtures
Based on the distribution of their components, mixtures can be classified as heterogeneous mixtures or as homogeneous mixtures.
Classifying Mixtures
Heterogeneous Mixtures
A mixture in which the composition is not uniform throughout is a heterogeneous mixture .
Classifying Mixtures
Homogeneous Mixtures
A mixture in which the composition is uniform throughout is a homogeneous mixture.
Another name for a homogeneous mixture is a solution.
Classifying Mixtures
The term phase is used to describe any part of a sample with uniform composition and properties.
A homogenous mixture consists of a single phase.
A heterogeneous mixture consists of two or more phases.
Classifying Mixtures
When oil and vinegar are mixed they form layers, or phases. The oil phase floats on the water phase.

How can mixtures be separated?
Separating Mixtures
Differences in physical properties can be used to separate mixtures.
Separating Mixtures
Filtration
The process that separates a solid from the liquid in a heterogeneous mixture is called filtration .
A colander is used to separate pasta from the water in which it was cooked. This process is a type of filtration.
Separating Mixtures
Distillation
During a distillation , a liquid is boiled to produce a vapor that is then condensed into a liquid.

composition varies
composition may vary
components cannot be separated

Elements and Compounds
Take two pounds of sugar, two cups of boiling water, and one quarter teaspoon of cream of tartar. Add food coloring and you have the sticky, sweet concoction known as cotton candy. You will learn how substances are classified as elements or compounds.
Distinguishing Elements and Compounds
Distinguishing Elements and Compounds
How are elements and compounds different?
Distinguishing Elements and Compounds
An element is the simplest form of matter that has a unique set of properties.
A compound is a substance that contains two or more elements chemically combined in a fixed proportion.
Distinguishing Elements and Compounds
Compounds can be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means, but elements cannot.
Distinguishing Elements and Compounds
Breaking Down Compounds
A chemical change is a change that produces matter with a different composition than the original matter.
When table sugar is heated, it goes through a series of chemical changes.
Distinguishing Elements and Compounds
The final products of these chemical changes are solid carbon and water vapor. The following diagram summarizes the process.
Distinguishing Elements and Compounds
Properties of Compounds
In general, the properties of compounds are quite different from those of their component elements.
When the elements sodium and chlorine combine chemically to form sodium chloride, there is a change in composition and a change in properties.
Distinguishing Elements and Compounds
Chlorine is used to kill harmful organisms in swimming pools.

Conservation of Mass
How are the mass of the reactants and the mass of the products of a chemical reaction related?
Conservation of Mass
During any chemical reaction, the mass of the products is always equal to the mass of the reactants.
Conservation of Mass
The law of conservation of mass states that in any physical change or chemical reaction, mass is conserved.

always greater than the mass of the reactants.
always less than the mass of the reactants.
sometimes different than the mass of the reactants.
Pure Substances and Mixtures
Pure Substances and Mixtures
If matter is not uniform throughout, then it is a heterogeneous mixture .
If matter is uniform throughout, it is homogeneous .
If homogeneous matter can be separated by physical means, then the matter is a mixture.
