Why do all samples of a substance
have the same intensive properties?

2.1 Properties of Matter > Describing Matter
What you observe when you look at a
particular sample of matter is its properties.
• Is a solid shiny or dull?
• Does a liquid flow quickly or slowly?
• Is a gas odorless, or does it have a smell?

2.1 Properties of Matter > Describing Matter
Properties used to describe matter can be
classified as extensive or intensive
properties.

2.1 Properties of Matter > Describing Matter
Extensive Properties
Recall that matter is anything that has
mass and takes up space.
• The mass of an object is a measure of the
amount of matter the object contains.
– The mass of a
basketball is greater
than the mass of a golf
ball.

2.1 Properties of Matter > Describing Matter
Extensive Properties
The volume of an object is a measure of
the space occupied by the object.
• The volume of a basketball is greater than the
volume of a golf ball.
7 Copyright © by Savvas Learning Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.
.
2.1 Properties of Matter > Describing Matter
Extensive Properties
Mass and volume are both examples of
extensive properties.
• An extensive property is a property that
depends on the amount of matter in a
sample.

.
2.1 Properties of Matter > Describing Matter
Intensive Properties
There are properties to consider when
selecting a basketball besides mass and
volume.
• The outer covering may be made of
leather, rubber, or a synthetic composite.
– Each of these materials has different
properties that make the basketballs
suitable for different playing
situations.

.
2.1 Properties of Matter > Describing Matter
Intensive Properties
For example, leather balls are suitable for
indoor play but not outdoor play.
• Leather balls absorb water and dirt more
than rubber balls do.

.
2.1 Properties of Matter > Describing Matter
Intensive Properties
Absorbency is an example of an intensive
property.
• An intensive property is a property that
depends on the type of matter in a sample,
not the amount of matter.

Identifying a Substance
Each object in this figure has a
different chemical
makeup, or
composition.

2.1 Properties of Matter > Describing Matter
Identifying a Substance
Matter that has a uniform and definite
composition is called a substance.
• Aluminum and copper are examples of
substances, which are also referred to as
pure substances.
13 Copyright © by Savvas Learning Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.
.
2.1 Properties of Matter > Describing Matter
Identifying a Substance
Every sample of a given substance
has identical intensive properties
because every sample has the same
composition.

2.1 Properties of Matter > Describing Matter
Identifying a Substance
Aluminum and copper have some properties in
common, but there are differences besides their
distinctive colors.
• Aluminum is highly reflective and is often used in silver
paint.
• Pure copper can scratch the surface of aluminum
because copper is harder than aluminum.
• Copper is a conductor of heat or electric current.
• Copper and aluminum are both malleable, which means
they can be hammered into sheets without breaking.

2.1 Properties of Matter > Describing Matter
Identifying a Substance
Hardness, color, conductivity, and
malleability are examples of physical
properties.
• A physical property is a quality or
condition of a substance that can be
observed or measured without changing the
substance’s composition.

Identifying a Substance
Physical properties can help chemists
identify substances.
• For example, a colorless substance that
was found to boil at 100˚C and melt at
0˚C would likely be water.
• A colorless substance that boiled at 78˚C
and melted at –117˚C would definitely not
be water. It would likely be ethanol.

Glass is often used to make windows,
while copper is often used in electrical
wires. What properties of glass make it
a desirable material to use for
windows?
Glass is transparent, so it can be seen through;
hard, so it stays in place within window frames;
and heat resistant, so it helps prevent the
transfer of heat between outside and inside.

Depending on the circumstances, you use
three different words to refer to water—
water, ice, and steam.
• Water, which is a common substance, exists in
three different physical states.
– So can most other substances.

Solids
A solid is a form of matter that has a definite
shape and volume.
• The shape of a solid doesn’t depend on the
shape of its container.

2.1 Properties of Matter > States of Matter
Solids
A solid is a form of matter that has a definite
shape and volume.
• The shape of a solid doesn’t depend on the
shape of its container.
• The particles in a
solid are packed
tightly together, often
in an orderly
arrangement.
27 Copyright © by Savvas Learning Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.
.
2.1 Properties of Matter > States of Matter
Solids
A solid is a form of matter that has a definite
shape and volume.
• As a result, solids are almost incompressible;
that is, it is difficult to squeeze a solid into a
smaller volume.
• In addition, solids expand only slightly when
heated.

Liquids
The particles in a liquid are in
close contact with one
another, but the arrangement
of particles in a liquid is not
rigid or orderly.

.
2.1 Properties of Matter > States of Matter
Liquids
The particles in a liquid are in
close contact with one
another, but the arrangement
of particles in a liquid is not
rigid or orderly.
• Because the particles in a
liquid are free to flow, a liquid
takes the shape of the
container in which it is placed.

2.1 Properties of Matter > States of Matter
Liquids
The particles in a liquid are in
close contact with one
another, but the arrangement
of particles in a liquid is not
rigid or orderly.
• However, the volume of the
liquid doesn’t change as its
shape changes.
31 Copyright © by Savvas Learning Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.
.
2.1 Properties of Matter > States of Matter
Liquids
The volume of a liquid is fixed or constant.
• Thus, a liquid is a form of matter that has
an indefinite shape, flows, and yet has a
fixed volume.

Gases
• Like a liquid, a gas takes the shape of
its container.
• But, unlike a liquid, a gas can expand to
fill any volume.

Gases
A gas is a form of matter that

much farther apart than the
particles in a liquid.

Gases
A gas is a form of matter that
takes both the shape and
volume of its container.
• The particles in a gas are usually
much farther apart than the
particles in a liquid.
• Because of the space between
particles, gases are easily
compressed into a smaller volume.

2.1 Properties of Matter > States of Matter
Gases
The words vapor and gas are sometimes used
interchangeably. But there is a difference.
• The term gas is used for substances, like
oxygen, that exist in the gaseous state at
room temperature.
• Vapor describes the gaseous state of a
substance that is generally a liquid or solid
at room temperature, as in water vapor.

2.1 Properties of Matter > Physical Changes
The melting point of
gallium metal is 30˚C.
The figure at left
shows how the heat
from a person’s hand
can melt a sample of
gallium.
42 Copyright © by Savvas Learning Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.
.
2.1 Properties of Matter > Physical Changes
The shape of the sample changes during
melting as the liquid begins to flow, but
the composition of the sample does not
change.
• Melting is a physical change.
• During a physical change, some properties
of a material change, but the composition of
the material does not change.
43 Copyright © by Savvas Learning Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.
.
2.1 Properties of Matter > Physical Changes
• Words such as boil, freeze, melt, and
condense are used to describe
physical changes.
• So are words such as break, split,
grind, cut, and crush.
– There is a difference between these
two sets of words. Each set describes
a different type of physical change.
44 Copyright © by Savvas Learning Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.
.
2.1 Properties of Matter > Physical Changes
Physical changes can be classified
as reversible or irreversible.
• Melting is an example of a reversible
physical change.
– If a sample of liquid gallium cools
below its melting point, the liquid
will become solid.
45 Copyright © by Savvas Learning Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.
.
2.1 Properties of Matter > Physical Changes
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.

Water boils and becomes water vapor.
Is this a reversible or irreversible
physical change?
It is a reversible physical change because it
