MATTER
• Anything that
occupies space and
has mass
• MASS - refers to the
total amount of
matter and should not
MATTER
• INERTIA - a property of
matter that allows it to
stay in it’s existing
state of rest or uniform
motion unless an
external force acts
MATTER
ATOMS - ARE THE BASIC UNIT OF
MATTER
1. MATTER IS COMPOSED OF SMALL
DISCRETE PARTICLES THAT ARE
CONSTANTLY MOVING CALLED
ATOMS.
PHASES OF MATTER
• PHASE CHANGE - a
change from 1 phase
to another when
energy in the form of
heat is added or
removed
PHASES OF MATTER
• PHASE CHANGE - a change
from 1 phase to another
when energy in the form of
heat is added or removed
⚬ They are melting,
freezing, evaporation,
condensation,
PHASES OF MATTER
1. PLASMA - is a hot ionized gas that
is
composed of electrons and
positively
charged ions
- heating a gas will form a plasma
– a soup
of positively charged particles
PHASES OF MATTER
2. SOLID - the fixed shape and
volume are due
to the very close arrangement of
the
particles to each other that very
little
movement is possible, particles
can only
PHASES OF MATTER
3. LIQUID - has nonuniform
arrangement of particles with
reasonable spaces in between them,
this arrangement explains their
ability to take on the shape of the
container.
PHASES OF MATTER
4. GAS- the distance between
particles is
greater compared with their sizes,
thus,
gases assume the shape and
volume of their
containers and has the ability to
be
PHASES OF MATTER
• When matter transforms from 1 phase to
another by heating, the heat applied
provides the molecules additional kinetic
energy that allows them to move faster
• They collide more often with each other,
eventually the the molecules are able to
escape to the other phase of matter: solid
to liquid , liquid to gas.
• Removing heat affects molecules reverse,
similarly pressure applied can also affect
the phase at which certainsubstance exist.
PHASES OF MATTER
PURE SUBSTANCE AND
• MIXTURE
MATTER - is classified into PURE SUBSTANCE
& MIXTURE
1. PURE SUBSTANCE - have fixed
omposition
- it refers to the fact that whatever
he source of
the pure substance, the composition
will remain
the same in all proportions
- As water will always have 2 atoms
f H and and 1
PURE SUBSTANCE
• ELEMENTS - will always have 1 atom
- the periodic table of elements shows
ll existing 118
elements as of present time
- Examples: Hydrogen, Oxygen,
Aluminum, Potassium
PURE SUBSTANCE
• COMPOUNDS- contains 2 or more atoms
of different elements held together by a
chemical bond
- Sodium as it reacts with chlorine
hrough ionic
bonding to form sodium chloride
- Sucrose (table sugar) contains carbon,
ydrogen
and oxygen atoms bonded together
- When compounds are formed, new
MIXTURES
• MIXTURE - have variable composition
- is a material composed of two or
more simpler
substances
- A mixture of liquids, solids, or gases
an be
produced
- can be homogenous or heterogenous
- When sugar is put in water, for
xample, it forms a
COMMON SEPARATION

CHANGES IN MATTER
• CHEMICAL CHANGE - refers to the change
in matter wherein the composition is
affected or altered thereby forming new
substances
- due to breaking bonds in comppounds
nd the
formation of new ones
- Chemical change normally observed
when there is
a change in some of physical and
CHANGES IN MATTER
• Changes observed in matter, both
physical and chemical, explained by the
movement and arrangement of particles
• PHYSICAL CHANGE - the transformation of
matter wherein the composition of matter
does not change
- no new substance are formed
ATOMS AND MOLECULES
• ATOMS - considered as the fundamental
unit of matter
⚬ very tiny particles
⚬ elements in the periodic table exist as
closely packed atoms of a particular
element such as gold, calcium,
sodium, oxygen etc.
ATOMS AND MOLECULES
• MOLECULES - are formed when a
chemical bond exists between 2 or more
atoms; atoms maybe the same or
different
- Diatomic Ions: H2, O2, N2, Cl2, Br2, F2, I2
ATOMS AND MOLECULES
• When atoms of 2 or more different
elements form a chemical bond, a
compound is formed
• 2 Types of bonding - Covalent Bonding
and Ionic Bonding
• COVALENT BONDING - 2 nonmetal
elements combined
• IONIC BONDING - 1 metal + non metal
elements
