Matter

 What is Matter?
Matter is everything around you in the air every where.
 States of matter
Properties are physical properties means they can be measured without changing
the substances chemical identify. For example, the freezing point of a substance is
a physical property. When water freezes, but it’s still water.
 Changes in matter
Change in matter happens all around us all the time. Physical changes involve
states of matter and energy. No new substance is created during a physical
change, although the matter takes a different form. The size, shape, and color of
matter may change.
 Atoms and molecules that make up matter
Matter is made up of extremely tiny particles called atoms and molecules. Atoms
and molecules make up the three common states of matter on Earth- solids,
liquids, and gases. The particles of a liquid are attracted to one another, are in
motion, and are able to move past one another
 Illustrations of molecules
The terms molecule, compound, and atom can be confusing. Here’s an
explanation of what a molecule is with some examples of common molecules.
Molecules form when two or more atoms form chemical bonds with each other. It
doesn’t matter if the atoms are the same or are different with each other.
 Compounds
A compound is a thing that is composed of two or more separate elements.
 Pure substances
An example of a pure substances include tin, sulfur, diamond, water, pure sugar,
table salt, and baking soda. A pure substance or chemical substance is a material
that has a constant composition and has consistent properties throughout the
sample.
 Mixtures
A mixture is a substance made by mixing other substances together.
 Periodic Table
A substance is a sample of matter whose physical and chemical properties are the
same throughout the sample because the matter has a constant composition.
 More State of Matter
There are five known phrases, or states, of matter: Solids, liquids, gases, plasma
and Bose Einstein condensates. The main difference in the structures of each
state is in the densities of the particles.
 Atom
An atom is a source of nuclear energy.
 Physical and chemically ways that can change
Are you confused about the difference between chemical changes and physical
changes and how to tell them apart? In a nutshell, a chemical change produces a
new substance.
 Subdivisions and matter relate
A substance is a sample of matter whose physical and chemical properties are the
same throughout the sample because the matter has a constant composition.
