Matter and Change
extensive properties:•depends on the amount of matter in a sample volume and mass
intensive properties•depends on the type of matter, NOT the amount hardness, boiling/melting point, density…
Matter
Elements•all particles are alike•serve as the building materials of all matter•smallest particle of an element that is still recognizable is called an atom•can’t be broken down anymore by “normal means”•found on the periodic table• currently there are about 118 elements• chemical symbols are used to
represent the elements• Example: C=carbon, N=nitrogen…..
Compounds and Molecules (over 10 million exist)
•two or more elements chemically combined
•a pure substance that is composed of two or more elements in a fixed ratio
•the properties of a compound are different than the elements that make it up
•can be broken down into the elements that make them up
•chemical formula
• a combination of symbols and subscripts that indicates the number and types of elements in a compound
• example: sugar is C6H12O6
• looks nothing like C, H, O by themselves
• can be broken down when burned
Chemical formula: A combination of symbols and subscripts that indicates the number and types of elements in a compound.
Symbol for sulfur Symbol for oxygen
Subscript for oxygenSymbol for copper
Phase: The physical form a substance is in, such as solid (s), liquid (l), or gas (g). Phase is greatly influenced by temperature.
Aqueous: A substance is aqueous (aq) when it is dissolved in water.

Physical properties• characteristics that can be easily observed without changing the substance that help identify it
• example: mass, volume, color, melting point, boiling point, shape, texture, hardness…
Physical change• simply change a physical property without changing what it is
• can be reversible or irreversible• example: ripping and folding paper, melting, sanding something, breaking it in half…
Physical vs. Chemical
Chemical properties• describe a substance’s ability to change into a different substance
• hard to observe and only becomes visible during a chemical reaction.
• examples: flammability, chemically reactive
Chemical change (chemical reaction)• the actual process of changing a substance into something new•often transfer of energy (heat), color change, production of gas or formation of a precipitate (solid that forms and settles out of a liquid)
• example: burning, rusting, mixing chemicals that react…
Physical or Chemical Change “Quiz”
conservation of mass• during any chemical reaction, the mass of the products is always equal to the mass of the reactants
• matter cannot be created nor destroyed
