Module 1.1
DISTINGUISHING MATTER AND ITS PROPERTIES

I. Course Outcome : CO1. Apply the concepts of problem solving, critical thinking,
and analytical reasoning to formulate and solve real-life
problems with precision and accuracy

II. Learning Outcome/s : LO1.1 Describe and distinguish matter and its properties.

III. Time Frame : 2.5 hours

IV. Introduction/Outline : In this session, the learners demonstrate an understanding of

the properties of Matter and its various forms. The entire universe is made of two things: matter
and energy. For the time being we will concern ourselves with matter only.

 Matter can exist in one of three main states: solid, liquid, or gas.
 Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. A solid will retain its shape; the
particles are not free to move around.
 Liquid matter is made of more loosely packed particles. It will take the shape of its
container. Particles can move about within a liquid, but they are packed densely enough
that volume is maintained.
 Gaseous matter is composed of particles packed so loosely that it has neither a defined
shape nor a defined volume. A gas can be compressed.

 liquid: A substance that flows and keeps no definite shape because its molecules are
loosely packed and constantly moving. It takes the shape of its container but maintains
constant volume.
 gas: A substance that can only be contained if it is fully surrounded by a container (or
held together by gravitational pull); a substance whose molecules have negligible
intermolecular interactions and can move freely.
 solid: A substance that retains its size and shape without a container; a substance whose
molecules cannot move freely except to vibrate.

 Matter can be broken down into two categories: pure substances and mixtures. Pure
substances are further broken down into elements and compounds. Mixtures are
physically combined structures that can be separated into their original components.

 All properties of matter are either physical or chemical properties and physical properties
are either intensive or extensive.
 Extensive properties, such as mass and volume, depend on the amount of matter being
measured.

  Intensive properties, such as density and color, do not depend on the amount of the
substance present.
 Physical properties can be measured without changing a substance’s chemical identity.
 Chemical properties can be measured only by changing a substance’s chemical identity.

 intensive property: Any characteristic of matter that does not depend on the amount of
the substance present.
 extensive property: Any characteristic of matter that depends on the amount of matter
being measured.
 physical property: Any characteristic that can be determined without changing the
substance’s chemical identity.
 chemical property: Any characteristic that can be determined only by changing a
substance’s molecular structure.

 Physical changes only change the appearance of a substance, not its chemical
composition.
 Chemical changes cause a substance to change into an entirely new substance with a new
chemical formula.
 Chemical changes are also known as chemical reactions. The “ingredients” of a reaction
are called reactants, and the end results are called products.

 chemical change: A process that causes a substance to change into a new substance with
a new chemical formula.
 chemical reaction: A process involving the breaking or making of interatomic bonds and
the transformation of a substance (or substances) into another.
 physical change: A process that does not cause a substance to become a fundamentally
different substance.
