properties - do not depend on


the amount of matter. These include
boiling point andcolor.
LESSON 2- MATTER AND IT’S VARIOUS FORMS

Extensive properties - depend on the


WHAT IS MATTER? amount of matter that is being measured.
These include mass and volume.
-Matter is defined as anything that has mass and takes
up space ATOMS AND ISOTOPES

WHAT IS AN ATOM?
 It is the smallest unit of matter that
retains the identity of the substance
 It is first proposed by Democritus

ATOMIC STRUCTURE
 Atoms are composed of 2 regions: the
nucleus and electron clouds
NUCLEUS

PARTICLES COMPOSING ATOM -the center of the atom that contains the mass of the
atom, this is where the proton and neutron located
 ATOMS- smallest unit of matter
ELECTRON CLOUD
 MOLECULES- groups of two or more atoms -Regions that surrounds the nucleus that contains most
of the space in the atom, this is where the electron
 IONS- an electrically charged atom or group located
of atoms formed by the loss or gain of one or
more electrons JOHN DALTON- atoms are indivisible and
indestructible
3 STATES OF MATER
JHON JOSEPH THOMPSON- discover the negative
-SOLID, LIQUID, AND GAS electron of an atom
PROPERTIES OF MATTER ERNEST RUTHERFORD- named the positive
 PHYSICAL PROPERTY particles a proton
-is characteristic that can be observed and NIELS BOHR- concluded that electrons are located in
measured without changing the identity the planet like orbit of an atom
and composition of the substance. It can
be determine using our five senses JAMES CHADWICK- neutron’s were also located in
the nucleus of an atom
 CHEMICAL PROPERTY
-refers to the ability of a substance to
undergo changes to transform into a
different substance.

following characteristic

-Ability to change in odor


-Ability to change in color
-Ability to form gas
-Ability to give off light and heat
