1. We often use three terms----matter, material and substances. How do these

terms differ from each other? Give an example of each.
ANS:
We define matter as anything that has mass and occupies space. Matter is
made up of molecules. Solid, liquid and gas are the three states of matter. Any
specific sample of matter is known as material. For example, paper, wood,
stone, glass, and so on are all materials. The term substance is more specific
and refers to a pure element or a compound or a mixture. For example, silver,
iron, aluminium, gold, copper, water, common salt and so on are all
substances.

2. State two properties (other than those mentioned in the chapter) based on
which you can group different substances.
ANS:
Colour, odour, boiling point and melting point are some other properties of
matter on the basis of which we may classify matter.
Values and life skills.
Suman dissolved common salt and sugar in water. She observed that some
fine particles were still floating in water. On heating for 4-5 minutes, she found
that the solution became almost clear and the fine floating particles totally
disappeared. Explain to suman
the phenomenon involved.

ANS:
The solutes---- salt and sugar, were slowly dissolving in water. During the
initial stage, the solute particles were still visible. As the temperature of the
solution increased, the solubility also increased, and the solutes disappeared
completely.
