:humans use their understanding of
scientific principles to Change the form of matter into
useful materials
Matter:
 Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. Everything around us is
matter, including things that we cannot see, such as air and microbes
Pure susbtance:

 A pure substance has a uniform and unchanging composition, it can be solid,

liquid or gas, and it has the same atoms or molecules.

Pure Not pure

substance: substance:

Pure Sea water,

Water tap water

Salt Sand and

(NaCl) water
States of Matter:
Name and define the common states of matter.
Look at the picture and
name a substance that
exists in:

Solid state:

Liquid state:

Gas state:
Use google slides to write the properties
of solid liquid and gas.
 • Incompressible, expand when
• Incompressible heated. • Easily compressed
What is the difference between a
gas and a vapor?
Answer:

 The word gas refers to a substance that is naturally in the

gaseous state at room temperature. The word vapor
refers to the gaseous state of a substance that is a solid or
a liquid at room temperature. For example, steam is a
vapor because water exists as a liquid at room
temperature, and oxygen is a gas that exists in gaseous
state at room temperature
Physical properties:

Intensive Extensive
The difference between intensive and
extensive properties?
 Extensive properties are dependent on the amount of
substance present. For example, mass is an extensive
property. Length and volume are also extensive
properties. Density, on the other hand, is an example of
an intensive property of matter. Intensive properties are
independent of the amount of substance present. For
example, the density of a substance (at constant
temperature and pressure) is the same no matter how
much substance is present.
What is the difference between
evaporation and boiling?
 Chemical properties:

 The ability of a substance to combine with or change into one

or more other substances is called a chemical property.
