As An Online Class Student, Communication Is A Bit Different Than in
1. Be aware of strong language, all caps, and exclamation points. It is easy for
written text to be misread and misunderstood. Have you ever sent a text message
with good intent but your recipient thought you were being rude? If so, then you’ve
experienced this first-hand. By being cognizant of strong language, you can identify
potential confusions before sending messages. Tip: Read everything out loud before
you send it.
1. Yes, grammar and spelling matter. While texting, text speak can b gr8 4 ur friends.
In an educational setting (even online) however, keep it formal. Your written
communication should be professional and reflect proper writing style. Save written
shortcuts and less than stellar grammar for Snapchat if you must, but follow grammar
rules for school.
1. Cite your sources. Whenever you are sharing an idea that originated from someone
else (even if it is not word for word), it is good practice to cite that source. This
applies to discussion forums too. If you read a great thought in your text, share it, but
be sure you let your audience know where you saw it first.
1. Before asking a question, check the course content or search the internet to see if the
answer is easy to find.
1. Contact only your subject teachers (for queries and/or clarifications) during your
subject schedule with him/her.

Let's get started!
ALL ABOUT MATTER
What is matter?
Recall that chemistry is the study of the composition, structure, and
properties of matter, the processes that matter undergoes, and the energy changes
that accompany these processes; and that matter is anything that has mass and
occupies space.
Properties of Matter
What is the difference between physical properties and chemical properties?
1. Physical Property- is a characteristic that can be observed and measured
without changing the identity and composition of the substance. Physical
properties include phase (solid, liquid, gas), color, solubility, density, melting
and boiling points, volatility, viscosity, and conductivity.
2. Chemical Property- refers to the ability of a substance to undergo changes to
transform into a different substance. An example is flammability, which is the
ability of a substance to burn when in contact with flame, producing new
substance(s). Another example of a chemical property is the ability of an iron
to form rust by combining with oxygen in air.
But how about this so called intensive and extensive properties? How are they
different?
Another way of classifying properties of matter based on the effect of the
amount of matter present. Using this classification, properties are either extensive
or intensive.
Classification of Matter
Matter can be classified as a pure substance or a mixture. A pure substance is
characterized by an unchanging or specific composition. A mixture is composed of
different pure substances that are physically combined in variable proportions.
An element is the simplest type of matter that is composed of only one kind
of atom. Elements are given specific one-letter or two-letter symbols. Are you
familiar with the Periodic Table of Elements? That’s it. All that are included in the
table are elements.
A compound is composed of two or more elements combined chemically in
definite proportions. The symbol of a compound includes the element(s) that
comprise it and the number of atoms of each element (written as subscript). An
example of a compound is carbon dioxide (CO2), it has 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen
atoms.
Separation Techniques
Differences in physical properties can be used to separate mixtures. There are
various ways to separate a mixture depending on the properties of its components.
The following are some separation techniques:
2. FILTRATION- Filtration is a process used to separate solids from liquids or gases
using a filter medium that allows the fluid to pass through but not the solid. The
term “filtration” applies whether the filter is mechanical, biological, or physical. The
fluid that passes through the filter is called the filtrate.
a) Surface filter, which is a solid that traps solid particles. Ex. Filter
paper
TYPES OF FILTRATION
1) General Filtration- uses gravity to filter a mixture. Solid is left
on the filter, while the liquid flows below it
2) Cold Filtration- used to quickly cool a solution, prompting the
formation of small crystals; a method used when the solid is
initially dissolved; common method is to place the container
with the solution in an ice bath prior to filtration
3) Hot Filtration- the solution, filter, and funnel are heated to
minimize crystal formation during filtration; stemless funnels
are useful because there is less surface area for crystal growth;
used when crystals would clog the funnel or prevent
crystallization of the second component in a mixture.
3. DECANTATION- decanting allows a mixture of solid and liquid or two immiscible
liquids to settle and separate by gravity; this process can be slow and tedious
without the aid of centrifuge

5. EVAPORATION- used to separate out homogeneous mixtures where there are
one or more dissolved solids; drives off liquid components from the solid
components; the process typically involves heating the mixture until no more liquid
remain
