Activity Title: Matter and Its States
Learning Target:1. To define matter.
2. To enumerate the states of matter.
Reference: Stoker, H. Stephen, Exploring General, Organic and Biological Chemistry, page 2
Mendoza, Estrella E., Phoenix Science Series Chemistry, pp. 32- 33

Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass. Matter includes all naturally occuring things-
both living and nonliving- that can be seen (such as plants, soil, and rocks), as well as things that cannot
be seen (such as air and bacteria).
We can classify matter into five states:
1. SOLID
A solid has a definite shape, which it tends to maintain under normal conditions. A solid, such as
a metal, occupies a definite volume. It has a high density and is slightly affected by pressure.
The particles of matter in the solid state are arranged very orderly, ocuppying fixed positions.
2. LIQUID
A liquid does not have its own shape, but it can take the shape of the container in which it is
placed. A liquid flows freely. It also has a high density and is affected little by pressure. The
particles of matter in the liquid state have more freedom of movement than the ones in the
solid state.
3. GAS
A gas has no shape and tends to spread out to fill every bit of available volume in its container.
Gases have low densities. The density of a gas will depend on the pressure exerted on it. The
particles in the gaseous state have even greater freedom of movement than those in the liquid
state.
4. PLASMA
It is a gaseous mixture of electrons (negatively charged particles of an atom) and positive ions
(atoms that have lost electrons) which exists only at high temperatures, such as those found in
the sun, stars or inside an atomic bomb. Plasma can be accelerated and steered by electrical
and magnetic fields which allows it to be controlled and applied.
5. BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATE (BEC)
A Bose-Einstein Condensate was observed in atoms chilled to less than a millionth of a degree
above absolute zero. One unusual characteristic of the condensate is that it is composed of
atoms that have lost their individual identities.
6. FERMIONIC CONDENSATE
Fermionic atoms at low temperatures form the Fermionic Condensate, which is a superfluid
phase4. It is similar to the Bose-Einstein condensate but fermionic condensates are formed
from fermions instead of bosons. Fermions form condensates just like electrons form a
superconductor.

Exercises:
1. Based on your own understanding, what is matter?
2. What are the six classifications of matter?

page 59 Stoker, H. Stephen, Exploring General, Organic and Biological Chemistry, page 187
A change of state is a process in which a substance is transformed from one physical state to
another physical state.
Changes of state are classified into two categories based on whether heat is given up or
absorbed during the change process. An endothermic changes of state is a change of state in which
heat energy is absorbed. An exothermic change of state is a change of state in which heat energy is
given off.

Activity Title: Properties of Matter
Learning Target: To define the properties of matter.
Reference: Stoker, H. Stephen, Exploring General, Organic and Biological Chemistry, pp.2-3
Mendoza, Estrella E., Phoenix Science Series Chemistry, pp. 34-35

A property is a distinguishing characteristic of a substance that is used in its

identification and description. Each substance has a unique set of properties that
distinguishes it from all other substances. Properties of matter are of two general types:
physical and chemical.
1) Physical property is a characteristic of a substance that can be observed without
changing the basic identity of the substance. Common physical properties include color,
physical state (solid, liquid, or gas), melting point, boiling point, and hardness.
Physical properties may further be classified as extensive or intensive physical
properties.
a) Extensive physical properties depend on the quantity of matter or the amount of
substance that is being examined or described. Examples of extensive properties
are mass, volume, and length.
b) Intensive physical properties depend on the quality of matter. Some examples of
intensive physical properties are color, odor,taste, density, melting and boiling point.
2) A chemical property is a characteristic of a substance that describes the way the
substance undergoes or resists change to form a new substance. For example, iron
reacts with oxygen to form a compound called iron oxide, commonly known as rust. The
ability of iron and oxygen to enter into this combination is a chemical property of both
iron and oxygen.

Activity Title: Classification of Matter
Learning Target: To classify matter base on its chemical composition.
Reference: Stoker, H. Stephen, Exploring General, Organic and Biological Chemistry, pp. 6-9

Matter can also be classified in terms of its chemical composition as a pure substance or as a
mixture.
1. Pure substance is a single kind of matter that cannot be separated into other kinds of matter
by any physical means. It always has a definite constant composition and could either be an
element or a compound.
o Element is a pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler pure substances
by chemical means such as a chemical reaction, an electric current, heat, or a beam of
light. The metals gold, silver, and copper are all elements.
o Compound is a pure substance that can be broken down into two or more simpler pure
substances by chemical means. Water is a compound. By means of an electric current,
water can be broken down into the gases hydrogen and oxygen, both of which are
element. E.g Acids, bases and salts.
2. Mixture is a physical combination of two or more pure substances in which each substance
retains its own chemical identity because they are physically mixed rather than chemically
combined. One characteristic of any mixture is that its components can be separated by
physical means. Mixtures are subclassified as heterogeneous or homogeneous. This
subclassification is based on visual recognition of the mixture’s components.
o Heterogeneous mixture is a mixture that contains visibly different phases (parts), each
of which has different properties. A nonuniform apperance is a characteristic of all
heterogeneous mixtures. E.g. Fruit Salad
o Homogeneous mixture is a mixture that contains only one visibly distinct phase (part),
which has uniform properties throughout. The components present in a homogeneous
mixture cannot be visually distinguished. E.g. Coffee

Exercise: Classify each of the following as element,compound, heterogeneous or homogeneous mixture.

1. Oxygen 6. gasoline
2. halo-halo 7 Ethyl alcohol
3. Helium 8. Oil in water
4. Mouthwash 9. Salt
5. Vinegar 10. Carbon dioxide

Activity Title: Changes in Matter

Learning Target: To determine the changes that matter undergo.
Reference: Stoker, H. Stephen, Exploring General, Organic and Biological Chemistry, pp. 4-5
Bayquen, Aristea V., Chemistry, page 50

What is “Change”?
 It is the act of altering a substance.
 An event, NOT a trait.
 Before condition  After condition.
 Can be PHYSICAL or CHEMICAL.
Changes in matter are classified into two categories: physical and chemical.
1. A physical change is a process in which a substance changes its physical appearance
but not its chemical composition. A new substance is never formed as a result of a
physical change.
A change in physical state is the most common type of physical change. In any of
these processes, the composition of the substance undergoing change remains the
same even though its physical state and appearance change. The melting of ice does
not produce a new substance; the substance is water both before and after the
change.
2. A chemical change is a process in which a substance undergoes a change in chemical
composition. Chemical changes always involve conversion of the material or materials
under consideration into one or more new substances, each of which has properties
and a composition distinctly different from those of the original materials. The
following are pieces of evidence of a chemical change- change in color, odor or
taste, or release of gas. For example, when a green unripe banana ripens to become
yellow and sweet, a chemical reaction changes starch to sugar.

Exercises:
Classify each of the following changes as physical or chemical change. Justify your answer.
1. Crushing a dry leaf
2. Hammering a metal into thin sheet
3. Burning your chemistry book
4. Slicing a cake
5. Evaporation of water from a lake
6. A copper object turns green over time
7. A pan of water boils
8. A firecracker explodes
9. A rubber band breaks
10. Melting of some candle wax

Activity Title: Energy Changes in Matter

Learning Target: Toidentify the energy changes of matter.
Reference: Bayquen, Aristea V., Chemistry, pp. 51-55

All Changes of Matter Involve Energy being Tranfered and Transformed

 Energy always moves between the system and the surroundings during changes of matter.
System - the chemicals of interest
Surroundings -everything else (including the beaker and thermometer)
 Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be transferred from place to place and
transformed from type to type (Law of Conservation of Energy).

Exothermic change - heat moves out

the the system into the surroundings. The
surroundings get hotter.

Endothermic change – Heat moves into

the system from the surroundings, so the
surroundings gets colder!

Energy is the capacity or the ability to do work. Work is done every time we apply a force through some
distance.
Two basic types of energy:
1. Potential energy is the energy stored in an object or system.
2. kinetic energy is the energy of motion or one that can be used directly to do work. The potential energy
of the water at the top of the falls is converted into kinetic energy by the time it reaches the bottom.

Energy can be classified into several different forms:

a. Radiant Energy- energy is associated with light and is sometimes called electromagnetic radiation. It
occurs in such forms as television and radio waves, X-rays, and ultraviolet light.
b. Thermal Energy- sometimes called heat energy. An object becomes hotter when it is heated by an
energy source.
c. Mechanical Energy- energy that is due to the position and/or motion of an object. The bowling ball when
it is held in someone’s hand have potential energy. When they are put in motion, this potential energy
becomes kinetic energy.
d. Electrical Energy- the energy of electrons moving through a substance. If a connection is made between
the negative and positive terminals, electrons will flow from one terminal to other, resulting in an
electric current.
e. Chemical Energy- an energy stored in substances. Chemical changes allow this energy to be released and
converted to other forms of energy. When natural gas burns, energy is released as heat and light.
f. Nuclear Energy- energy released by either splitting atomic nuclei through the process of fission, or by
forcing the nuclei of atoms together through the process of fusion. The energy that makes the sun shine
comes from the fussion of hydrogen nuclei to make helium.
