VISION AND MISSION

VISION

Saint Joseph Academy is a learning community of Christian believers

where integral and harmonious development is aimed to equip the youth
to become authentic Channels of Faith and zealous Bearers of Truth.

MISSION

As a Dominican institution of learning, Saint Joseph Academy

participates and shares in the evangelizing mission of the Catholic
Church, to uphold the Truth through a Christ-Centered Education, to
foster a deep love and devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary through the
Rosary, to promote intellectual and academic excellence by providing
varied opportunities and experiences for the development of a mature
person who personifies a Filipino identity and responsive to the church
and societal needs.

Be on your guard. Stand firm in faith. Be courageous. Be strong.

Introduction
Chemistry is important in a human being’s daily life−from drinking, cleaning, washing, bathing, cooking−as well
as in society and industry. Chemicals and chemical products have made life easier and have contributed to the
development of the various fields of science. Study of chemistry includes the mathematical tools and the common
laboratory instruments, which are just some of the main topic in this learning module. (Bayquen, Aristea V., Chemistry –
Exploring Life Through Science).

Content Standard
The learners demonstrate understanding of the properties of matter and its various forms; atomic structure and
formulas and names of compounds; the relationship of percent composition and chemical formula; the use of chemical
formulas to represent chemical reactions; the quantitative relationship of reactants and products in a chemical reaction;
the mathematical relationship between pressure, volume, and temperature of a gas; the partial pressures of gases in a
mixture; quantitative relationships of reactants and products in a gaseous reaction; the behavior and properties of gases at
the molecular level.

Performance Standard
The learners should be able to design using multimedia, demonstrations, or models, a representation or
simulation of any of the following: atomic structure, gas behavior, mass relationships in reactions.

Dominican Core Values Focus

 Joy
 Excellence

Before we start our lesson, let’s acknowledge God first. Let us pray.

PRAYER BEFORE STUDY by St. Thomas Aquinas

Lord, true source of light and wisdom,
give me a keen sense of understanding,
a retentive memory,
and the capacity to grasp things correctly.
Grant me the grace to be accurate in my exposition,
and the skill to express myself with thoroughness and clarity.
be with me at the start of my work.
Guide its progress and bring it to completion.
Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen .

Good Day!

In these days of pandemic, I, your teacher plays an important role in developing the intellectual,
spiritual, emotional and physical aspects of your life.

This pandemic COVID-19 brought us to this situation where the education system was changed. There
will be no face-to-face learning. It may be in online, modular or blended learning. Here in Saint Joseph
Academy, Inc., we adapt blended learning. As a Dominican teacher of a 21 st century learners, I will do my best
to go beyond the expectations of your parents and to you also. May we have a fruitful years together as we
expedite the school year 2021-2022 of the New Normal.

Welcome to Saint Joseph Academy, Inc.! Be a Responsible Dominican Learners!

MATTER IS ALL AROUND YOU

From the moment you were born, you get to experience the world in many ways by interacting with the different
things that surrounds you. All of these things you get to see, hear, smell, feel, and taste is MATTER. As you’ve probably
already learned, matter is anything that occupies space and has mass. It includes all the things you encounter in daily life,
like food and clothes, and even the moon of the stars that are light years away. Thus, everything is made universe is made
up of matter. (Quiming, Noel S., Sacramento, Jireh Joy D., General Chemistry 1).

Chapter 1
Matter and Its Properties
This chapter presents the physical states of matter−solid, liquid, and gas. The physical and chemical properties of
matter are also discussed. Also, presented in this chapter is the classification of matter, and includes a discussion of
mixtures, elements, and compounds.

At the end of the chapter, you should be able to answer the following questions:
 What are the physical states of matter?
 How can properties used to describe matter be classified?
 What are the ways to classify matter?

The arrangements of the particles of solid, liquid, and gas are shown in Figure 1.1. These arrangements give the
properties of solids, liquids, and gases.

Arrangement of the particles of (a) solid, (b) liquid, and (c) gas

Solid, a state of matter, has definite shape and volume. Solids have particles that are tightly packed, often in an
orderly manner, as shown in Figure 1.1 (a). Because of this arrangement of particles, a solid does not conform to the shape
of its container. Moreover, a solid is incompressible, that is, it cannot be pressed into a smaller volume. It also expands
only slightly when heated.

Liquid, another state of matter, has indefinite shape and definite volume. Liquids, unlike solids, have particles
that are not rigidly held in place and are less tightly packed, as shown in Figure 1.1 (b). Liquid particles are able to move
past one another; hence, liquid flow and take the shape of their containers. In Figure 1.2, different containers are shown.
This illustrates that the same volume of liquid may take different shapes depending on the shape of its container. Liquids
are almost incompressible and expand slightly when heated.

The same volume of water can take different shapes depending on the shape of the container
Gas, yet another state of matter, has indefinite shape and volume. A gas flows and takes the shape and fills the
entire volume of its container. In comparison to solids and liquids, gases have particles that are far apart from one another
as shown in Figure 1.1 (c). This is the reason why gases are compressible.

Have you heard of the word vapor? Are gas and vapor one and the same thing?

Gas and vapor are at times used interchangeably, but they mean different things. Gas refers to a substance that is
naturally in the gaseous state at room temperature. Oxygen is a gas because at room temperature, its natural state is
gaseous. On the other hand, vapor, refers to the gaseous state of a substance, hat is, a solid or a liquid at room
temperature. Steam is an example of a vapor because water exists as liquid at room temperature .

Plasma is considered as distinct fourth state of matter. It is a hot ionized gas with equal numbers of positively
charged electrons. The Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) is the fifth state of matter predicted by Satyendra Nath Bose and
Albert Einstein in 1924.
