MATTER AND

ITS PROPERTIES
LESSON 1
 WHAT ARE THE
PARTICLES
COMPOSING
MATTER?
ATOM MOLECUL ION
S ES S
ATOMS – the smallest particle

MOLECULES – composed of

atoms
 WHAT ARE THE
THREE STATES OF
MATTER?
soli liqui ga
d d s
• A gas is made up of particles that are far
apart from each other, which can be pushed
closer towards each other;

• A solid is made up of particles which are

compact, so that it is no longer possible to
push these particles closer to each other.
 WHAT ARE THE
PROPERTIES OF
MATTER?

• In physical properties, no change in
composition takes place during the
determination or measurement of these
properties.
• In chemical properties, a change in
composition occurs during the
determination or measurement of these
• Extensive properties change their
value when the amount of matter or
substance is changed.
• Intensive properties do not change
their value when the amount of matter
is changed.
 Pure

Elemen Compoun Homogeno Heterogeno

• Pure substances are composed
of only one component

• Mixtures are composed of

several components.
• Elements are pure substances
that are made up of only one kind
of atoms.
• Compounds are pure substances
made up of two or more kinds of
atoms.
• A homogeneous mixture has a uniform
composition and exhibits the same
properties in different parts of the mixture.
• A heterogeneous mixture has a
nonuniform composition and its properties
vary in different parts of the mixture.
 WHAT ARE THE COMMON
WAYS TO SEPARATE THE
COMPONENTS OF A
MIXTURE?
Filtratio Distillatio

Separati
Decantati Sublimati
on
• Filtration: to separate a solid from a liquid in a
heterogeneous mixture using a filtering
membrane, like paper or cloth
• Distillation: to separate a liquid in a
homogeneous mixture
• Magnetic separation: to separate a magnetic
solid from a heterogeneous mixture
• Decantation: to separate a solid from a liquid in a
heterogeneous mixture based on gravity
• Sublimation: to separate a volatile solid from a
non-volatile solid
