CLASSIFICATIONS OF
MATTER
 States of Matter
 Solid: physical state
characterized by a definite shape
and a definite volume
 Liquid: physical state
characterized by an indefinite
shape and a definite volume
 Gas: physical state characterized
by an indefinite shape and an
indefinite volume

CLASSIFICATIONS STATES OF MATTER
OF MATTER

CLASSIFICATIONS
OF MATTER
 Composition of Matter
 Pure substance: has only
one component
 Element: pure substance
that generally cannot be
changed into a simpler
form of matter
 Compound: substance
resulting from the
combination of two or
more elements in a
definite, reproducible way

CLASSIFICATIONS
OF MATTER
 Composition of Matter
 Mixture: combination of two
or more pure substances in
which each substances
retains its own identity
 Heterogenous Mixture: a
mixture that contains visibly
different phases, each of
which has different properties.
 Homogeneous Mixture: a
mixture that contains only one
visibly distinct phase, which
has uniform properties
throughout.

CLASSIFICATIONS OF MATTER

CLASSIFICATIONS OF MATTER

 PHYSICAL PROPERTY
 can be observed or measured without changing the
composition or identity of a substance
 e.g., melting point, boiling point, color, physical state
(solid, liquid, gas)
 classified according to whether they depend on the size of
PROPERTIES OF the sample: INTENSIVE AND EXTENSIVE PROPERTIES
MATTER  Intensive Property: independent of the quantity of the
substance, e.g., melting point and boiling point
 Extensive Property: depends on the quantity of a substance,
e.g., mass and volume
 Is temperature an intensive or extensive property?
 Pure water freezes at 0°C. Is this an intensive or
extensive property? Why?

 CHEMICAL PROPERTY
 result in a change in
composition and can be
observed only through
chemical reactions

stability, flammability,
coordination number,
reactivity, possible
chemical bonds, enthalpy

SIGNIFICANT
FIGURES
SCIENTIFIC
NOTATION

SIGNIFICANT FIGURES
 Significant figures: information-bearing figures in a number
 Guidelines for the determination of the number of significant

figures in a measured quantity:
 In any measurement, all nonzero digits are significant.
 Zeros may or may not be significant because zeros can be used in the
following situations:
 Leading zeros, those at the beginning of a number, are never significant.
 Confined zeros, those between non-zero digits, are always significant.
 Trailing zeros, those at the end of a number, are significant if a decimal

point is present in the number.
 Trailing zeros, those at the end of a number, are not significant if the
number lacks an explicitly shown decimal point.

SIGNIFICANT FIGURES
 Give the significant figures present.

 5623.00
 0.0031
 97,200
 637

SIGNIFICANT FIGURES
 Give the number of significant figures present.

 727.23
 0.1031
 47,230
 637,000,000

SCIENTIFIC NOTATION
 involves the representation of a number that

is greater than 1 and less than 10 which is
multiplied by 10 raised to the power of a
whole number
 a numerical system in which numbers are
expressed in the form A x 10n,
 A, coefficient
 10n, exponential term

CONVERTING FROM DECIMAL TO SCIENTIFIC NOTATION
 The procedure for converting a number

from decimal notation to scientific
notation has two parts.
 The decimal point in the decimal number is
moved to the right of the first non-zero digit.
 The exponent for the exponential term is
equal to the number of places the decimal
point has been moved.
 The exponent is positive if the original
decimal number is 10 or greater.
 The exponent is negative if the original
decimal number is less than 1.

ACCURACY AND
PRECISION
CHAPTER 1: CHEMISTRY 37 9/24/2022

 closeness of agreement between the actual value and
Accuracy measured value
 quantified by getting the mean of the test results

 closeness of agreement between a series of
measurements multiple samplings of the same
homogeneous sample under prescribed condition
Precision  usually expressed as the standard deviation or
relative standard deviation of a series of
measurements

 Reduce 9876 milligrams to grams.
 Reduce 85 micrometers to centimeters.
 Reduce 2.525 liters to microliters.

 In health care in general, the denominations most
used differ by 1000 or by a factor of 3 decimal places.
Thus, on the decimal scale, a 3-place decimal point
shift, left to right or right to left, will yield most used
denominations.
