INTRODUCTORY DEFINITIONS
1.MATTER
- Anything having mass and volume
2.MASS
- The amount of matter in an object
3.WEIGHT
- The pull of gravity on an object
4.VOLUME
- The space an object occupies
- UNITS; L, dm3, mL, cm3
5.STATE OF MATTER
- SOLID, LIQUID, and GAS
➢ COMPOSITION: What the matter is made of
COPPER: Many CU ATOMS WATER: Many groups of H’S and 1 O
➢ PROPERTIES: Describe the matter
- What it looks like, smells like, its mass, temp…and etc.
- How it behaves
➢ ATOM
- A basic building block of matter
Elements
1.MONOATOMIC
- Elements consist of unbonded “like” atoms
EXAMPLE: Fe, Al, Cu He
2.POLYATOMIC
- Elements consist of several “like” atoms bonded together
❖ DIATOMIC ELEMENTS:
➢ Allotropes
- different forms of the same element in the same state of matter
➢ MOLECULE
- A neutral group of bonded atoms
➢ Compounds
- Contain two or more different types of atoms
- Have properties that are different from those of their constant elements
- Atoms can be altered by nuclear means
- Molecules can be altered by chemical means
Classifying Matter
1. Pure substances
- Have a fixed composition.
- Have fixed properties (Pure substances have a chemical formula)
A.ELEMENTS
B.COMPOUNDS
2. Mixtures (two or more substances mixed together)
- Have varying composition.
- Have varying properties
- The substances are NOT chemically bonded, and the retain individual
properties
➢ MIXTURE
- Is composed of two or more types of matter that can be present
❖ COMPONENTS OF MIXTURE
1.EVAPORATION
- Can be used as a separation method to separate components of mixture
with a dissolved solid and liquid.
2.DECANTATION
- For mixtures of liquid and heavy insoluble solids, is the appropriate
method to use. Sand -water mixtures are carried out by gently pouring
the water out of the container.
3.SUBLIMATION
- Volatile solids may be separated from nonvolatile substances.
4.DISTILLATION
- Is the separation technique used to separate components of a liquid
mixture by a process of heating and cooling.
5.FILTRATION
- Is the process of separating suspended a solid matter from a liquid
6.CHROMATOGRAPHY
- Is the method used to separate components of different degrees of
solubility using a moving and a stationary liquid.
7.MAGNETISM
- Magnets are normally used to remove magnetic solids from the
nonmagnetic components.
8.CENTRIFUGATION
- Spin sample very rapidly: denser materials go to bottom(outside)
- Separate blood into serum and plasma.
➢ Serum - (clear)
➢ Plasma - (contains of red blood cells)
1.PRODUCT
- Is a substance produced during a natural, chemical or manufacturing
process for the consumers.
2.LABELING
- Is the main method of communication between manufacturers and the
uses of the product.
3.PRODUCT NAME
- It refers to the discipline of deciding what a product will be called.
4.INGREDIENTS STATEMENT
- It is the mandatory section for packaged goods in most international
standards.
5.DIRECTION FOR USE
- It is the guidance or supervision that the consumers will use for the
product.
6.SIGNAL WORDS
- It is found on the product labels and they describe the acute(short tem)
toxicity of the product.
7.PHYSICAL QUANTITY OF A PRODUCT
- It pertains to the physical property of a product in terms of its physical
attributes.
8.PRODUCT PURPOSE
- It is the description or the main purpose of the product.
9.MANUFACTURER
- It refers to the company that uses raw materials and employee
labor hours to create finished products.
