CHEMISTRY:
A STUDY OF
MATTER
MS. VIA YSABEL M. MANACOP
DISCUSSANT
OBJECTIVES:

 Define matter
 Enumerate the different states of matter
 Describe the characteristics of the
different states of matter
CHEMISTRY

Is the field of study

concerned with the
characteristics,
composition, and
transformations of matter.
MATTER
Is anything that has mass and
occupies space.
It is also defined as anything
that occupies space and can be
perceived by one or more senses;
a physical body, physical
substance, or the universe as a
whole.
MATTER
Includes all naturally occurring things-
both living and non- living (that can be
seen such as plants, soil, and rocks), as
well as non- living (such as air and
bacteria).

It also includes materials that do not occur

naturally, that is, synthetic materials that
are produced in laboratory or industrial
setting using directly or indirectly
naturally-occurring starting materials.
HOW TO TELL SOMETHING
ISN’T MATTER
THERE ARE TWO SIMPLE TESTS YOU CAN PERFORM TO TELL IF
SOMETHING CONSISTS OF MATTER. IF IT FAILS EITHER TEST, ITS
NON- MATERIAL.

1. COULD THE PHENOMENON BE WEIGHED ON ANY SCALE?

MATTER HAS MASS.

2. DOES THE PHENOMENON OCCUPY A VOLUME? IN OTHER

WORDS , DOES IT TAKE UP SPACE?
Various forms of energy such
as heat, light and
electricity are not
considered to be matter.
MATTER
Matter can be studied
in two points of view:
macroscopic and
microscopic view
MACROSCOPIC
LEVEL
The macroscopic level
includes anything
seen with the naked
eye
MICROSCOPIC LEVEL
The microscopic
level includes
atoms and
molecules, things
that cannot be seen
with the naked eye.

PARTICLES
COMPOSING MATTER

ATOMS IONS
Smallest unit of Particles that have
matter that cannot gained or lost one or
be broken down more of their
chemically. valance electrons

MOLECULES
Groups of two or
more atoms that are
chemically bonded
STATES OF MATTER AND
THEIR PROPERTIES
SOLID
• In solids, particles are
tightly or closely packed.
• Solids have a fixed shape and
volume. Due to its rigid
nature, particles in solid can
only vibrate about their mean
position and cannot move.
• The rate of diffusion in solids
is very slow.
• Example: sugar, rock, wood etc.
LIQUID
In a liquid state of matter, particles
are less tightly packed as compared
to solids.
They can take the shape of the
container in which they are kept in.
liquids have fixed volume but no
fixed shape.
The rate of diffusion in liquids is
higher than that of solids. Force of
attraction between the particles is
weaker than solids
Example of liquid state of matter:
milk, water, blood, coffee, etc.
GAS
In gases, particles are far apart from each
other.
Force of attraction between particles in
liquids is negligible and they can move
freely.
Gases have neither fixed shape nor volume.
The rate of diffusion is higher than solids
and liquids.
The kinetic energy of particles is higher
than solids and liquids
An example of gases: air, helium, nitrogen
etc.
PLASMA
Plasma is not so generally seen
form of matter.
It is made up of electrically-
charged particles, hot ionized
gas where electrons break free.
Plasma consists of particles
with extremely high kinetic
energy. Electric fields and
magnetic fields strongly
influence plasma.
Examples of plasma: lightning,
solar wind, stars including the
sun, tail of a comet etc.
BOSE- EINSTEIN CONDENSATE

It is a state of matter of a dilute gas of bosons

cooled to temperatures close to absolute zero,
or the lower limit of the thermodynamic scale.
It is a state of matter that is super cooled
such that the atoms become super passive
and super cold and behave like a wave that
are naturally attracted to each other.
BOSE- EINSTEIN
CONDENSATE

It was predicted by Satyendra

Nath Bose and Albert Einstein
in 1924- 1925. However, it was
only in 1995 when two
physicists from Stanford
University, Eric Cornell and
Carl Wieman successfully
synthesized it in a laboratory,
proving the predictions of
Bose and Einstein after 70
years.
FERMIONIC CONDENSATE

It is a new discovery of
Deborah Jin, a physicist from
the University of Colorado in
2003.
Fermionic condensates are
also atoms that merge at super
low temperatures to form a
single object that behaves like
a wave.
 You are LIVING
You occupy SPACE
You have a MASS…

YOU MATTER!
