CHEMISTRY Class - IX

Chapter-1
MATTER IN OUR SURROUNDINGS
Learning Objectives;
Students will be able to
1. Define matter and explain characteristics of its
particle.
2. Differentiate between three states of matter.
3. Explain diffusion ant cite examples from day to day
life.
4. Explian the changes of physical states of matter on
change of temperature and pressure.
5. They will be able to explain evaporation and list the
factors which affect its rate.
Boiling point can also be defined as the temperature at which vapour pressure of
the liquid becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure
  
Matter can change from one form to other form i.e from solids to liquids to gases.

The phenomenon of                                                                                                            

the change of matter from one state to another and back to original state is
known as interconversion of the sates of matter.

Matter can be changed from one state to another by changing temperature or pressure.
