Notes
Notes on Matter in our Surroundings
1. Matter- Matter is anything which occupies space and has mass is called matter. Air and water, sugar and
sand, hydrogen and oxygen etc. Matter is made up of very small tiny particles. Particles of matter have space
between them they attract each other.
2. Classification- On the basis of physical properties, matter is classified as solids, liquids and gases. On the
basis of chemical properties, matter is classified as elements, compounds and mixtures.
• Solids- Solids have strong molecular force and a definite shape and size solids can neither flow nor be
compressed.
• Liquids- Liquids have weak intermolecular flow and large intermolecular spaces. Liquids do not have a
definite shape but can flow.
• Gases- Gases have weak intermolecular flow, high compressibility, and no definite shape and volume.
3. Physical properties of matter- Matter is made up of particles which are very small in size. Everything around
us is made up of tiny pieces or particles. The particles of matter are constantly moving (they are in motion).The
particles which make up matter are atoms and molecules.
4. Interchange in states of matter- Matter can change its state in solid, liquid or gas depending upon the type of
matter.
5. Diffusion- The mixing of a substance with another substance due to the motion or movement of its particles is
called diffusion. It is one of the properties of materials. The diffusion of one substance into another substance
goes on until a uniform mixture is formed. Diffusion takes place in gases, liquids and solids.
6. Latent heat- Latent heat is the heat energy which has to be supplied to change the state of a
substance. Latent heat does not increase the temperature of a substance. But latent heat has to be supplied in
order to change the state of a substance. Latent heat can be of fusion or of vaporization.
7. Sublimation- The changing of a solid directly into vapours on heating and of vapours into solid on cooling, is
known as sublimation. When these solid substances are heated, their particles move quickly and they separate
completely to form vapor (or gas). Similarly when these vapor (or gas) is cooled, these particles slow down so
quickly that they become fixed and form a solid.
8. Evaporation- The process of conversion of a liquid into vapour (or gas) at its boiling point is called
evaporation. Some particles in liquid always have more kinetic energy than the others. So, even when a liquid is
well below its boiling point, some of its particles have enough energy to break the forces of attraction between
the particles and escape from the surface of the liquid in the form of vapour. Thus the fast moving particles of a
liquid are constantly escaping from the liquid to form vapor or gas. Temperature, surface area of liquid, humidity,
and wind speed are fators that affect evaporation. Evaporation causes cooling effect.

9. Effect of Change of Pressure: The physical state of matter can also be changed by increasing or decreasing
the pressure to it. Gases can be liquefied by applying pressure and lowering temperature. When high pressure is
applied to a gas, it gets compressed, and when in addition to it we lower its temperature, it gets converted into
liquid. So, we can also say that gases can be turned into liquids by compression and cooling.
