Week 1: Matter and Its Properties: Learning Competencies

This document provides an overview of the key concepts to be covered in a unit on matter and its properties. The learning competencies focus on describing the particle arrangement and motion in different phases of matter, distinguishing between physical and chemical properties and intensive/extensive properties, and differentiating between pure substances, mixtures, elements and compounds. The learning outcomes are to discuss the differences between these concepts and identify/describe simple separation procedures. Key concepts defined include physical/chemical properties and changes, intensive/extensive properties, elements/compounds, and heterogeneous/homogeneous mixtures. Self-assessment questions are provided to test understanding.

WEEK 1 : MATTER AND ITS PROPERTIES

Learning Competencies
 Describe and/or make a representation of the arrangement, relative spacing, and relative
motion of the particles in each of the three phases of matter (STEM_GC11MP-Ia-b-2)
 Distinguish between physical and chemical properties and give examples
(STEM_GGC11-MP-Ia-b-3);
 Distinguish between extensive and intensive properties and give examples
(STEM_GGC11-MP-Ia-b-4)
 Differentiate between pure substances and mixtures (STEM_GGC11-MP-Ia-b-6);
 Differentiate between elements and compounds (STEM_GGC11-MP-Ia-b-7);

Learning Outcomes
1. Discuss the difference between:
a. Pure substances and mixtures
b. Elements and compound
2. Classify the properties of matter as:
a. Physical or chemical
b. Intensive or extensive; and
3. Identify and describe simple separation procedures.

Key Concepts

Physical and Chemical Properties


Physical property – characteristics that can be measured and observed without changing the
chemical makeup of the substance
Examples: color, melting point, boiling point, density, etc.
Physical change – a substance changes its physical appearance but does not change identity
changes in state (e.g., liquid to gas, solid to liquid) are all physical changes
Chemical property – any property that becomes evident during a chemical reaction
Examples: pH, corrosiveness, etc.
Chemical change (aka chemical reactions) – a substance is transformed into a chemically different
substance
Intensive properties are bulk properties, which means they do not depend on the amount of matter
that is present
Extensive properties do depend on the amount of matter that is present. An extensive property is
considered additive for subsystems.

Elements and Compounds


Pure substances have definite and consistent composition and are composed of elements or
compounds.
Element - substance that can’t be broken down into other substances by chemical means
Compound – substance formed from two or more chemical elements that are chemically bonded
together
Law of definite proportions- Pure compounds always contain exactly the same proportions of
elements by mass

Mixtures
Mixtures are combinations of two or more substances in which each substance keeps its chemical
identity. Mixtures can be separated into two or more substances.
Heterogeneous mixtures – mixture that is divided into different regions of appearance and
properties
results from components not being distributed uniformly
Homogenous mixtures – mixture that is uniform throughout without any visible separations
Solutions are homogenous mixtures, where a solid (the solute) is dissolved in a liquid (the solvent

Separation Of Mixtures

A mixture is composed of two or more types of matter that can be present in varying amounts and
can be physically separated by using methods that use physical properties to separate the
components of the mixture
Self-Assessment
Part 1: Properties of Matter
Use each of the terms below just once to complete the passage.

Matter is anything with (1)______________ and volume. A (2) ______________ is a form of


matter with a uniform and unchanging composition. Substances have specific, unchanging (3)
______________ that can be observed. Substances have both physical and chemical properties.
(4) ______________ properties can be observed without changing a substance’s chemical
composition. Color, hardness, and (5) ______________ are examples. Other properties cannot be
observed without changing the composition of a substance. These are called (6) ______________
properties. An example is the tendency of iron to form rust when exposed to air.

Label each property as either physical or chemical.


______________7. Chemical formula H2O
______________8. Forms green carbonate when exposed to moist air
______________9. Remains unchanged when in the presence of nitrogen
______________10. Colorless
______________11. Solid at normal temperatures and pressures
______________12. Ability to combine with another substance
______________13. Melting point
______________14. Liquid at normal temperatures and pressures
______________15. Boiling point is 100°C
______________16. Conducts electricity
______________17. Density is 1g/cm3

Label each drawing with one of these words: solid, liquid, gas.

For each statement below, write true or false.


______________21. All matter that we encounter in everyday life exists in one of three physical
forms.
______________22. A solid has definite shape and volume.
______________23. A liquid has a definite shape and takes on the volume of its container.
______________24. A gas has both the shape and the volume of its container.
______________25. The particles in a gas cannot be compressed into a smaller volume.
______________26. Liquids tend to contract when heated.
______________27. The particles in a solid are spaced far apart.
______________28. The words gas and vapor can be used interchangeably

Classify each of the properties listed below as extensive or intensive. Then classify each property
as physical or chemical. Write the word out to earn full credit.
Part II: Changes in Matter
What kinds of changes do these words indicate? Write each word under the correct heading. Use
each word only once.
Part III: Mixtures of Matter
Use the words below to complete the concept map.

Check the appropriate categories for the substances listed below. All substances will have a check
in more than one column.
Substance Heterogeneous Homogeneous Pure Solution Element Compound Mixture
