Concept Map of Matter - Vocabs

1. Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass, volume and weight. It can exist in solid, liquid, gas or plasma phases depending on the compactness of the particles. 2. Matter is classified as either pure substances like elements and compounds or mixtures. Elements are made of only one type of atom while compounds are combinations of two or more elements. 3. Mixtures can be either homogeneous, exhibiting a single phase like solutions, or heterogeneous with distinct phases like suspensions and colloids.

Concept Map of Matter

Matter-anything that occupies space and has mass, volume and weight. Matter is classified as follows.

I. According to compactness / arrangement of particles (Phases)


A. Solid – molecules are compact. It has definite size, shape and volume.
B. Liquid – molecules are less compact and has no definite size and shape but has definite volume
C. Gas - molecules are least compact and has no definite size, shape and volume
D. Plasma – similar to gas except that its particles are highly ionized (charged).
II. According to composition
A. Pure Substance- pure substance is any matter that cannot be separated to its constituents by
physical means.
1. Element – is a pure substance that is made up of only one kind of atom. There are 116 named
elements in the modern Periodic Table of Elements.
a. Metals – elements that exhibits electrical and heat conductivity, high melting point,
luster and malleability. Examples are iron (Fe), Silver (Ag), Gold (Au), Lead
(Pb), Aluminum (Al), Mercury (Hg), Copper (Cu) and Zinc (Z).
b. Metalloids – elements that exhibit properties that are intermediate of metals and non-
metals. Examples are Silicon (Si) and Germanium (Ge).
c. Non-metals – elements that are poor conductor of heat and electricity, low melting
points and are brittle. Examples are Sulfur (S), Carbon (C), Oxygen (O)
and Chlorine (Cl).
2. Compound – compounds are the combination of two or more elements. Their properties are
totally different from the properties of the constituent elements.
a. Compounds can be classified as to their origin.
i. Organic – compounds of carbon and hydrogen, and those of carbon and oxygen with
other elements like oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur. Examples are glucose (C 6H12O6),
methane (CH4).
Biodegradable – matter that are easily broken down into simpler substance by the action
of living organisms. Organic matters are biodegradable.
ii. Inorganic - compounds that contain no carbon, excluding the oxides of carbon, carbon
disulfide, cyanides, and their associated acids and salts

Non-Biodegradable – compounds that takes a very long time to disintegrate into simpler
Substances. Examples are waste plastics and Styrofoam.
b. Compounds can also be classified according to alkalinity or acidity as follows.
i. Acid – compounds that having a pH value of less than 7.0. It tastes sour and turns blue
litmus paper to red. Examples are juices from citrus fruits, carbonic acid, sulfuric acid and
vinegar.
ii. Base – compounds having a pH value of more than 7.0. It tastes bitter and turns red
litmus paper to blue. Examples are tonic water, soaps and detergents containing sodium
hydroxide.
iii. Salt – compounds having a pH of 7.0 and are formed from the reaction of an acid and
a base. They are made up of a pair of metal and non-metal.
iv. Oxide – compound containing an oxygen and a metal. Examples are rust or ferrous
oxide (FeO2) and magnesium oxide (MgO),

B. Mixture – is a physical combination of substances that can be separated by physical means. They are
classified according to the number of phases or layers formed.
1. Homogenous – a mixture that exhibits single phase. A solution is a homogenous phase.
Solution – mixture of single phase and whose molecules or ions are uniformly mixed.
a. Solute – the substance that is dissolved in a solution
b. Solvent – the dissolving medium of a solution.
Examples are sugar (solute) dissolved in water (solvent), alcohol (solute) in water
(solvent) and zinc (solute) and copper (solvent) in brass materials.
2. Heterogeneous – mixture that exhibits at least two phases or layers.
a. Suspension – particles are highly distinguished from the medium and usually settle at
the bottom forming layers. Examples are syrup, soil and water, and juice drinks.
b. Colloids – particles are not seen by the naked eye but are distinguished under electron
microscope but they do not form layers since particles do not settle. Examples are
mayonnaise, air and foams.
