Chemistry I – Unit 3:Atoms, Molecules, Matter &

Properties

• Matter that has uniform, unchanging composition or make up from one sample to another. [p55]

Substance(s)

• An identifying characteristic that can be observed or measured without changing the substance’s composition. [p. 56]

________________Eg. – density, color, odor,

taste, hardness, melting point (mp), boiling point (bp), physical state of matter @ different temperatures – to name a few…

Substance(s)

PHYSICAL Property

• Physical properties that are dependent upon the AMOUNT of the substance present or available. [p. 56]

________________Eg. – Mass (depends on the

amount) of an object/substance; length, volume, weight…

• Physical properties that are Independent [of] the AMOUNT of the substance present or available. [p 56]

________________Eg. – Density (g/cmᶟ)… the

bigger the object the more water it displaces and yet the “ratio” of grams over volume doesn’t change. Color, MP, BP, FP,

• The ability of a substance to combine with –or change into – another substance.

• The contra-positive is true too; the Inability of a substance to combine with – or change into – another substance is ALSO considered to be a chemical property

Eg. – Steel wool (iron) in a capped test tube of N₂ gas will not react (chem property), but in O₂ gas it will “rust” (oxidize) or react.

Will form a green copper carbonate when in contact with moist (water carrying) air.

Reddish brown, shiny

D = 8.92 g/cm³

Will form new substances when combined with nitric acid and sulfuric acid.MP = 1,085 degrees C

Forms a deep blue solution when it comes in contact with ammonia.Good conductor of heat and electricity.BP = 2,570 degrees C

Easily formed into sheets (malleable) & drawn into wires (ductile)
