Lesson I

What aÍepropertiesof matter? ffi

AII things around us are made with just a few kinds of matter.Each kind of matter has its own set of properties.

ElementsThere ore more thon 100 bosic kinds of motter, colled

elements. Elements ore the bosic building blocks of motte¡.

Elements combine to moke up oll other kinds of motter.Elements connot be broken into simpler substonces with

ordinory physicol or chemicol processes.

Only o few elements, such os gold, ore found in noture inpure form. Most elements ore combined to form the things

oround us. For exomple, rust is o combinotion of iron ondoxygen. Living ond nonliving things ore mode of iust o few

elements combined in mony woys.

Properties of ElementsEoch element hos its own chemicol ond physicol properties.

You con use these properties to identify eoch element. Chemicolproperties describe how o mqteriol chonges into othermoteriols. Physicol properties con be meosured without

chonging the moteriol. Physicol properties include on object's

moss, volume, color, odor, ond phose of room temperoture.

Physicol properties con be observed, described, ond meosured

with tools such os rulers, microscopes, thermometers, scoles,

ond bolonces.More than I of the elements ore colled metols. Metols hove

the physicol properties ofbeing shiny, bendoble, ond oble to

conduct heot energy ond electricity well.

Weight ond MqssWeight is o meosure of the pull of grovity on

on object. Spring scoles meosure on oblect's weight. Aspring scole hos o spring thot stretches or is squeezedtogether when you weigh on obiect. The omount thotthe spring's length chonges tells the obiect's weight.If on object is too lorge to hong from o scole, you conodd up the weights.of oll the obiect's ports. The totolweight of the ports olwoys equols the weight of thewhole obiect.

Weight chonges when the pull of grovity chonges. Grovityis not the some everywhere on Eorth. For exomple, the pull ofgrovity dec¡eoses slightly os on obiect is Iifted to the top of omountoin. Therefore, the obiect's weight becomes o little less.

Moss is the omount of motter in on object. The omountof moss offects the weight of on obiect, but moss is not thesome os weight. Moving on obiect to the top of o mountoindoes not chonge the omount of motter in on object. Its mossstoys the some. Moss is meosured by using o bolonce, oftenusing units of groms, milligroms, or kilogroms. To find moss,on obiect is ploced on one side of the bolonce. Known mossesore ploced on the other side. When the two sides bolonceeoch other, the totol moss of oll the known mosses equols theobiect's moss.

VolumeVolume is the omount of spoce thot on obiect tokes up.

Cubic units ore used for volume. You con find the volumeof o regulor box by meosuring ond multiplying its length,width, ond height. You con write o formulo using V forvolume, L for length, W for width, ond H for height. Theforrnulo for finding the volume of o box is V : L x W X H.

You con use o groduoted cylinder to find the volume ofo liquid. You con olso use o groduoted cylinder to meosurethe volume of o solid obiect thot ñts in the cylinder ondsinks in woter. First, put o meosured omount of woter in thecylinder. Then put the obiect into the woter. Reod the newvolume. The difference between the t¡,vo volumes is thevolume of the obiect.

By boloncing lhe ioy corwiih known mosses, youcon meosure the cor'smoss io be 8 groms.

Density ond BuoyoncyDensity is o meosure of the omount of motter

in o given volume. To find on obiect's density,divide the obiect's moss by its volume (D : +).For exomple, you could find the density of thecor on the previous poge by dividing its moss,8 groms, by its volume, 5 cubic centimeters. Thedensity is 1.6 groms per cubic centimeter.

Density is o physicol property of o substonce.Density is the some for o substonce no motterhow much of the substonce is meosured. Forexomple, iron will olwoys hove o density ofabout 7.9 groms per cubic centimeter, no motterhow lorge o piece of iron is meosured.

Flooting or SinkingAn object is buoyont if it floots. Buoyoncy is on importont

propefty in boots or bolloons. You olso wont o life jocket to floot

ond on onchor to sink. You would use different moteriols for eoch.

Whether o certoin moteriol floots in a liquid depends on the

densities of both the moteriol ond the liquid. If the obiect's density

is less thon the liquid's density, it will floot. If the object's density

is greoter thon the liquid's density, it will sink.The chort on the previous poge shows thot fresh woter hos o density

of obout 1 grom per milliliter. Notice thot in the chort, moteriols thot

you expect to sink in woter, such os cement ond iron, ore more dense

thon woter. Moteriols thot floot in woter, such os pinewood ond cork,

hove o density less thon 1 grom per cubic centimeter.

Oceon woter hos dissolved solts ond other moteriols. Becouse of

this, oceon woter is more dense thon fresh woter. Its density depends

on how much moteriol is dissolved in it.

Woter is o solid when it's frozen os ice. Woter is o liquidin the oceons. In the oir, woter is o gos. These three formsore colled phoses, or stotes, of motter. The stote of omoteriol ot room temperoture is o physicol property.

The phose of woter or ony moteriol is due to themotions ond orrangements of its porticles-its moleculesor otoms. The porticles ore olwoys moving.

Solids hove o deñnite shope ond volume. The porticlesof o solid vibrote in ploce. In most solids, the porticlesore very close together.

As o solid worms up, it melts. Forces hold the porticlesfoirly close to one onother, but they con move obout.Therefore, liquids do not hove their own shope. Theytoke on the shope of their contoiner. Since the forceskeep the porticles close to one onother, liquids hoveo definite volume.

As liquids get colder ond freeze, theirporticles slow down ond vibrote in ploce.A moteriol freezes of the some temperoturec¡t which it melts. This temperoture iscolled the freezing point or melting point.For exomple, fresh woter freezes when itstemperoture lowers to 0'C. Ice melts whenits temperoture rises to 0'C ond more heotis odded.

l iquids qnd GosesCompored to solids ond liquids, porticles of o gos ore

very for oport. Gos porticles generolly do not offect oneonother unless they collide os they move. If o gas is plocedin o contoiner with no other goses, the porticles will spreodout evenly throughout the contoiner. Therefore, o gosdoes not hove o definite shope or volume. Goses con besqueezed much more thon solids or liquids. This is becousethere is more spoce between gos porticles.

Evoporofing qnd BoilingEvaporotion occurs when

porticles leove o liquid ondbecome o gos. Porticles evoporotefrom the surfoce of o liquid whenthey move upword with enoughspeed. This is how woter puddlesevoporote.

If the temperoture of o liquid ishigh enough, porticles throughoutthe liquid will evoporote too. Asgos porticles move quickly upwordthrough the liquid, bubbles ofgos form under the surfoce ofthe liquid. The boiling point of oIiquid is the temperoture ot whichIiquid turns into gos bubbles.

The boiling point is o physicolproperty of o liquid. The boilingpoint will be the some for o liquidno motter how much is beingheated. Different liquids hovedifferent boiling points. The boilingpoint con be used to help tell whoton unknown liouid is.

When o liquid tums into o gos, the gos tokes up morespoce. This does not meon thot goses hove more motterthon liquids. There iust is more spoce between the porticlesof o gos thon between the porticles of o liquid.

At the boiling point,liquid under thesurfoce turns inlogos. The gos formsbubbles thot rise tothe surfoce. liquidolso turns fo o gosot the sufoce.

Lesson 3

How are chemicalproperties used?

Chemical and physical properties are helpful in manyways. They can be used to separate mixtures and to helpidentifu materials.

Seporoting MixturesSubstonces in some mixtures con be seporoted by

physicol meons. As you reod in Chopter 11, you conseporote solt ond pepper becouse they hove differentphysicol properties. Substonces moy olso hove differentchemical properties thot con be used to seporote themfrom one onother.

Scientists who study dinosour fossils ond other fossilsuse chemicol properties to seporote mixtures. Fossils oreoften scottered throughout limestone. It con be difficultto chip limestone off o fossil without domoging thefossil. However, limestone con be dissolved by vinegor.A bubbling reoction occurs. Fossils, which ore mode ofo different kind of rock, do notreoct with vinegor os quickly.So scientists sometimes usevineoor or similor chemicolsto seporote fossils from rock.

Seporoting Metols from Ores" Ores ore rocks thot include metols combinedwith other substonces. People rely on chemistry toreleose metols from their ores. For example, ironore contoins iron oxide. Heoting iron ore in a hotfurnoce with solid corbon ollows the iron toseporote from the oxygen in the ore. The result ispure iron ond corbon dioxide. This process worksbecouse iron hos the chemicol property of bondingto oxygen less strongly thon to corbon.

In this blost furnoce, iron isseporoted from iron ore. Theprocess relies on the differentchemicol properties of ftesubstonces heo¡ed here.

Sometimes chemicol properties con be used toseporote elements from solutions. For exomple, leodcon be token out of o solution thot contoins woter,leod, ond other moteriols. The solution is poured intoo contoiner with o second solution thot contoins iodine.Both solutions ore cleor liquids. As soon os the solutionsmix, the leod reocts with the iodine.

Idenrifying SubstqncesScientists use physicol properties, such os density, to

identify substonces. They can use chemicol properties forthis purpose, os well. The pictures below show one woyscientists do this.

Acids ond boses ore two common types of substonces.Lemon iuice ond vinegor ore ocids. Household cleoners moycontoin bases. Strong ocids or boses will reoct with othermoteriols more eosily thon weok ocids ond boses do.

Mony moteriols you use every doy come from noture. Forinstonce, the cotton in ieons comes from o plont. The woolin o sweoter is sheep's hoir. But some ordinory moteriols orenot found in noture. Scientists invented them. For exomple,nylon in iockets ond other clothing, plostics in toys ond monyother obiects, ond even concrete in sidewolks ond roods oreoll moteriols thot people mode.

Mqteriqls for Everydqy UseIn the 1800s, scientists begon working to moke o fiber to

use insteod of silk. Silk is strong, soft, smooth, and comfortobleto weqr. To make silk though, people hod to get threods fromsilkworm cocoons. Thot is one reoson silk hos been expensive.In the 1880s o French scientist mode o soft, shiny fiber thatwos like silk. The only problem wos thot it eosily burst intoflomes. In the mid-1930s, on Americon chemist reochedsuccess. His silklike fobric, colled nylon, wos perfect forstockings. It soon wos used for moking ropes, nets, fishingline, ond mony fobrics.

Nylon is o polymer-o lorge molecule mode of monyidenücol smoller units connected together. In nylon, eoch unitis mode of six corbon otoms, seven hydrogen otoms, ond onenitrogen otom. A polymer moy hove thousonds or millionsof units in o single choin.

One kind of plostic molecule hoso long choin of corbon otoms, eoch with two hydrogen otoms.Mony plostics ore mode with chemicols found in petroleum.Plostics ore usefuI becouse they ore lightweight ond long-losting. They ore olso foirly cheop to moke.

What are forces?There are many kinds of pushes and pulls around you.

These pushes and pulls can cause objects to change theirvelocities.

Pushes ond PullsA force is o push or pull thot octs on on obiect. When

one obiect pushes or pulls onother oblect, the first obiectis exerting o force on the second one. Forces con moke omoving obiect speed up, slow down, or chonge direction.

Forces hove both mognitude ond direction. Themognitude of o force is how strong the force is.Mognitude is meqsured in units colled newtons (N). Thedirection of o force con be described by telling whichwoy the force is octing. For exomple, o medium-sizedopple held in your outstreched hond exerts o downwordforce with o mognitude of obout 1 newton.

GrovityEvery obiect in the universe exerts o grovitotionol pull

on every other obiect. But only the grovity of o lorgeobiect such os Eorth is strong enough to be felt. Eorth'sgrovity pulls other obiects toword its center withoutever touching them. Pendulums swing, opples foll, ondortiflciol sotellites stoy in orbit becouse of Eorth's grovity.

An obiect's weight is the omount of grovitotiono-force between it ond Eorth. This force depends on theobject's moss ond Eorth's moss. It olso depends onEorth's size ond how for gbove Eorth the obiect is. Ifyou fly in on oirliner, your weight is o little less. If ypuwent to onother plonet, your weight would olso chonge.The toble on the next poge shows how much on objectwould weigh on some other plonets if its weight on Eorthis 100 newtons.

The mognetic force is greotest ot o mognet's poles. The polesofo horseshoe mognet ore ot the two ends. The poles ofo bormognet ore ot either end. Every mognet hos o north p.ole ondo south pole.

Mognets will strongly pull on objects mode of iron, cobolt,nickel, ond godotrinium. Mognets will olso exert forces on othermognets. The north pole of one mognet will ottroct the southpole of onother mognet. The north poles of two mognets willpush owoy from eoch other. The south poles of two mognetswill oct in the some woy.

If on obiect goins electrons, the obiect willbe negotively chorged. If the oblect loses electrons,it will be positively chorged. Why would on objectget o positive chorge if it loses electrons?

Electrons often move from one obiect toonother when the obiects ore rubbed together.When silk ond gloss ore rubbed together,electrons will move from the gloss to the silk.The rubber comb con goin o negotive chorgefrom your hoir.

Force x Distonce : Work

Work is meosured in joules.One ioule (f) is the omount of workdone when o force of 1 newton (N)moves on obiect o distonce of 1 meter (m).

If the force opplied to on objectdoes not moke the obiect move,then no work hos been done. Work isdone only when the obiect moves otIeost portly in the some direction inwhich the force is opplied. Holdingon object in ploce con require o force,but since the obiect does not move,no work is done.

When equol forces oct on on obiect in opposite direcüons,the forces ore bolonced. Then the net force is zero. Boloncedforces do not chonge the woy on obiect moves.
