Properties of Matter

Chapter 2 Review Nature of Matter

Today's Objective

 Students will be able to demonstrate mastery of the nature of matter by review ideas to prepare for an assessment 

Describing Matter - Key Concepts

• Every form of matter has two kinds of properties - physical properties and chemical properties.

• Elements are the simplest substances.

• When elements are chemically combined, they form compounds having properties that are different from those of the uncombined elements.

• Each substance in a mixture keeps its individual properties. Also, the parts of a mixture are not combined in a set ratio.

Changes in Matter - Key Concepts

• A substance that undergoes a physical change is still the same substance after the change.

• Unlike physical change, chemical change produces new substances with properties different from those of original substances.

Energy and Matter- Key Concepts

• Forms of energy-related to changes in matter include chemical, electromagnetic, electrical, and thermal energy.

• During a chemical change, chemical energy may be changed to other forms of energy. Other forms of energy may also be changed to chemical energy.
