Structure And Properties Of Matter

Quantifying matter

Measurement: Derived Units

В 1960 году Генеральная конференция по мерам и весам предложила Международную систему единиц, или систему СИ, для единиц измерения. Эта система определяет семь основных единиц обозначения длины, массы, времени, температуры, количества вещества, электрического тока и силы света. И называются условными единицами измерения.Единицы измерения, которые представляют собой комбинацию одной или нескольких базовых единиц, известны как производные единицы. Две из наиболее часто используемых производных единиц в химии это объем и плотность. Объем это мера пространства, занимаемого объектом.Единица измерения объема в системе СИ определяется базовой единицей длины метром. Таким образом, любая единица длины, если ее возвести в куб или в третью степень, становится единицей объема. Например, кубический метр, кубический сантиметр и кубический миллиметр это все единицы объема.С другой стороны, плотность это отношение массы вещества к его объему. Таким образом, единицы плотности определяются базовыми единицами массы и длины. Единица измерения плотности в системе СИ килограмм на кубический метр.Часто для обозначения плотности твердых тел и жидкостей используются граммы на кубический сантиметр, а для газов граммы на литр. Условные и производные измерения очень полезны при определении различных свойств материи. Эти свойства можно условно разделить на две группы:интенсивные и экстенсивные.Когда свойство не зависит от количества присутствующего вещества, его называют интенсивным свойством. Температура, плотность, температура кипения и плавления, запах и твердость являются примерами интенсивных свойств. Плотность олова, например, составляет 7, 3 грамма на кубический сантиметр и она остается неизменной, независимо от того, есть ли у нас грамм или килограмм олова.Следовательно, плотность 7, 3 грамма на кубический сантиметр вещества может использоваться для идентификации его как олова. Фактически, все интенсивные свойства могут быть использованы для определения вещества, поскольку эти характеристики не меняются в зависимости от количества или состояния образца. С другой стороны, экстенсивное свойство зависит от количества присутствующего вещества.Масса, объем и длина являются экстенсивными свойствами. Экстенсивные свойства меняются в зависимости от размера образца или условий. Это делает их плохим инструментом для определения веществ.Например, масса образца не поможет определить его как олово.

Измерения: производные единицы

Международная система единиц измерения или система СИ, по международному соглашению, имеет фиксированные единицы измерения для семи основных физических величин: длины, массы, времени, температуры, электрического тока, количества вещества и светимости. Эти единицы называются основными единицами СИ. 
 
 Единицы измерения, образованные из основных единиц СИ с помощью математических уравнений, называются производными единицами измерения СИ. Например, отношение единицы СИ к расстоянию (метр; м) и единицы СИ для времени (секунда; с) дает единицу СИ для скорости (метр в секунду; м/с). Другим распространенным способом выражения скорости объекта является использование миль в час (миль/час). Мили в час также считаются производной единицей, даже если основные единицы не являются единицами СИ. В целом, любая производная единица представляет собой комбинацию других единиц. 
 
 <h4>Производные единицы: объем и плотность </h4>
 
 Объем — количественная характеристика пространства, занимаемого объектом. Единица длины определяет единицу объема.  
 
 <img alt=""Eq1"" src=""https://www.jove.com/files/core/CDNSource/lessons/1011/1011_Equations-01v3.png"" style=""height: 40px;"" />
 
 Производная единица объема СИ — кубический метр (м3), куб с ребром длиной ровно один метр. Чтобы отмерить кубический метр воды, мы могли бы построить кубический ящик с длинами ребер ровно один метр. В этом ящике будет содержаться кубический метр воды или любого другого вещества.  
 
 Другими распространенными единицами объема являются кубический дециметр (дм3) и кубический сантиметр (см3). Куб с длиной ребра ровно в один дециметр (или 10 см) содержит объем в один кубический дециметр (1 дм3 или 1000 см3). Литр (L) — это более распространенное название кубического дециметра. Один литр равен 1000 миллилитров, а один миллилитр равен 1 кубическому сантиметру. 
 
 <img alt=""Eq2"" src=""https://www.jove.com/files/core/CDNSource/lessons/1011/1011_Equations-02v3.png"" style=""height: 40px;"" />
 
 Плотность вещества - это отношение массы вещества к его объему  
 
 <img alt=""Eq3"" src=""https://www.jove.com/files/core/CDNSource/lessons/1011/1011_Equations-03v3.png"" style=""height: 40px;"" />
 
 Таким образом, единицы плотности определяются единицами массы и длины (объем = длина3). Так как единица измерения массы СИ - килограмм (кг), а объема - кубический метр (м3), производная единица измерения плотности СИ, - килограмм на кубический метр (кг/м3).  
 
 Другая распространенная единица, грамм на кубический сантиметр (г/см3) часто используется для плотности твердых веществ и жидкостей, а грамм на литр (г/л) - для газов.  
 
 <h4>Экстенсивные и интенсивные свойства вещества </h4>
 
 Единица измерения выражает магнитуду физической величины, которая используется для определения физического свойства материи. Физические свойства могут быть экстенсивными или интенсивными. Если свойство зависит от количества вещества, то это экстенсивное свойство. К экстенсивным свойствам относятся масса, вес и объем. Например, литр молока имеет большую массу, чем чашка молока. Величина экстенсивного свойства прямо пропорциональна количеству рассматриваемого вещества. Напротив, если свойство не зависит от количества вещества, то это интенсивное свойство. Температура является примером интенсивного свойства. Если один литр молока и одна чашка молока оба имеют температуру 20 °C, их температура остается на уровне 20 °C, когда они объединяются. Рассмотрим другой пример, чтобы понять различные, но связанные свойства тепла и температуры. Капелька горячего масла для жарки, брызнувшая на руку, вызывает кратковременный незначительный дискомфорт, а если бы вы пролили на себя горшок с горячим маслом , это вызывало бы серьезные ожоги. И капля масла, и горшок масла имеют одинаковую температуру (интенсивное свойство), но в горшке с маслом содержится гораздо больше тепла (экстенсивное свойство).

ОСНОВНЫЕ ТЕРМИНЫ И ПОНЯТИЯ

si units, density, and property types

SI units and derived units help describe physical properties in chemistry. The International System of Units, or SI system, uses agreed-upon base units for seven fundamental properties: length, mass, time, temperature, electric current, amount of substance, and luminosity. Units made by combining these base units are called SI-derived units. Speed is one example. If distance is measured in meters and time in seconds, the derived unit for speed is meters per second, or m/s. Miles per hour is also a derived unit, even though it does not use SI base units.

Volume and density are common examples of derived units. Volume is the amount of space an object occupies, and its unit comes from length. The SI-derived unit of volume is the cubic meter, written as m3. A cube with edges exactly one meter long has a volume of one cubic meter. Other common volume units are the cubic decimeter, dm3, and the cubic centimeter, cm3. A cube with 10 cm edges has a volume of 1 dm3, which is also 1000 cm3. A liter, or L, is the common name for a cubic decimeter. One liter equals 1000 milliliters, and one milliliter equals 1 cubic centimeter.

Density is the ratio of mass to volume. Because volume depends on length cubed, the SI-derived unit for density is kilograms per cubic meter, or kg/m3. Scientists also often use grams per cubic centimeter, g/cm3, for solids and liquids. For gases, grams per liter, g/L, is common.

Physical properties can be extensive or intensive. An extensive property depends on the amount of matter present. Mass, weight, and volume are extensive properties. A liter of milk has more mass than a cup of milk because it contains more matter. The value of an extensive property changes in direct proportion to the amount of matter.

An intensive property does not depend on the amount of matter present. Temperature is one example. If one liter of milk and one cup of milk are both at 20 °C, they stay at 20 °C when combined. Heat and temperature are related but different. A drop of hot cooking oil and a pot of hot oil can have the same temperature, but the pot contains much more heat and can cause a severe burn.

scientific laws and theories

How Science Explains Laws and Theories

Scientific laws and scientific theories describe science in two different ways. A law is a concise verbal or mathematical statement that summarizes many experimental observations. It describes or predicts aspects of the natural world that stay the same under the same conditions. A scientific theory is different because it explains why natural events happen. It is a unifying principle that gives a well-supported and testable explanation for a broad set of observations. Strong theories are the...

the scientific method

How Scientists Test a Hypothesis

Chemistry uses the scientific method to turn observations into testable answers. Scientists begin by observing a phenomenon in the physical world and then asking a question about it. This process helps explain everyday chemistry through evidence. A question leads to a hypothesis, which is a tentative explanation for what is being observed. Scientists often use earlier research and published literature to shape that idea. A strong hypothesis must be testable, meaning it can be supported by...

physical and chemical properties of matter

physical-and-chemical-properties-of-matter

Distinguishing Physical and Chemical Changes

Matter can be identified by its properties, which are the features that help us tell one substance from another. These properties fall into two main groups: physical properties and chemical properties. Understanding the difference helps explain how matter changes. A physical property is a feature of matter that is not linked to a change in chemical composition. Examples include density, color, hardness, melting point, boiling point, and electrical conductivity. Some physical properties can be...

what is energy?

Energy Forms and Conservation

Energy is a property of matter that appears in many forms. On Earth, most energy starts with the Sun. Plants capture light energy from the Sun and use photosynthesis to turn it into chemical energy. That stored energy can then move through living things and materials in several ways. People get energy from plant foods, and wood or coal, which come from fossilized plants, can be burned to produce heat and electricity. Energy is defined as the ability to do work. Work happens when a force moves...

classifying matter by state

States of Matter and Their Properties

States of matter help describe how matter behaves in chemistry. Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. It is found everywhere, including air, water, soil, mountains, and even our bodies. The three common states on Earth are solid, liquid, and gas. A solid has a definite shape and a definite volume. Its particles, such as atoms or molecules, are packed very closely together and held in place by strong forces, so they only vibrate slightly. This tight arrangement makes solids...

measurement: standard units

Measurement: SI Units and Conversions

Measurement gives three kinds of information: a number, a unit, and an estimate of uncertainty. The number shows size or magnitude. The unit gives a standard for comparison. The uncertainty reflects possible error in the measurement. Numbers can be written in more than one way. A value may appear in decimal form or in scientific notation, which is also called exponential notation. For example, the maximum take-off weight of a Boeing 777-200ER airliner is 298,000 kilograms, or 2.98 × 10^5 kg. <br...

classifying matter by composition

Matter: Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures

Matter can be grouped by composition into pure substances and mixtures. A pure substance has a constant composition throughout and uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and the same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, no matter where it is isolated from. A mixture contains two or more kinds of matter in varying amounts. Its parts can be separated by physical changes, such as evaporation. The components keep their own...

If distance is measured in meters and time in seconds, the derived unit for speed is meters per second, or m/s. Miles per hour is...

dimensional analysis

Using Conversion Factors to Cancel Units

Dimensional analysis is a method for using conversion factors to cancel units and solve measurement problems. It is also called the factor label method. The main rule is that units must be treated the same way as the numbers attached to them. A conversion factor is a ratio of two equal quantities written in different units. For example, 1 meter is equal to 1.0936 yards. That relationship can be used to build a factor that converts one unit into the other. When a value is multiplied or divided...

uncertainty in measurement: accuracy and precision

uncertainty-in-measurement-accuracy-and-precision

Measurement Error: Reading Results Correctly

Measurement error affects how scientists judge the quality of their results. Repeated measurements help show whether results are precise and accurate. A measurement is precise when repeated values are very similar. A measurement is accurate when it is very close to the true or accepted value. Precise values agree with each other, while accurate values agree with the true value. A pharmaceutical quality control chemist can use this idea to check machines that dispense 500 mL of cough syrup. The...

uncertainty in measurement: reading instruments

uncertainty-in-measurement-reading-instruments

Measurement Uncertainty and Significant Figures

Measurement uncertainty and significant figures show how carefully a value can be read from an instrument. Counting is different. If the number of objects does not change during counting, the result is exact. Defined quantities are exact too. For example, 1 foot is exactly 12 inches, 1 inch is exactly 2.54 centimeters, and 1 gram is exactly 0.001 kilograms. Most other measurements are not exact because the measuring process has limits. The result depends on the device used and on the person...

uncertainty in measurement: significant figures

uncertainty-in-measurement-significant-figures

Significant Figures and Rounding Rules

Significant figures and rounding rules help students report measurements with the right level of certainty. A measurement includes every digit that was actually measured, including the last uncertain digit. That is why a value can look simple but still carry useful information about the tool used to measure it. Zero can also be significant when it is part of a measured value. For example, if a scale reads 140 pounds to the nearest pound, the 1, 4, and 0 are all significant. Reporting...

Atomic structure
• Evolution of atomic models/theory
• Electrons
• Electron configurations

Content elaboration: Physical Science included properties and locations of protons, neutrons and electrons, atomic number, mass number, cations and anions, isotopes and the strong nuclear force which holds the nucleus together. In this course, the historical development of the atomic model and the positions of electrons are explored in greater detail. Atomic models are constructed to explain experimental evidence and make predictions. The changes in the atomic model over time exemplify how scientific knowledge changes as new evidence emerges and how technological advancements like electricity extend the boundaries of scientific knowledge. Thompson's study of electrical discharges in cathode-ray tubes led to the discovery of the electron and the development of the plum pudding model of the atom. Rutherford's experiment, in which he bombarded gold foil with a-particles, led to the discovery that most of the atom consists of empty space with a relatively small, positively charged nucleus. Bohr used data from atomic spectra to propose a planetary model of the atom in which electrons orbit the nucleus, like planets around the sun. Later, Schrödinger used the idea that electrons travel in waves to develop a model in which electrons travel randomly in regions of space called orbitals (quantum mechanical model). Based on the quantum mechanical model, it is not possible to predict exactly where electrons are located but there is a region of space surrounding the nucleus in which there is a high probability of finding an electron (electron cloud or orbital). Data from atomic spectra (emission and absorption) gives evidence that electrons can only exist at certain discrete energy levels and not at energies between these levels. Atoms are usually in the ground state where the electrons occupy orbitals with the lowest available energy. However, the atom can become excited when the electrons absorb a photon with the precise amount of energy (indicated by the frequency of the photon) to move to an orbital with higher energy. Any photon without this precise amount of energy will be ignored by the electron. The atom exists in the excited state for a very short amount of time. When an electron drops back down to the lower energy level, it emits a photon that has energy equal to the energy difference between the levels. The amount of energy is indicated by the frequency of the light that is given off and can be measured. Each element has a unique emission and absorption spectrum due to its unique electron configuration and specific electron energy jumps that are possible for that element. Being aware of the quantum mechanical model as the currently accepted model for the atom is important for science literacy as it explains and predicts subatomic interactions, but details should be reserved for more advanced study. Electron energy levels consist of sublevels (s, p, d and f), each with a characteristic number and shape of orbitals. Orbital diagrams and electron configuration can be constructed to show the location of the electrons in an atom using established rules. Valence electrons are responsible for most of the chemical properties of elements. In this course, electron configuration (extended and noble gas notation) and orbital diagrams can be shown for any element in the first three periods. Although the quantum mechanical model of the atom explains the most experimental evidence, other models can still be helpful. Thinking of atoms as indivisible spheres is useful in explaining many physical properties of substances, such as the state (solid, liquid or gas) of a substance at room temperature. Bohr's planetary model is useful to explain and predict periodic trends in the properties of elements.

Periodic Table
• Properties
• Trends

Content elaboration: In the Physical Science course, the concept that elements are placed in order of increasing atomic number in the periodic table such that elements with similar properties are placed in the same column is introduced. How the periodic table is divided into groups, families, periods, metals, nonmetals and metalloids is also included and will be revisited here. In this course, with more information about the electron configuration of elements, similarities in the configuration of the valence electrons for a particular group can be observed. The electron configuration of an atom can be determined from the position on the periodic table. The repeating pattern in the electron configuration for elements on the periodic table explains many of the trends in the properties observed. Atomic theory is used to describe and explain trends in properties across periods or down columns including atomic radii, ionic radii, first ionization energies, electronegativities and whether the element is a solid or gas at room temperature. Additional ionization energies, electron affinities and periodic properties of the transition elements, and the lanthanide and actinide series are reserved for more advanced study.

Chemical bonding
• lonic
• Polar/covalent

Content elaboration: Content in the Physical Science course included recognizing that atoms with unpaired electrons tend to form ionic and covalent bonds with other atoms, forming molecules, ionic lattices or network covalent structures. In this course, electron configuration, electronegativity values and energy considerations will be applied to bonding and the properties of materials with different types of bonding. Atoms of many elements are more stable when they are bonded to other atoms. In such cases, as atoms bond, energy is released to the surroundings, resulting in a system with lower energy. An atom's electron configuration, particularly the valence electrons, determines how an atom interacts with other atoms. Molecules, ionic lattices and network covalent structures have different, yet predictable, properties that depend on the identity of the elements and the types of bonds formed. Differences in electronegativity values can be used to predict where a bond fits on the continuum between ionic and covalent bonds. The polarity of a bond depends on the electronegativity difference and the distance between the atoms (bond length). Polar covalent bonds are introduced as an intermediary between ionic and pure covalent bonds. The concept of metallic bonding is also introduced to explain many of the properties of metals (e.g., conductivity). Since most compounds contain multiple bonds, a substance may contain more than one type of bond. Carbon atoms can bond together and with other atoms, especially hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur, to form chains, rings and branching networks that are present in a variety of important compounds, including synthetic polymers, fossil fuels and the large molecules essential to life.

Representing compounds
• Formula writing
• Nomenclature
• Models and shapes (Lewis structures, ball and stick, molecular geometries)

Content elaboration: Using the periodic table, formulas of ionic compounds containing specific elements can be predicted. This can include ionic compounds made up of elements from groups 1, 2, 17, hydrogen, oxygen and polyatomic ions (given the formula and charge of the polyatomic ion). Given the formula, a compound can be named using conventional systems that include Greek prefixes and Roman numerals where appropriate. Given the name of an ionic or covalent substance, formulas can be written. Many different models can be used to represent compounds including chemical formulas, Lewis structures, and ball and stick models. These models can be used to visualize atoms and molecules and to predict the properties of substances. Each type of representation provides unique information about the compound. Different representations are better suited for particular substances. Lewis structures can be drawn to represent covalent compounds using a simple set of rules and can be combined with valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory to predict the three-dimensional electron pair and molecular geometry of compounds. Lewis structures and molecular geometries will only be constructed for the following combination of elements: hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur and the halogens.

Quantifying matter

Content elaboration: In earlier grades, properties of materials were quantified with measurements that were always associated with some error. In this course, scientific protocols for quantifying the properties of matter accurately and precisely are studied. Using the International System of Units (SI), significant digits or figures, scientific notation, error analysis and dimensional analysis are vital to scientific communication. There are three domains of magnitude in size and time: the macroscopic (human) domain, the cosmic domain and the submicroscopic (atomic and subatomic) domain. Measurements in the cosmic domain and submicroscopic domains require complex instruments and/or procedures. Matter can be quantified in a way that macroscopic properties such as mass can reflect the number of particles present. Elemental samples are a mixture of several isotopes with different masses. The atomic mass of an element is calculated given the mass and relative abundance of each isotope of the element as it exists in nature. Because the mass of an atom is very small, the mole is used to translate between the atomic and macroscopic levels. A mole is equal to the number of atoms in exactly 12 grams of the isotope carbon-12. The mass of one mole of a substance is equal to its molar mass in grams. The molar mass for a substance can be used in conjunction with Avogadro's number and the density of a substance to convert between mass, moles, volume and number of particles of a sample.
