Understanding Matter
Chemicals are found all around us Ex. Soap, bleach, windex, chlorine etc. Chemicals can be safe or dangerous ex.
chlorine, lye Chemicals must be stored and disposed of
in a safe way
WHMIS: workplace hazardous materials information system
MSDS: material safety data sheets
Household Hazardous Safety Symbols:
Workplace Hazardous Material Information System (WHMIS):
Has mass and takes up space Particle Theory of Matter
◦ All particles in a pure substance are the same◦ There are spaces between particles◦ Particles are always moving◦ Particles of a substance are attracted to one
another
Solid: closely packed particles that move very little ex. Sugar
Liquid: particles are further apart, particles move around ex. Milk
Gas: loosely packed particles which move freely
Chemical Properties: describes how a substance reacts with another substance when forming a new substance.
Physical Properties: any observable or measurable property without forming a new substance.

Physical: characteristics or qualities ex. Shape, color, state, freezing point, boiling point, texture, hardness, smell, magnetism, conductivity, flexibility, density
Chemical: how substances react ex. change in color smell, temperature, ease of catching fire and burning, reactions, production of a new substance
Pure substance: made of only one type of particle, can not be separated into components, includes elements (oxygen) and compounds (water) ex. Distilled water, baking soda, sugar
Mixture: contains more than one type of particle, can be separated into components, includes solutions (chocolate milk) and mechanical mixtures (muffins) ex. Juice, perfume, cookie dough
Pure Substance: made of only one kind of matter and has a unique set of properties (chemical and physical). e.g. mercury (element) and sugar (compound)
Element: a material that cannot be broken down into any simpler substance. e.g. helium, oxygen.
Compound: when two or more elements combine e.g. water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2).
Mixture: a combination of pure substances where the properties can vary depending on the quantities of the substances.
Mechanical (Heterogeneous) Mixture: a mixture in which the different substances are visible. e.g. soil, cookie dough, vomit.
Solution (Homogeneous): a mixture in which the different substances are not visible. e.g. kool aid, ice tea.
