Properties

Matter is anything that takes up space. It is classified by properties or characteristics including:

STATE
MASS
WEIGHT
VOLUME
DENSITY
MAGNETISM
CONDUCTION

Classification of Matter

Matter can be classified into many things:


Element: substance made up of only one kind of atom

Molecule: smallest number (group) of atoms that make up a compound

Compound: substance made of two or more elements

Mixture: two or more substances blended together; because they do not make a new substance, thay keep their own physical properties; can be seperated

Solution: mixtures that are blended so well that their properties are the same throughout; one substance dissolves into the other

Periodic Table

The periodic table was made to show data of all elements. It contains the element's chemical symbol, atomic number, atomic mass, and the element's name. It is arranged in rows in increasing atomic number. Elements in the same collumn are similar.

When matter absorbs energy, its atoms move faster and they spread apart from each other. Atoms are packed closest together in solids and farthest apart in gases.

Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids

Metals are shiny and can be bent or pulled. They are good conductors of heat and electricity. Many of them are solids at room temperature.

Nonmetals are dull, brittle, and por conductors of heat and electricity. Many of them are gases at room temperature

Metalloids are conductors of electricity under some conditions

Atoms

Atoms are the very small substances of all matter. The nucleus is the central part of the atom and contains most of its mass. An atom has three main parts; the proton(+), neutron(no charge), and electron(-)

Matter

This blog is about matter,atoms,the periodic table etc. Our project will show how to arrange rows and column in the periodic table. Also about chemical reactions and physical change.
