Observable World: The world that can be seen with the naked eye.
Particulate World: Made up of objects too small to see, such as atoms and molecules.
Representation Language: Chemical symbols such as H2O, O2, Na+, Cl-.
Logical Process: Refers to a method scientists use to explain observations about the world around them.
The volume and temperature of a gas are directly proportional when pressure is constant — Law.
Gases are made up of tiny particles in constant motion — Theory.
If the liquid is water, it should boil at 100°C — Hypothesis.
The shiny yellow metal has a density of 19.3 g/cm³ — Observation.
Analysis of Ivory soap ingredients for purity — Experiment.
Matter: Anything that has mass and occupies space.
Physical States: Solid, Liquid, Gas.
Examples: Water, Air, Gold.
Fundamental Particles: Matter is composed of tiny particles called atoms.
Solid:
Fixed shape
Fixed volume
Tightly packed particles
Not compressible
Liquid:
Indefinite shape
Fixed volume
Medium spacing of particles
Can flow
Gas:
Indefinite shape and volume
Far apart particles
Very compressible
Physical State Changes: A substance can change states with changes in temperature or pressure.
Solid: Ice
Liquid: Water
Gas: Water vapor
Matter: Can be classified into pure substances and mixtures.
Pure Substances: Have a definite composition.
Mixtures: Composed of two or more substances.
Pure Substance: Examples include elements (oxygen) and compounds (water).
Mixtures: Examples include air and salt water.
Key Properties: Composition, appearance, properties, separation methods.
Elements: Cannot be broken down into simpler substances (e.g., oxygen).
Compounds: Substances formed from two or more elements (e.g., water).
Homogeneous Mixture: Composition is uniform (e.g., salt water).
Heterogeneous Mixture: Composition is not uniform (e.g., muddy water).
Classifications:
Pure Element: Aluminum
Pure Compound: Carbon dioxide
Homogeneous Mixture: Air
Heterogeneous Mixture: Hamburger
Task: Write detailed descriptions for the classified contents in the box, focusing on their properties and classifications.
