Matter
solid liquid gas
Chemistry for Engineers | Gonzaga 7
States of Matter
Gas Fills a container, taking on the shape of the container.
Similar to a liquid, except that particles are very widely
spaced from one another, and interparticle interactions
are minimal.
Liquid Does not fill a container, but takes on the shape of the
container. Similar to gases, except particles are very
closely spaced.
Solid Does not fill a container, and do not conform to the
shape of the container. Particles are very closely packed
– still much dynamic motion in a solid, which increases
with heating.

Physical vs Chemical Properties
Physical Properties
No change in composition takes place during the
determination or measurement of these properties.
Chemical Properties
A change in composition occurs during the determination
or measurement of these properties.

Extensive vs Intensive Properties
Extensive Properties
These are dependent on the amount of matter or
substance.
Intensive Properties
These are independent on the amount of matter or
substance.

Elements and the Periodic Table
Chemistry for Engineers | Gonzaga 14
Pure Substances
Pure substances are composed of one component.
• Elements – made up of one kind of atoms
• Compounds – made up of 2 or more atoms
Chemistry for Engineers | Gonzaga 15
Mixtures
• Homogeneous mixtures – consists of two or more substances
that has uniform properties throughout
• One phase
• Heterogeneous mixtures – consists of distinct regions having
different properties
• Two or more phases
