Based on the data that were gathered, the researcher formulates a hypothesis, a tentative explanation
for a set of observations. Further experiments are devised to test the validity of the hypothesis in as
many ways as possible.
After large amount of data has been collected, the information are summarize in a concise way, as a
law. In science, law is a concise verbal or mathematical statement of relationship between phenomena that
is always the same under the same conditions.
Hypotheses that passed the experimental tests of validity may evolve to theories. A theory is a unifying
principle that explains a body of facts and/or those laws that are based on them.

PARTICLES COMPOSING MATTER
LIQUID
has a distinct volume independent of the container it occupies and
assume the shape of the container it occupies, it is also not compressible
to any appreciable extent.
GAS (VAPOR)
has no fixed volume or shape; rather it uniformly fills its container. It can
be compressed to occupy a smaller volume, or it can expand to occupy a
larger one.
Identify the following if it is a substance or mixture
a. Table sugar
b. Table salt
c. Iodized salt
d. Brown sugar
e. Distilled water
f. Soft drinks
g. Oxygen gas in a tank
PROPERTIES OF MATTER
PHYSICAL PROPERTY
can be measured or observed without changing the composition or identity of as substance. Color,
melting pointand boiling point are physical properties.
PHYSICAL CHANGE
the physical properties of asubstance changes but its composition remains unchanged.
CHEMICAL PROPERTY
is the ability of a substance of matter to undergo change in composition under a certain condition.
CHEMICAL CHANGE
also known as chemical reaction. One or more kind of matter are converted to new kind of matter with different
composition.
Classify the following examples as physical or chemical
properties.
a. Melting of ice
b. Evaporation of water
c. Rusting
d. Digestion
Identify if it is a chemical change or physical change.
a. Chopping a banana
b. Burning a gummy bear
c. Hold a wooden spoon over a flame
d. Photosynthesis
e. Radioactivity
f. Melting of ice
g. Metabolism
MEASURABLE PROPERTY OF MATTER
EXTENSIVE PROPERTY
depends on how much matter is being considered. Values of the same extensive property can be
added together.
Example mass, volume
INTENSIVE PROPERTY
does not depend on how much matter is being considered. Not additive.
Example density
Classify the following examples as intensive or extensive
properties
a. Boiling point
b. Weight
c. Volume
d. Density

How can the following components of the following
mixtures be separated?
a. Salt from salt water
b. Salt from a mixture of iron and salt

MEASUREMENTS
Many properties of matter are quantitative so itis a must to specify the units.
Measurement can provide:
Macroscopic properties can de determined directly
Microscopic properties on atomic or molecular scale mustbe determined
by indirect method

DENSITY
a. Gold is a precious metal that is chemically unreactive, it
is used mainly in jewelry, dentistry and electronic devices. A
piece of gold ingot with a mass of 301 g has a volume of
15.6 cm^3. Calculate the density of gold
3. Zeros to the left of the first non-zero (leading numbers) are not
significant.
Example: 0.081 has 2 significant figure; 0.0007 has one significant figure
4. If a number is greater than one, then all zeros written to the right of
the decimal point (trailing zeros) is counted as significant figures.
Example: 102.00 has 5 significant figures; 2.0 has 2 significant figures
NUMBERS: GUIDELINES USING SIGNIFICANT FIGURES
If a number is less than one, then the only zeros that are at the end of
the number and the zeros that between non-zero are significant.
Example: 0.3006 has 4 significant figures; 0.00420 has 3 sigfigs
5. For number that do not contain decimal point, the trailing zeros may
or may not be significant. To avoid ambiguity we will use scientific
notation.
Example; 400 may have 1 (the digit 4) or 2 (the digit 40) or 3 (the digit 400)
sigfigs. But using scientific notation it can be express as 4.0x10^2 having 2
significant figures
NUMBERS: SIGNIFICANT FIGURES
ADDITION and SUBTRACTION of SIGNIFICANT FIGURES
In addition and subtraction, the answer cannot have more digits to the
right of the decimal point than either of the original numbers. Rounding-
off procedure follows.
