What is matter?
Matter is anything that has mass and
takes up space.
ALL solids, liquids, & gases
ATOM
The smallest particle that has the
characteristics of that element
Atoms
are so
small.
Protons
Charge = positive
Location = nucleus
Mass = 1 AMU
Neutrons
Charge = Neutral
(not + or - )
Location = Nucleus
Mass = 1 AMU
Electrons
Charge = Negative
Location = Electron cloud
Mass = 0.0005 AMU
Electron Cloud
Element
A substance that cannot be broken down
into any other substance by physical or
chemical means.
An element is made of one type of atom.
Atoms of the
same type

Molecule
A group of 2 or more atoms held
together by chemical bonds.
Molecule
Compound
A substance made
of two or more
elements that are
chemically
combined in a set
ratio.
Compounds are
represented by
chemical formulas

3 States of Matter
Solid
Liquid
Gas
Solid
Volume & shape stay the same
Atoms in solids are tightly packed &
vibrate in place
Liquid
Volume stays the same
Shape changes to fit its
container
Atoms in liquids are more
loosely packed & move
around each other
Low viscosity
Flows quickly, Ex: Water
Gas
Can change shape & volume
Atoms in gases are very far apart and
move around very quickly
ice
water
steam

*** This is the
melting/freezing point.
