 MATTER IN OUR SURROUNDINGS


Matter:

  • Anything that occupies space and has mass is called matter.
  • It exists in the form of five basic elements, the Panch tatva – air, earth, fire , sky and water.
  • For example: Chair, bed, river, mountain, dog, tree, building, etc.



Characteristics of matter:

  • Matter is made up of small particles called atoms.
  • These particles are too small to be observed with naked eye.
  • These particles are constantly moving constantly.
  • These particles have spaces between them.
  • Particles of matter attract each other because of the force of attraction.


Diffusion:

Particles of matter intermix on their own with each other. They do so by getting into the spaces between the particles. This intermixing of particles of two different types of matter on their own is called diffusion. 



Applications of Diffusion:

Dissolving a solid in a liquid:

  • When a crystal of potassium permanganate is placed in a beaker of water, the water slowly turns purple on its own, even without stirring.
  • Both potassium permanganate crystal and water are made up of tiny particles.
  • When the potassium permanganate crystal is put in water, the purple colored particles of potassium permanganate spread throughout water making the whole water look purple.
  • Actually, on dissolving, the particles of potassium permanganate get into the spaces between the particles of water.
  • This shows that the particles have spaces between them and are continuously moving on their own.



Mixing of two gases:

  • Fragrance of an incense stick (agarbatti) lightened in one corner of a room, spreads in the whole room quickly.
  • The particles of gases (or vapours) produced by burning the incense stick move rapidly in all directions and mix with the moving particles of air in the room
  • This also shows that the partices of matter are constantly moving.



Brownian motion of particles (By Robert Brown):

  • The random or zig-zag movement of microscopic particles in a fluid, as a result of continuous bombardment from molecules of the surrounding medium, is known as Brownian motion.
  • For example, dust moves randomly because the random moving particles of air collide with dust particles.


Basis of Classification of Matter:

  • Based upon particle arrangement
  • Based upon energy of particles
  • Based upon distance between particles



Three States of Matter:

Constituent particles are very closely packed.

Constituent particles are less closely packed.

Constituent particles are far apart from each other.

Force of attraction between particles is very strong.

Force of attraction between particles is less strong.

Force of attraction between particles is negligible.

Force of attraction between particles is very strong.

Kinetic energy between particles is more than that in solids.

Particles have maximum kinetic energy.

Have definite shape and volume.

Do not have definite shape but definite volume.

Neither have definite shape nor definite volume.

Have high density and and can not be diffused.

Density is lower than solids and can diffuse.

Density is least and can easily diffuse.

Incompressible.

Almost incompressible.

Highly compressible.

Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle

Introduction Werner   Heisenberg   a German physicist  in 1927 stated uncertainty principle which is the consequence of dual behaviour of matter and radiation. It states that it is impossible to determine simulataneously, the exact position and exact momentum( or velocity) of an electron. Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle states that there is inherent uncertainty in the act of measuring a variable of a particle. Commonly applied to the position and momentum of a particle, the principle states that the more precisely the position is known the more uncertain.  the momentum is and vice versa. This is contrary to classical Newtonian physics which holds all   variables of particles to be   measurable to an arbitrary uncertainty given good enough equipment. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is a fundamental theory in quantum mechanics that defines why a scientist cannot measure multiple quantum variables simultaneously. Until the dawn of quantum me...

CARBON AND ITS COMPOUNDS (PART-2)

  Homologous Series:   Series of organic compounds having the same functional group and chemical properties and successive members differ by a CH 2   unit or 14 mass units are known as Homologous series. Homologous series of Alkanes, Alkenes and Alkynes Characteristic of Homologous Series The successive members in homologous series differ by CH 2  unit or 14 mass unit. Members of given homologous series have the same functional group. All the members of homologous series shows similar chemical properties. Functional Group:   An atom or group of atoms present in a molecule which largely determines its chemical properties are called Functional Group. Nomenclature of Organic Compounds:   It is difficult to remember millions of compounds by their individual common name. Thus, to systematize the nomenclature of organic compounds IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) has given certain rule which is as follows: 1. Identify the Number of Carbon ...

CARBON AND ITS COMPOUNDS

CARBON :- Carbon is a chemical element with the symbol C and atomic number 6. It is nonmetallic and tetravalent—making four electrons available to form covalent chemical bonds. It belongs to group 14 of the periodic table. Carbon makes up only about 0.025 percent of Earth’s crust. Bonding in Carbon:   The Covalent bond, Electron dot structure, Physical properties of organic compounds, Allotropes of Carbon . Covalent Bond:   The atomic number of carbon is 6. Its electronic configuration is 2, 4. It requires, 4 electrons to achieve the inert gas electronic configuration. But carbon cannot form an ionic bond.                                                     It could gain four electrons forming C 4-  cation. But it would be difficult for the nucleus with six protons to hold on to ten electrons. It could lose four electrons forming C 4+ ...
