Matter: Core Properties, States, and Mixtures

Matter is anything that has mass and occupies volume. It is characterized by two types of properties:

Key Properties of Matter

• General properties: These are mass and volume.
• Specific properties: These are different in each material, so they serve to differentiate materials from each other and assign them different uses.

The Three States of Matter

Matter can occur in three states:

• Gas: A gas has no definite shape and spreads to fill its container. It can be compressed and expands greatly with temperature.
• Liquid: A liquid does not hold its own shape (it takes the shape of its container) but has a definite volume. It is not easily compressed and expands slightly with increasing temperature, although much

Classification of Matter

Matter is classified as homogeneous or heterogeneous according to its appearance.

• Homogeneous: It looks the same everywhere.
• Heterogeneous: It does not have the same aspect throughout.

Classification of Substances

Substances can be classified according to their material composition into pure substances or mixtures.

• Pure substances: Are formed by a single substance.

Classification of Pure Substances

Pure substances are classified into chemical elements and compounds

• Chemical Elements: Are pure substances that cannot be decomposed into simpler ones.
• Compounds: Are pure substances that can be decomposed into simpler ones.

• Mixtures: A mixture is formed by several pure substances. Mixtures have no fixed composition.

Separation of Mixing

Structure of DNA and RNA

Understandings:

The nucleic acids DNA and RNA are polymers of nucleotides.

• Nucleotides are the monomers of the polymer DNA.
• DNA nucleotides are made up of 3 components: a phosphate group (PO₄^-3), a pentose sugar, and a nitrogenous base.
• The phosphate, sugar, and base are linked by covalent bonds.
• In DNA and RNA, each nucleotide is linked to the next nucleotide between the phosphate of one and the pentose sugar of the other nucleotide.

DNA differs from RNA in the number of strands present, the base composition, and the type of pentose.

EDTA Titration and Water Hardness Calculation

EDTA Structure

EDTA (C₁₀H₁₆N₂O₈) is a hexadentate ligand that binds metal ions through four carboxyl (–COOH) groups and two amine (–NH₂) groups.

Titration Procedure (Water Hardness Test)

1. Take a 50 mL water sample.
2. Add buffer (pH 10) and Eriochrome Black T indicator (resulting in a wine-red color).
3. Titrate with EDTA until the color changes to sky blue (the end point).
4. Note the volume of EDTA used (V).

Reaction

M²⁺ + EDTA⁴⁻ → [M-EDTA]²⁻

Calculation Formula

Hardness (ppm) = (V × M × 1,000,000) / Vₛₐₘₗₔₗₑ

• M = EDTA molarity
• V = Volume of EDTA used (mL)
• Vₛₐₘₗₔₗₑ = Sample volume (mL)

VSEPR — Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion

Molecular structure — the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in a molecule.

Molecular structure and electron-pair repulsion

Electron-pair repulsion: electron pairs spread as far apart as possible to minimize repulsion. Unshared (lone) pairs exert an overall effect on the bond angles between shared electron pairs.

Hybridization

Hybridization is the mixing of atomic orbitals to form new hybrid orbitals that are identical in energy and shape. For example, mixing an s orbital and a p orbital produces two sp hybrid orbitals.

The structure around a given atom is determined by minimizing repulsion between electron pairs.

sp hybridization

• Geometry: Linear
• Bonded atoms: Two bonded
• Lone pairs: Zero non-bonded

Herbal Cosmetics: Sources and Applications

Herbal cosmetic products possess desirable physiological properties, such as healing, conditioning, and appearance enhancement, due to the natural ingredients they contain. These products are effective, safe, and generally have negligible adverse effects.

Categories of Herbal Cosmetics

• Skin Care: Cleansers, antiseptics, nourishers, moisturizers, sunscreens, smoothing agents, anti-acne, and anti-wrinkle treatments.
• Hair Care: Colorants, growth promoters, conditioners, nourishers, detergents, and anti-dandruff agents.

Key Herbal Ingredients

• Olive Oil: Derived from the family Oleaceae, it contains stearic, palmitic, oleic, and linoleic acids. It is a pale yellow liquid used in bath oils, creams, and lotions

Atomic Structure

• Protons — positive charge, found in nucleus
• Neutrons — no charge, found in nucleus
• Electrons — negative charge, orbit nucleus in energy levels

Key Terms

• Atomic Number (Z): number of protons
• Mass Number (A): protons + neutrons
• Isotopes: atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons
• Ions: atoms that gain or lose electrons
  • Gain electrons → negative ion (anion)
  • Lose electrons → positive ion (cation)

Important Formulas

• Mass Number: A = Z + N
• Average Atomic Mass: weighted average of all isotopes

Electron Configuration

Electrons fill energy levels from lowest to highest energy. Example: Oxygen (8 electrons) → 1s² 2s² 2p⁴

Key Formulas

Density Triangle:

• Density (D) = Mass (m) ÷ Volume (V)

• Mass (m) = Density (D) × Volume (V)

• Volume (V) = Mass (m) ÷ Density (D)

Other Core Formulas & Rules:

• Neutrons = Mass Number − Atomic Number

• Valence Electrons = Outermost shell electrons

• Charge = Protons − Electrons (for ions)

• Stable Octet = 8 valence electrons (or 2 for small atoms like Helium)

Chemical Bonding

• Ionic Bond = Metal + Non-metal (electrons are transferred)

• Covalent Bond = Non-metal + Non-metal (electrons are shared)

• Diatomic molecules: H₂, N₂, O₂, F₂, Cl₂, Br₂, I₂
