Grade 9 Chemistry Lesson 1 - Matter and the Particle Theory
Summary
TLDRThis Grade 9 chemistry lesson introduces matter and the particle theory. It explains that matter has mass and volume, with examples of solids, liquids, and gases. The video covers changes in states, including melting, freezing, evaporation, condensation, sublimation, and deposition. It introduces the particle theory, stating that all matter is made of particles that move, and their energy affects their state (solid, liquid, or gas). The video also explains how energy influences particle movement and state changes, such as evaporation occurring even below boiling point.
Takeaways
- 😀 Matter is anything that has both mass and volume.
- 📏 Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object and is measured in grams, kilograms, and milligrams.
- 🌍 Weight changes depending on gravity, but mass stays the same, even in space.
- 🧪 Volume is the amount of space an object occupies, measured in liters or milliliters.
- 🧊 The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas, and they can change states through melting, freezing, evaporation, and condensation.
- 🔥 Sublimation is when a solid turns directly into a gas, while deposition is when a gas turns directly into a solid.
- ⚛️ The particle theory explains that all matter is made up of tiny particles, which are always moving and have spaces between them.
- 🔬 Particles of a pure substance are the same, but different substances have different particles.
- 💥 Adding energy to particles increases their movement, which can cause substances to change states (e.g., from solid to liquid to gas).
- 💧 Evaporation can occur at lower temperatures because some particles at the surface of a liquid have enough energy to escape into the air.
Q & A
What is matter, according to the video?
-Matter is anything that contains both mass and volume.
How is mass different from weight?
-Mass is the amount of matter in an object, whereas weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. Mass remains constant regardless of location, but weight can change depending on gravity, such as on the Moon.
What are the three states of matter described in the video?
-The three states of matter are solid (e.g., a rock), liquid (e.g., water), and gas (e.g., air or the gas inside a balloon).
What is the difference between melting and freezing?
-Melting is the process where a solid turns into a liquid, while freezing is when a liquid turns into a solid. Both processes occur at the same temperature for a given substance, such as water at 0°C.
What is sublimation and deposition?
-Sublimation is when a substance changes from a solid directly to a gas (e.g., dry ice). Deposition is when a substance changes from a gas directly to a solid (e.g., frost).
What is the particle theory of matter?
-The particle theory explains the structure and behavior of matter, stating that all matter is made up of tiny particles, which have spaces between them, are always moving, and have attractive forces between them.
How does particle movement differ in solids, liquids, and gases?
-In solids, particles vibrate in place. In liquids, particles move past each other, and in gases, particles move freely and randomly.
What causes evaporation, and why do puddles evaporate even when it's not 100°C?
-Evaporation occurs when particles at the surface of a liquid gain enough energy to escape into the air as gas. Even at lower temperatures, some particles in a puddle can gain enough energy to evaporate, causing the puddle to disappear over time.
What are attractive forces between particles, and how do they vary?
-Attractive forces are the forces that pull particles together. These forces are stronger when particles are closer, as in solids, and weaker when they are farther apart, as in gases.
How does the energy of particles relate to the state of matter?
-As energy is added to particles, they move faster. In solids, particles vibrate with low energy, in liquids they move more freely with moderate energy, and in gases they move rapidly with high energy.
Outlines
🧪 Introduction to Matter and Particle Theory
The first paragraph introduces the concept of matter and the particle theory in a Grade 9 chemistry lesson. Matter is defined as anything with mass and volume, and the difference between mass and weight is clarified. It explains that while weight changes based on gravity, mass remains constant. The three states of matter—solid, liquid, and gas—are briefly introduced with examples such as a rock, water, and air. Key state changes like melting, freezing, evaporation, condensation, sublimation, and deposition are also discussed, with a focus on the melting and freezing points being the same for a substance like water.
🔥 Energy and the Movement of Particles in Different States
The second paragraph focuses on how energy affects the movement of particles and the transitions between different states of matter. It explains how adding energy to a solid causes particles to vibrate more, eventually leading to a liquid state as they move past each other. With further energy, particles break free and become gas. Evaporation is discussed in detail, explaining how it can occur even if the temperature isn't 100°C, due to the varying energy levels of individual particles. This explains why puddles can evaporate at lower temperatures. The lesson wraps up with a teaser for the next topic: mixtures and pure substances.

Highlights
Matter is anything that contains both mass and volume.
Mass is how much matter is in an object, measured in grams, kilograms, and milligrams.
Mass should not be confused with weight; weight changes based on gravity, but mass remains constant.
Volume is the amount of space something takes up, measured in liters and milliliters.
The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.
Melting occurs when a solid turns into a liquid, such as ice melting into water.
Freezing is when a liquid becomes a solid, like water freezing into ice. The freezing and melting points are the same, for example, 0°C for water.
Evaporation is the process of a liquid turning into a gas, like water evaporating when boiled.
Condensation happens when a gas turns into a liquid, such as moisture forming on a cold surface.
Sublimation is when a solid turns directly into a gas, like dry ice (solid CO2) transforming into gas.
Deposition is the reverse, where a gas changes directly into a solid, an example being frost formation.
The particle theory describes the structure and behavior of matter, stating that all matter is made of tiny particles.
Particles of a pure substance are identical, but different substances consist of different particles.
Particles are always in motion; the more energy they have, the faster they move, and the type of movement depends on the state of matter.
When particles gain energy, they move more, weakening their bonds, transitioning from solid to liquid and then to gas as energy increases.

hi there welcome to Mr lehan teaches you
stuff this is grade nine chemistry
lesson one matter and the particle
theory so first thing we want to look at
is what is matter and matter is anything
that contains both mass and volume so we
might as well Define those as
well mass is how much matter is in an
object we measure mass in grams
kilograms milligrams stuff like
that um it's very important that we
don't get Mass confused used with weight
um so you may weigh 100 pound and when
you go into space let's say you don't
weigh 100 pounds you're floating around
weightless uh but you're not floating
around massless you still are made up of
the same amount of
matter um similarly if you step on a
scale on the
moon uh it'll say that you weigh less
right because you're not pushing down as
hard on that scale because gravity is
not as hard or not as strong but you
will not have less Mass you'll have the
same amount of mass volume is how much
space something takes up uh we measure
volume in liters and milliliters
Etc so the three states of matter are
solid like this rock liquid like a glass
of water and gas like the gas inside
this balloon or possibly the gas in the
air that that balloon is floating
through
uh there are several changes in state so
melting is when something goes from a
solid to a
liquid so there's an example some ice
cubes
melting freezing is when a liquid turns
into a solid uh like this water that I
left in the
freezer um and it's important to note
that the melting point is the same as
the freezing point so for water for
example that's 0 degrees Celsius so uh
the same temperature at which something
melts is the same one which it will
start to
freeze uh evaporation is when something
goes from a liquid to a gas so when
you've got water boiling on the stove
some of that water will
evaporate uh condensation it's when
something goes from a gas to a liquid if
you ever get uh a cold pot for example
out of the fridge uh you might notice
that there's condensation around
it uh now for two that you may not have
heard of subl and deposition sublimation
is when something goes from a solid to a
gas um so an example of that would be
dry ice uh which is basically solid
carbon dioxide it changes directly into
a
gas uh deposition gas to a solid this is
more common uh than you might think um
that's what Frost is so if you ever see
frost on a pine Branch like this or
frost on a
window uh that is solid water uh that
has just come out of the air it went
directly from gaseous water to solid
water now how does this all relate to
the particle uh the particle theory was
created to describe the structure and
behavior of
matter and there's five main points to
the particle theory so we'll take a look
at
those first point is that all matter is
made up of tiny
particles and all of those particles
have spes in between them so there's a
little bit of room between each one of
those
particles Point number three all
particles of one pure substance are the
same different substances are made of
different particles so if we've got two
substances here uh they're both pure
substances they're all made of the same
type of
particle um but since they're different
types of substances they have different
types of particles making them up one in
this case is green and one is
blue uh number four the particles are
always moving the more energy the
particles have the faster they
move so even for a solid object so the
computer you're watching on this on your
hand uh your desk all the particles that
make up that desk or hand or computer
are moving a little bit um to the extent
or the extent to which they move around
uh determines whether a solid a liquid
or a gas um but they're all moving a
little
bit and there are attractive forces
forces between the particles these
forces are stronger when the particles
are closer together so the three
particles here they're fairly close
together they're very attracted to each
other whereas this one off by itself at
the bottom is not as attracted to the
other
ones so how does the particle theory
relate to the states of matter um as
energy is added to particles they move
around more this causes the bonds
between the particles to weaken so here
we have some very low energy particles
this is a
solid um now if this solid is at
Absolute Zero um then it's not going to
be moving around at all but as we add a
little bit of energy to it a little bit
of
heat um those particles will start to
jiggle around more so it's still a solid
no one none of the particles have are
moving past each other but they'll
they'll kind of Shake in
place now when you add even more energy
the particles get so much energy that
they move move past each other so if
they can slide past each other and move
around that substance is now a
liquid then as you add even more energy
uh the particles are no longer bonded to
each other so they're flying around
randomly uh the substance is now a gas
these are very high energy particles you
can tell by the looks on their
faces um now evaporation is when
something turns from a liquid to a gas
and that happens at 100 degrees
C but you may think well why is it that
puddles disappear puddles evaporate but
it's not 100 degrees out um and the
reason why is because when those
particles are just randomly moving
around in a
puddle um some of them will be close to
the air and some of them have randomly
just enough energy to pop up into the
air and start floating around and be a
gas um so although the temperature of a
puddle is determined by the average
temperature of all the
particles um some particles have more
energy than others and if those
particles are found at the top of the
puddle right next to the air they may
have enough energy to sort of just sort
of bounce off the puddle and disappear
into the air so that's why puddles
evaporate if you
wondering all right so that's it for
this video uh tune in to the next video
uh which will be mixtures and pure
substances
