The ancient Greek
philosophers proposed ideas
about what matter was made of.
Almost 2500 years ago, Leucippus
and his disciple, Democritus
believed that nature consisted of
2 things atoms and the void
around them. They believed that
atoms are physically, but not
geometrically, indivisible.
 Democritus believed that any
pieces of matter can be divided
and subdivided into very small
particles but this process ended at
some point when a piece is
reached that could not be further
divided.
 The idea Lets read
of the atom this first!
was not
further
explored until a little
over 2
centuries ago when
john Dalton presented concrete
evidence that all matter is made
up of very small particles called
atom. An ATOM is the smallest
particle of matter of an element
that has all the properties of
matter.

The characteristics that

describe a sample of matter are
called properties. The mass of an
object is a measure of the amount
of matter the object has. Each
sample of matter occupies space.
The measure of the space
occupied by an object is called
volume.

There are other properties of

matter such as, hardness, texture,
color, flexibility, malleability and
electrical conductivity which
varies from 1 sample to another.

and escape from the
surface of the liquid and
eventually move into the air. To
break away from the surface of
the liquid, the molecules must
have at least some minimum
kinetic energy.
 The process by which the
molecules on the surface of a
liquid break away and change into
gas is called evaporation.

As evaporation takes place,

the water molecules which did not
escape and were left in the liquid
have a lower average kinetic
energy than the molecules that
escaped. The effect of this is the
decrease in the temperature of
the liquid water. Evaporation is a
cooing process.

-Air becomes liquid at

exactly minus 190 degrees
Celsius.
-the coldest state of matter
is the Bose-Einstein
superfluid because it defies
gravity and instead of
flowing down it flows
upward.
