444 CHAPTER 15

Using Your SensesAs you look in your empty wallet and realize that your

allowance isn’t coming anytime soon, you decide to get an after-school job. You’ve been hired at the new grocery store that willopen next month. They are getting everything ready for thegrand opening, and you will be helping make decisions aboutwhere things will go and how they will be arranged.

When you come into a new situation or have to make anykind of decision, what do you usually do first? Most peoplewould make some observations. Observing involves seeing,hearing, tasting, touching, and smelling.

Whether in a new job or in the laboratory, you use your sensesto observe materials. It is important to never taste, touch, or smellany of the materials being used in the lab without guidance, asnoted in Figure 1. In the laboratory, you will rely mostly on otherobservations.

Physical Properties and Changes

■ Identify physical properties ofmatter.

■ Explain why materials withdifferent masses have differentdensities.

■ Observe water displacement todetermine volume.

■ Describe the states of matter.■ Determine how temperature

changes affect substances.■ Classify matter using physical

properties.

Observing physical properties will help you interpret the worldaround you.

Figure 1 In the laboratory, youusually use only two of yoursenses—sight and hearing. It isunsafe to touch, taste, or smell any chemicals.

SECTION 1 Physical Properties and Changes 445

Physical PropertiesOn the first day of your new job, the boss gives you an inven-

tory list and a drawing of the store layout. She explains thatevery employee is going to help to create a system to organizethe merchandise. Where will you begin?

You decide to go to an existing grocery store to observe thephysical properties of the items on your list. A physical propertyis any characteristic of a material that can be observed or meas-ured without changing the identity of the material.

Color and Shape What patterns do you observe on yourinventory list? The list is organized by similarity of products, soyou go to an aisle to make observations.

In the laundry product aisle, color is the first physical prop-erty that you notice. The detergent packages come in a variety ofcolors. You also notice that each package has a different shape.Some packages are rectangular, some are square, and some aremore rounded. Shape and color are both physical properties ofmatter. You could arrange the detergent packages according tothese properties.

Texture The next area that you investigate is the produce sec-tion. You notice a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. As youpick up the different types of produce, you notice the way theyfeel. Some fruits have smooth skin, while others have prickly orfuzzy skin. Texture is a physical property that describes the waysomething feels when you touch it. Figure 2 shows the wide vari-ety of physical properties in produce. Each item has a uniquecombination of color, shape, and texture.

Figure 2 Color, shape, and texture are physical properties of matter.Describe the physical properties ofan apple.

446 CHAPTER 15 Understanding Matter

Transparent, Translucent, and Opaque The next area tobe observed is the dairy section. There are rows of milk contain-ers in various packaging. Some milk brands are packaged in card-board containers, while others are packaged in plastic containers.

In one glass container, you notice that chocolate milk is vis-ible through the glass. However, the same type of milk is not vis-ible through some plastic containers. Why can you see throughone container and not another? The glass container is transpar-ent—you can see through it. The plastic container is opaque—meaning that no light passes through it. Some plastic containersare neither opaque nor transparent. They allow some light topass through, but you can’t see through them like you can seethrough the glass container. The plastic in these containers istranslucent. Examples of a translucent, transparent, and opaquewindows are shown in Figure 3. Transparent, translucent, andopaque are physical properties.

Metallic Properties As you continue your walk through thestore, you observe canned food items. The cans are made ofmetal. What are the physical properties of metals? Metals are rel-atively hard. They can be hammered, pressed, or rolled into thinsheets. This is a physical property called malleability (ma lee uhBIH luh tee). Many metals can be drawn into wires, as shown inFigure 4. This property is called ductility (duk TIH luh tee).

At the grocery store, your employer might consider theproperties of metals when purchasing grocery carts and shelves.Metal grocery carts can be dented more easily than plastic carts,but might be less likely to break. The metal in shelves attractsmagnets which can be used to post prices and weekly specials.

Figure 3 These windows illus-trate the difference between trans-parent, translucent, and opaque.

Figure 4 This artist used theductility of metal to create thissculpture.

SECTION 1 Physical Properties and Changes 447

Length Some properties of matter can be identified by usingyour senses, such as color, shape, and texture. Other propertiescan be measured. How much is there? How much space does ittake up? One measurable physical property is length. Length ismeasured using a ruler, meterstick, or tape measure. Objects canbe classified by their length. For example, you could choose toorganize the bread in the bakery section of your store by thelength of the loaf.

Mass Back in the laundry aisle, you notice a child struggling tolift one of the boxes of detergent. That raises a question. Howmuch detergent is in each box? Mass is a physical property thatdescribes the amount of material in an object. The larger deter-gent boxes are heavier than the smaller boxes. In other words,the larger boxes have more mass than the smaller boxes.Organizing the boxes by mass is another option. You mightplace the boxes with more mass on the bottom shelves.

Volume Another physical property that describes how muchof something you have is volume. Volume measures the amountof space an object takes up. Liquids usually are measured byvolume. The juice bottles on your list could be organized by volume.

What term describes the amount of material inan object?

Measuring Volume Thereare two methods used formeasuring the volume of asolid, such as a cube. The firstmethod is by measuring thelength (�), width (w), andheight (h) of the cube. Thevolume is then determined by multiplying length, width,and height (V � � � w � h).Another method for deter-mining the volume of a solidis by immersion. The object isplaced in a known volume ofwater. The difference in thevolume of water before andafter the object is addedequals the object’s volume.

Figure 5 Water displacement isused to determine the volume ofirregularly shaped objects.Explain how you would determinethe volume of a brick.

Density Another measurable physical property related to massand volume is density—the amount of mass a material has in agiven volume. If two objects have the same volume, the moremassive object is more dense. Density is a physical property of asubstance that does not change. Therefore, you can determinethe identity of an unknown substance by calculating its density.Density is calculated by dividing the mass of a substance by itsvolume.

Same Volume, Different Mass Figure 6 shows two ballsthat are the same size but not the same mass. The bowling ballis more dense than the kickball. The customers of your grocerystore will notice the density of their bags of groceries if the bag-gers load all of the canned goods in one bag and put all of thecereal and napkins in the other.

What two properties are related in the measurement of density?

Liquid Layers Some salad dressings are made with oil andwater. Before you use these types of dressings, you are advised toshake the bottle vigorously. Why is this? If you look closely at thebottle before shaking it, you will notice two liquid layers. Onelayer is oil and the other is water. Oil and water form two sepa-rate layers because their densities are different. The density of oilis less than the density of water. Therefore, the oil is the top layer.When two or more substances are mixed, they will form layersin order of density. The substance with the greatest density willform the bottom layer. The one with the lowest density will formthe top layer.

SECTION 1 Physical Properties and Changes 449

Figure 7 The molecules in iceare tightly packed and vibrate inplace. In liquid water they can slippast each other because they havemore energy to move. In watervapor, they fill the entire containerand move with even more energy.

States of MatterWhat happens to ice cream if you leave it out on the kitchen

counter? It melts into a soupy mess. Its state of matter changesfrom a solid to a liquid. The four states of matter are solid, liq-uid, gas, and plasma (PLAZ muh). When you organize the prod-ucts in your grocery store, you probably should understandsomething about each product’s state of matter. You might befamiliar with three of these—solids, liquids, and gases. However,you might not be familiar with plasma. While very common inthe universe, plasma is less common on Earth. Plasma exists inlightening, fluorescent bulbs, and neon signs. Besides theirappearance, how do the states of matter differ?

Moving Particles Matter is made up of moving particles. Thestate of matter is determined by how much energy the particleshave. Molecular motion increases as matter changes from a solidto a liquid and to a gas. The particles of a solid vibrate in a fixedposition. They remain close together and give the solid a definiteshape and volume. The particles of a liquid are moving muchfaster and have enough energy to slide past one another. Thisallows a liquid to take the shape of its container. The particles ofa gas are moving so quickly that they have enough energy tomove freely away from other particles. The particles of a gas takeup as much space as possible and will spread out to fill any con-tainer. Figure 7 illustrates the differences in the states of water.

450 CHAPTER 15 Understanding Matter

Melting and Boiling Points Thetemperature at which a solid becomes aliquid at a given pressure is its meltingpoint. The temperature at which a liq-uid becomes a gas at a given pressure isits boiling point. Melting and boilingpoints are physical properties that canbe used to identify an unknown sub-stance. At atmospheric pressure, wateralways melts at 0°C and boils at 100°C.Nitrogen boils at �195.8°C at atmos-pheric pressure. The change of liquidnitrogen to gaseous nitrogen is shownin Figure 8.

What physicalchange takes placeat the boiling point?

Physical ChangesYou have learned about several physical properties that you

can observe with your senses and that you can measure. Now youwill learn about changes in these properties. In a physical change,the physical properties of a substance change but the identity ofthe substance does not change. For example, if you cut an applein half, many of its physical properties change. Each half has adifferent shape, a different mass, and takes up a different volumethan the whole. However, the halves are still made of the samesubstances. One type of physical change is a change of state.

Changes of State You have already read about melting andboiling. Melting and boiling are physical changes. Freezing, orthe change of a liquid to a solid, also is a physical change.Condensation is the change of a gas to a liquid. For example,water vapor in the air condenses into clouds and into dropletson cold surfaces such as a bathroom mirror. Boiling, condens-ing, freezing, and melting all are physical changes.

Another physical change is sublimation. Sublimation is thechange of a solid to a gas without becoming a liquid. One exam-ple of sublimation is the change of solid carbon dioxide—dryice—to gaseous carbon dioxide. Dry ice is used to keep thingscold.

For your job at the grocery store, you will need to considerchanges of state when organizing products. Some items must bekept frozen while others must be kept at room temperature.

Figure 8 When liquid nitrogenis poured from a flask, you see aninstant change to gas becausenitrogen’s boiling point is–195.8°C, which is much lowerthan room temperature.

Liquid nitrogen (below –195.8°C)

Nitrogen gas (above –195.8°C)

Using PhysicalProperties

In thepreviouspages,manyphysical properties were dis-cussed. These physical proper-ties—suchasappearance,state,shape, length, mass, volume,texture, density, melting point,boiling point, malleability, andductility—can be used to helpyou identify, separate, and clas-sify substances.

For example, salt can bedescribed as a white solid.Each salt crystal, if you look atit under a microscope, couldbe described as having a three-dimensional cubic structure.You can measure the density,melting point, and boilingpoint of a sample of salt. These physical properties can be usedto identify an unknown substance.

Sorting and Separating When you do laundry, you sortaccording to physical properties. Perhaps you sort by color.When you select a heat setting on an iron, you classify theclothes by the type of fabric. When miners during the GoldRush panned for gold, they separated the dirt and rocks by thedensity of the particles. Figure 9 shows a coin sorter that sepa-rates the coins based on their size. Iron filings can be separatedfrom sand by using a magnet.

Scientists who work with animals usephysical properties or characteristics

to determine the identity of a specimen. They do this by usinga system called a dichotomous (di KAH tuh mus) key. The term dichotomous refers to two parts or divisions. Part ofa dichotomous key for identifying hard-shelled crabs is shown on the next page in Figure 10. To begin the identifica-tion of your unknown animal, you are given two choices.Your animal will match only one of the choices. In the key inFigure 10, you are to determine whether or not your crab livesin a borrowed shell. Based on your answer, you are eitherdirected to another set of choices or given the name of thecrab you are identifying.

VISUALIZING DICHOTOMOUS KEYS

452 CHAPTER 15

Whether in the laboratory or in the field, scientists oftenencounter substances

or organisms that they cannot imme-diately identify. One approach totracking down the identity of such“unknowns” is to use a dichotomouskey, such as the one shown. The key is designed so a user can comparephysical properties or characteristicsof the unknown substance or organ-ism—in this case, a crab—with characteristics of known organisms ina stepwise manner. With each step, achoice must be made. Each choiceleads to subsequent steps that guidethe user through the key until a posi-tive identification is made.

A. Lives in a “borrowed” shell(usually some type of snail shell)

B. Does not live in a “borrowed” shell

A. Shell completely overlaps the walking legs

B. Walking legs are exposed

SummaryPhysical Properties

• Physical properties include color, shape,length, mass, volume, and density.

States of Matter

• There are four states of matter.

• Matter can change from one state of matterto another.

• State of matter is determined by how muchenergy the particles have.

Using Physical Properties

• Substances can be classified according to theirphysical properties.

5. Solve One-Step Equations Nickel has a density of9.8 g/cm3. Lead has a density of 11.3 g/cm3. If both sam-ples have a volume of 4 cm3, what are the massesof each?

Everyday Examples Identification by physical properties is asubject in science that is easy to observe in the real world. Supposeyou volunteer to help your friend choose a family pet. While vis-iting the local animal shelter, you spot a cute dog. The dog lookslike the one in Figure 11. You look at the sign on the cage. It saysthat the dog is male, one to two years old, and its breed isunknown. You and your friend wonder what breed of dog he is.What kind of information do you and your friend need to figureout the dog’s breed? First, you need a thorough description of thephysical properties of the dog. What does the dog look like?Second, you need to know the descriptions of various breeds ofdogs. Then you can match up the description of the dog with thecorrect breed. The dog you found is a white, medium-sized dogwith large black spots on his back. He also has black ears and ablack mask around his eyes. The manager of the shelter tells youthat the dog is close to full-grown. What breed is the dog?

Narrowing the Options To find out, you may need to researchthe various breeds of dogs and their descriptions. Often, determin-ing the identity of something that is unknown is easiest by usingthe process of elimination. You figure out all of the breeds the dogcan’t be. Then your list of possible breeds is smaller. Upon lookingat the descriptions of various breeds, you eliminate small dog andlarge dog breeds. You also eliminate breeds that do not containwhite dogs. With the remaining breeds, you might look at photosto see which ones most resemble your dog. Scientists use similarmethods to determine the identities of living and nonliving things.

Figure 11 Physical descriptionsare used to determine the identi-ties of unknown things. Observe What physical propertiescan be used to describe this dog?

Ability to ChangeIt is time to celebrate. You and your coworkers have cooper-

ated in classifying all of the products and setting up the shelvesin the new grocery store. The store manager agrees to a celebra-tion party and campfire at the nearby park. Several large piecesof firewood and some small pieces of kindling are needed tostart the campfire. After the campfire, all that remains of thewood is a small pile of ash. Where did the wood go? What prop-erty of the wood is responsible for this change?

All of the properties that you observed and used for classifi-cation in the first section were physical properties that you couldobserve easily. In addition, even when those properties changed,the identity of the object remained the same. Something differ-ent seems to have happened in the bonfire example.

Some properties do indicate a change of identity for the sub-stances involved. A chemical property is any characteristic thatgives a substance the ability to undergo a change that results ina new substance. Figure 12 shows some properties of substancesthat can be observed only as they undergo a chemical change.

What does a chemical property give a substancethe ability to do?

SECTION 2 Chemical Properties and Changes 455

Common Chemical PropertiesYou don’t have to be in a laboratory to see the changes that

take place because of chemical properties. These are called chem-ical changes. A chemical change is a change in the identity of asubstance due to the chemical properties of that substance. A newsubstance or substances are formed as a result of such a change.

The campfire you enjoyed to celebrate the opening of thegrocery store resulted in chemical changes. The oxygen in the airreacted with the wood to form a new substance called ash. Woodcan burn. This chemical property is called flammability. Someproducts have warnings on their labels about keeping themaway from heat and flame because of the flammability of thematerials. Sometimes after a campfire you see stones that didn’tburn around the edge of the ashes. These stones have the chem-ical property of being incombustible.

Common Reactions An unpainted iron gate, such as the oneshown in Figure 13, will rust in time. The rust is a result of oxy-gen in the air reacting with the iron and causing corrosion. Thecorrosion produces a new substance called iron oxide, alsoknown as rust. Other chemical reactions occur when metalsinteract with other elements. The middle photo shows tarnish,the grayish-brown film that develops on silver when it reactswith sulfur in the air. The ability to react with oxygen or sulfuris a chemical property. The photo on the right shows anotherexample of this chemical property.

Have you ever sliced an apple or banana and left it sitting onthe table? The brownish coloring that you notice is a chemicalchange that occurs between the fruit and the oxygen in the air.Those who work in the produce department at the grocery storemust be careful with any fruit they slice to use as samples.Although nothing is wrong with brown apples, they don’tlook appetizing.

An untreated iron gate will rust.

Figure 13 Many kinds of inter-actions with oxygen can occur.Copper sculptures develop a greenpatina, which is a mixture of cop-per compounds.

Enzyme ResearchResearchers have discov-ered an enzyme in fruitthat is involved in thebrowning process. They aredoing experiments to try togrow grapevines in whichthe level of this enzyme,polyphenol oxidase (PPO),is reduced. This couldresult in grapes that do notbrown as quickly. Write aparagraph in your ScienceJournal about why thiswould be helpful to fruitgrowers, store owners, andcustomers.

Silver dishes develop tarnish.

456 CHAPTER 15 Understanding Matter

Heat and Light Vitamins often are dispensed in dark-brownbottles. Do you know why? Many vitamins will change whenexposed to light. This is a chemical property. They are protectedin those colored bottles from undergoing a chemical changewith light.

Some substances are sensitive to heat and will undergo a chemical change when heated or cooled. One example is limestone. Limestone is generally unreactive. Some limestoneformations have been around for centuries without changing.However, if limestone is heated, it undergoes a chemical changeand produces carbon dioxide and lime, a chemical used in manyindustrial processes. The chemical property in this case is theability to change when heated.

Another chemical property is the ability to change with elec-trical contact. Electricity can cause a change in some substancesand decompose some compounds. Water is one of those com-pounds that can be separated into its components of hydrogenand oxygen using electricity.

Something NewThe important difference in a chemical change is that a

new substance is formed. Because of chemical changes, you can enjoy many things in life that you would not have experi-enced without them. What about that perfect, browned marsh-mallow you roasted at the campfire? A chemical changeoccurred as a result of the fire to make the taste and the

appearance different.Sugar is normally a white,

crystalline substance, but afteryou heat it over a flame, it turnsto a dark-brown caramel. Anew substance has beenformed. Sugar also can under-go a chemical change when sul-furic acid is added to it. Thenew substance has obviouslydifferent properties from theoriginal, as shown in Figure 14.

If eggs, sugar, flour, andother ingredients didn’t changechemically through baking, youcouldn’t enjoy birthday cake.Cake begins as liquid and endsas solid. The baked cake clearlyhas different properties.

Figure 14 When sugar and sulfuric acid combine, a chemicalchange occurs and a new sub-stance forms. During this reaction,the mixture foams and a toxic gasis released, leaving only water andair-filled carbon behind.

SECTION 2 Chemical Properties and Changes 457

Signs of Change How do you know that you have anew substance? Is it just because it looks different? Youcould put a salad in a blender and it would look differ-ent, but a chemical change would not have occurred.You still would have lettuce, carrots, and any other veg-etables that were there to begin with.

You can look for signs when evaluating whether youhave a new substance as a result of a chemical change.Look at the piece of birthday cake in Figure 15. When acake bakes, gas bubbles form and grow within the ingre-dients. Bubbles are a sign that a chemical change hastaken place. When you look closely at a piece of cake,you can see the airholes left from the bubbles.

Other signs of change include the production of heat, light,smoke, change in color, and sound. Which of these signs of changewould you have seen or heard during the campfire?

Is it reversible? One other way to determine whether aphysical change or a chemical change has occurred is to decidewhether or not you can reverse the change by simple physicalmeans. Physical changes usually can be reversed easily. Forexample, melted butter can become solid again if it is placed inthe refrigerator. A figure made of modeling clay, like the one inFigure 16, can be smashed to fit back into a container. However,chemical changes can’t be reversed using physical means. Forexample, the ashes in a fireplace cannot be put back together tomake the logs that you had to start with. Can you find the egg ina cake? Where is the white flour?

What kind of change can be reversed easily?

Figure 16 A change such asmolding clay can be undone easily.

Figure 15 The evidence of achemical change in the cake is theholes left by the air bubbles thatwere produced during baking.Identify other examples of achemical change.

Classifying According to Chemical PropertiesClassifying according to physical properties is often easier thanclassifying according to chemical properties. Table 1 summa-rizes the two kinds of properties. The physical properties of asubstance are easily observed, but the chemical properties can’tbe observed without changing the substance. However, once youknow the chemical properties, you can classify and identify mat-ter based on those properties. For example, if you try to burnwhat looks like a piece of wood but find that it won’t burn, youcan rule out the possibility that it is wood.

In a grocery store, the products sometimes are separatedaccording to their flammability or sensitivity to light or heat.You don’t often see the produce section in front of big windowswhere heat and light come in. The fruit and vegetables wouldundergo a chemical change and ripen too quickly. You alsowon’t find the lighter fluid and rubbing alcohol near the bakeryor other places where heat and flame could be present.

Architects and product designers have to take into accountthe chemical properties of materials when they design buildingsand merchandise. For example, children’s sleepwear and bed-ding can’t be made of a flammable fabric. Also, some of thearchitects designing the most modern buildings are choosingmaterials like titanium because it does not react with oxygen likemany other metals do.

The Law of Conservation of MassIt was so convenient to turn the firewood into the small pile

of ash left after the campfire. You began with many kilograms offlammable substances but ended up with just a few kilograms ofash. Could this be a solution to the problems with landfills andgarbage dumps? Why not burn all the trash? If you could makesuch a reduction without creating undesirable materials, thiswould be a great solution.

Mass Is Not Destroyed Before you celebrate your discov-ery, think this through. Did mass really disappear during thefire? It appears that way when you compare the mass of the pileof ashes to the mass of the firewood you started with. The law ofconservation of mass states that the mass of what you end withis always the same as the mass of what you start with.

This law was first investigated about 200 years ago, and manyinvestigations since then have proven it to be true. One experi-ment done by French scientist Antoine Lavoisier was a small ver-sion of a campfire. He determined that a fire does not makemass disappear or truly get rid of anything. The question, how-ever, remains. Where did the mass go? The ashes aren’t heavyenough to account for the mass of all of the pieces of firewood.

Where did the mass go? If you look at the campfire exam-ple more closely, you see that the law of conservation of mass istrue. When flammable materials burn, they combine with oxygen.Ash, smoke, and gases are produced. The smoke and gases escapeinto the air. If you could measure the mass of the oxygen and allof the original firewood that was burned and compare it to theremaining mass of the ash, smoke, and gas, they would be equal.

Do light sticks conserve mass?

Light sticks often are used onHalloween to light the way for trick-

or-treaters. They make children visibleto drivers. They also are used as toys,for camping, marking trails, emergencytraffic problems, and by the military.They work well underwater. A lightstick contains two chemicals in sepa-rate tubes. When you break the innertube, the two chemicals react produc-ing a greenish light. The chemicals arenot toxic, and they will not catch fire.

Identifying the Problem In all reactions that occur in the

world, mass is never lost or gained.This is the law of conservation of mass.An example of this phenomenon is thelight stick. How can you prove this?

Solving the Problem Describe how you could show that a

light stick does not gain or lose masswhen you allow the reaction to takeplace. Is this reaction a chemical orphysical change? What is your evidence?

Self Check1. Define What is a chemical property? Give four

examples.

2. Identify some of the signs that a chemical change hasoccurred.

3. Think Critically You see a bright flash and then flamesduring a class demonstration. Is this an example of aphysical change or a chemical change? Explain.

4. Solving One-Step Equations A student heats 4.00 g ofa blue compound, which reacts completely to produce2.56 g of a white compound and an unknown amountof colorless gas. What is the mass of this gas?

Figure 17 This reaction demon-strates the law of conservation ofmass. Although a chemical changehas occurred and new substanceswere made, the mass remainedconstant.

SummaryCommon Chemical Properties

• A new substance, or substances, form(s) as a result of a chemical change.

• Exposure to oxygen, heat, and light cancause chemical reactions.

Something New

• Physical changes can be reversed. Chemicalchanges cannot be reversed.

• Substances can be classified according totheir chemical properties.

The Law of Conservation of Mass

• Mass is not gained or lost during a chemi-cal reaction.

Before and After Mass is not destroyed or created duringany chemical change. The law of conservation of mass isdemonstrated in Figure 17. In the first photo, you see one sub-stance in the flask and a different substance contained in a testtube inside the flask. The total mass is 16.150 g. In the secondphoto, the flask is turned upside down. This allows the two sub-stances to mix and react. Because the flask is sealed, nothing isallowed to escape. In the third photo, the flask is placed on thebalance again and the total mass is determined to be 16.150 g. Ifno mass is lost or gained, what happens in a reaction? Instead ofdisappearing or appearing, the particles in the substancesrearrange into different combinations with different properties.

a smooth ride are characteristics to look forin an automobile. This car, developed byNippondenso, packs it all under a gold platedhood. At 4.78 mm long, this car is about the sizeof a grain of rice! Created to show the power andpotential of technology applied to unimaginablysmall objects, this car demonstrates a fraction ofthe knowledge scientists have gained in explor-ing matter on a very small scale.

Matter MilepostsPhilosophers and scientists have speculated

about the building blocks of matter for centuries.Around 425 B.C., the Greek Democritis used theterm “atomos” to describe the indivisible parti-cles making up matter of all types.

While early thinkers typically lacked the abil-ity to test their theories, later technologicaladvances applied to the study of matter movedscience from the realm of the philosophical tothe quantitative. In the 1700s, scientists experi-mented with gases, a type of matter difficult toconfine and hard to study. Their findings elimi-nated the last of the old Greek notions and laidthe foundation for modern chemistry.

It was the work of French scientist AntoineLavoisier (1743–1794) which earned him the title“Father of Modern Chemistry.” By focusing onmeasurable, quantifiable data, he forever changedthe way science was conducted. Lavoisier’s exper-

iments with gases led to the development of thelaw of conservation of mass, a cornerstone ofmodern chemistry which helps explain what hap-pens to matter during chemical change.

A Changing Road MapIn the 1930s, scientists used the first particle

accelerators to reveal the composition of theatom. These machines accelerate subatomic par-ticles, like electrons, to speeds close to the speedof light. Collisions at this speed cause these par-ticles to shatter, and provide the opportunity todetect and analyze the smaller particles whichcomprise them.

Once thought to be the smallest buildingblocks, the proton, neutron, and electron are nowjoined by other subatomic particles groups,including quarks. Scientists currently believe thequark is the most fundamental particle. Studyingparticles created in particle accelerators is difficultbecause most exist for less than a billionth of asecond.

As the technology behind these powerfulmachines advances, current hypotheses willundergo revision. Thenature of scientific study isto build upon and extend,while sometimes uprooting,commonly held theories.Experimentation to discoverthe building blocks of mat-ter is no exception.
