Quarter 4
Module 4: Chemical Nature of Matter
Students begin their year in the Physical Science. In this last module, students will demonstrate their understanding of the
classification and properties of matter and the changes that matter undergoes. Students will differentiate between physical and
chemical changes which result from chemical reactions. Also, throughout Module 4, students will continue the examination of physical
properties of matter initiated in previous grades. Using this understanding of physical and chemical properties of matter, students will
develop an understanding of the classification of matter. Here students will also continue to extend their understanding and use of the
periodic table of elements while investigating the classification of matter.
7Se: The student will demonstrate an understanding of the classifications and properties of matter and the
changes that matter undergoes. (Physical Science)

composition.
Elements
Elements are pure substances that cannot be changed into
simpler substances.
Elements are composed of one kind of atom.
Compounds
Compounds are pure substances that are composed of two or
more types of elements that are chemically combined.
Compounds can only be changed into simpler substances called
elements by chemical changes (7Se.10).
One way that two or more atoms can combine is to form a
molecule.
Mixtures
Mixtures are composed of two or more different substances that
retain their own individual properties and are combined physically
(mixed together).
Mixtures can be separated by physical means (filtration, sifting, or
evaporation).
Mixtures may be heterogeneous or homogeneous.
o In a heterogeneous mixture, which is not uniform throughout,
the component substances can be visibly distinguished.
o In a homogeneous mixture, which is uniform throughout, the
substances are evenly mixed and cannot be visibly
distinguished. The particles of the substances are so small
that they cannot be easily seen. Another name for a
homogeneous mixture is a solution.
However, appropriate
assessments should
require students to
recognize the
classifications of
matter based on
composition;
exemplify matter
based on its
composition; illustrate
with words, pictures,
or diagrams
categories of matter;
infer the types of
matter based on
characteristics;
compare the types of
matter based on their
characteristics; or
summarize the
properties of the
three types of matter.

balanced equation.
There are two oxygen atoms on the reactant side (coefficient 2 x
(understood) subscript 1) and two oxygen atoms on the product
side ((understood coefficient 1 x subscript 2).
There are the same number of hydrogen atoms (4) and oxygen
atoms (2) on both sides of the equation; therefore, the equation is
said to be balanced.
Since there are the same number of each kind of atom on both
sides of the arrow and atoms represent kinds of matter, the
amount of matter is the same on both sides of the equation,
which supports the law of conservation of matter.
It is not essential for students to know how to determine coefficients to balance
chemical equations. They must only recognize that an equation is balanced. They do not
have to know how to create the chemical formulas for substances. They must only analyze
given formulas for common substances to determine the number of each component part.
Substances with polyatomic ions (for example, (NH4)2CO3 ammonium carbonate) as part
of their chemical formula are not the intent of this indicator.
Glencoe Alignment:
Melting Point
The temperature at which a solid can change to a liquid.
The temperature at which a pure substance melts is unchanging
under constant conditions.
Therefore, the melting point of a pure substance can be used as
a physical property for identification. Ice melts to form liquid water
at 00C (32oF).
Boiling Point
The temperature at which a liquid boils.
During the process of boiling a substance changes from a liquid
to a gas.
Boiling begins when the liquid starts to form bubbles throughout,
which grow larger, rise to the surface, and burst.
As long as the substance is boiling the temperature of the liquid
remains constant (at the boiling point).
However, appropriate
assessments should
also require students
to classify properties
as being physical or
chemical; exemplify
physical and
chemical properties
