Classifying Matter by State02:49

Classifying Matter by State

104.8K
Chemistry is the study of matter and the changes it undergoes. Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. Matter is all around us; the air, water, soil, mountains, even our bodies are all examples of matter. Matter is divided into three states — solid, liquid, and gas — that are commonly found on earth. The fourth state of matter, plasma, occurs naturally in the interiors of stars.

Matter: Pure Substances and Mixtures
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures. 
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated. 
A mixture is composed of two or...

What is Matter?

103.9K
The substance of the universe—from a grain of sand to a star—is called matter. Scientists define matter as anything that occupies space and has mass. An object’s mass and its weight are related concepts, but not quite the same. An object’s mass is the amount of matter contained in the object and is the same whether that object is on Earth or in the zero-gravity environment of outer space. An object’s weight, on the other hand, is its mass as affected by the pull of...

The Atomic Theory of Matter

130.3K
The earliest recorded discussion of the basic structure of matter comes from ancient Greek philosophers. Leucippus and Democritus argued that all matter was composed of small, finite particles that they called atomos, meaning “indivisible.” Later, Aristotle and others came to the conclusion that matter consisted of various combinations of the four “elements” — fire, earth, air, and water — and could be infinitely divided. Interestingly, these philosophers...

States of Matter

Solids, liquids, and gases are the three states of matter commonly found on Earth. A solid is rigid and possesses a definite shape. A liquid flows and takes the shape of its container, except it forms a flat or slightly curved upper surface when acted upon by gravity. Both liquid and solid samples have volumes nearly independent of pressure. A gas takes both the shape and volume of its container.

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Science
  • Plant Breeding
  • Agronomy

Background:

  • Cassava is vital to Colombia's Caribbean Coast economy.
  • Production seasonality and declining dry matter content (DMC) beyond 10-12 months after planting (MAP) challenge cassava farmers and processors.
  • Developing varieties with stable DMC for extended harvest is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Evaluate experimental cassava genotypes and commercial checks for traits relevant to extended harvest.
  • Identify genotypes with stable dry matter content (DMC) across multiple harvest ages.
  • Assess the potential of improved germplasm to mitigate seasonality issues in cassava production.

Main Methods:

  • Multi-location trials were conducted across Colombia's Caribbean Coast.
  • Evaluated cassava genotypes and commercial checks at 10, 14, and 18 MAP.
  • Assessed traits including sprouting, plant height, yield, root rot, lodging, and dry matter content (DMC).

Main Results:

  • Genotype SM2828-28 demonstrated favorable agronomic traits and low susceptibility to diseases/lodging.
  • SM2828-28 exhibited stable dry matter content (DMC) across extended harvest ages (10, 14, 18 MAP).
  • Dry matter content (DMC) stability is influenced by genetic factors.

Conclusions:

  • Genotype SM2828-28 is a promising candidate for cassava breeding programs aimed at extending harvest periods.
  • Stable DMC through genetic improvement can enhance farmer income and processing efficiency.
  • Targeted breeding for DMC stability is feasible, though research presents logistical challenges.
