2. THE STATES (Phases) OF MATTER Lindsay Mulligan LRC 320 Final Project Lindsay Mulligan LRC 320 Final Project

3. What is Matter?  Matter is everything around you. It is anything made of atoms and molecules. Matter is anything that has a mass.

4. What are the phases of Matter?  There are 3 phases of matter  SOLID ( rocks, wood, ice)  LIQUID (water, lava, things to drink)  GAS (air, steam)  There are 3 phases of matter  SOLID ( rocks, wood, ice)  LIQUID (water, lava, things to drink)  GAS (air, steam)

5. What are each made out of?  Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of atoms, molecules, and/or ions, but the behaviors of these particles differ in the three phases. The following figure illustrates the microscopic differences. Gas Liquid Solid  Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of atoms, molecules, and/or ions, but the behaviors of these particles differ in the three phases.

6. Here is the periodic table of elements. Each is color coded to show which element is a solid liquid or gas…

7. PROPERTIES The states of matter each are observed by a set of properties and can clearly be recognized by their unique differences The properties are: Density The mass of matter divided by it’s volume Shape Is it a fixed shape, or has it taken the shape of the container? Compressibility If we apply pressure, does the volume decrease? Thermal expansion How much does the volume change when heated?
