Today’s Agenda…9/28 Bellringer: Describe the physical properties of a basketball. Notes on Properties of Matter Venn Diagram on Solids, Liquids, and Gases

Properties of Matter Study Pack #4

Today’s Goals… I can describe the states of matter using their physical properties.

What is matter? Anything that has mass and takes up space Doesn’t have to be visible! Air is matter!

States of Matter Solid Liquid Gas Plasma

What is matter made of? All matter is made up of tiny particles The particles are constantly moving How the particles are arranged and how they move determines the state of matter

Solids Shape: Definite shape Volume: Definite volume stays the same no matter what container it is in Volume: Definite volume takes up the same amount of space no matter what container it is in

Solids Particle Arrangement: particles are packed closely together Not very much room to move Particle Movement: particles are vibrating in place Picture

Liquids Shape: No definite shape; takes on the shape of its container Volume: Definite volume takes up the same amount of space no matter what container it is in

Liquids Particle Arrangement: particles have more space between them than solids Particle Movement: particles are free to move around each other; liquids flow Picture

Gases Shape: No definite shape; takes on the shape of its container Volume: No definite volume; takes up all the space in the container

Gases Particle Arrangement: particles are very far apart Particle Movement: particles move very quickly in all directions Picture
