What is Matter?
Everything that has mass and volume is called matter.
Basic definition of matter.

3. States of Matter
Solids
Liquids
Gases
Plasma
Others

4. On earth we live upon an island of "ordinary" matter
On earth we live upon an island of "ordinary" matter. The different states of matter generally found on earth are solid, liquid, and gas. We have learned to work, play, and rest using these familiar states of matter. Sir William Crookes, an English physicist, identified a fourth state of matter, now called plasma, in 1879.
Plasma

5. Plasma Plasma is by far the most common form of matter.
Plasma exists in the stars
and in the space in
between them
This means that plasma
makes up over 99% of
the visible universe and
perhaps most of that
which is not visible.

6. Kinetic Theory of Motion
All matter is composed of small particles (atoms and molecules).
They are in constant, random motion.
They constantly collide with each other and with the walls of their container.

8. Properties of Each State of Matter

9. Solids Have a definite shape volume Molecules are held
close together and
there is very little
movement between
them.

10. Liquids Have an indefinite shape Have a definite volume
Atoms and molecules
have more space between
them than a solid does,
but less than a gas (ie. It
is more “fluid”)

11. Gases Have an indefinite shape volume Molecules are moving in random
patterns with varying
amounts of distance
between the
particles.
