2. States of Matter Solid Liquid Gas

3. States of Matter How Do We Classify Them?
Based upon particle arrangement
Based upon energy of particles
Based upon distance between particles

4. States of Matter Solids
Particles of solids are tightly packed, vibrating about a fixed position.
Solids have a definite* shape and a definite* volume.

5. States of Matter Definite Means
It does not change based on its container
Example: Put a sneaker in a box. It stays the same.

7. States of Matter Liquids
Particles of liquids are tightly packed, but are far enough apart to slide over one another.
Liquids have an indefinite* shape and a definite volume.

8. Indefinite Means States of Matter It changes based on its container
Example: The same amount of liquid will have a different shape if it is poured into a skinny test tube or a short round Petri dish
