1. Chapter 1
States of Matter

2. Four States of Matter Solids KE = kinetic energy
very low KE - particles vibrate but can’t move around
fixed shape
fixed volume
KE = kinetic energy

3. Four States of Matter Liquids
low KE - particles can move around but are still close together
variable shape
fixed volume

4. Four States of Matter Gases
high KE - particles can separate and move throughout container
variable shape and volume

5. Four States of Matter Plasma
High temperature physical state of matter in which atoms lose most of their electrons; is considered a fourth state of matter
Exists in the sun and other stars
