States of Matter
2
Let’s review matter… Matter is anything that takes up space & has mass. It occurs in three states: Solid Liquid Gas
3
Solids definite shape and definite volume. The particles are in a tight, regular pattern. The particles are close together and vibrate A solid does not take the shape of a container in which it is placed. 2 types: Crystalline – orderly, 3D arrangement of particles Amorphous – particles are in no particular order
4
Liquid definite volume but no definite shape. Particles slide past each other to take the shape of the container. Particles are further apart, and can move freely
5
Gas No definite shape, no definite volume. The particles in gas are much farther apart than those in a liquid or solid. Gas particles move at high speeds in all directions.
6
Plasma No definite shape, no definite volume. Particles move freely in all directions smashing into each other breaking particles apart Examples in nature: Lightning Aurora Borealis
