STATES OF MATTER

MATTER UNIT

MATTER•ANYTHING THAT HAS MASS AND TAKES UP SPACE.

KINETIC ENERGY•EXPLAINS HOW PARTICLE IN MATTER BEHAVE.ALL MATTER IS COMPOSED OF PARTICLESPARTICLES ARE IN CONSTANT, RANDOM MOTIONPARTICLES COLLIDE WITH EACH OTHER AND WALLS OF THE CONTAINERS.

STATES OF MATTERState Characteristics ParticlesSolid Definite shape and

definite volumeClosely packed in geometric arrangements

Liquid Indefinite shape and definite volume

Have more space and slide past each other

Gas Indefinite shape and indefinite volume

Have energy to spread out evenly in a container

Plasma High temperature gas Positively and negatively charged

THE STATE OF MATTER DEPENDS ON TEMPERATURE•TEMPERATURE RELATED TO THE AVERAGE KINETIC ENERGY OF AN OBJECTS ATOMS OR MOLECULES.•THERMAL EXPANSION INCREASE IN THE SIZE OF A SUBSTANCE WHEN THE TEMPERATURE INCREASES AND CONTRACTS WHEN COOLED.•EXCEPTION TO RULE: WATER-EXPANDS WHEN COOLED.
