sates of matter and phase change

States of Matter

States of Matter

State of Matter are a Physical Property.

The state of matter is a Physical Property because the actual substance doesn't change what it
is, only the form changes.

Mass - The amount of matter in an object has

Volume - Amount a space it take us

A state of matter is one of the distinct forms in which matter can exist.

Four states of matter are observable in everyday life:

●Solid

●Liquid

●Gas

●Plasma.

Solid

●Solids have a definite or fixed
shape and volume.

●Particles in a solid are tightly
packed and vibrate in place.

●They do not easily flow around
each other

●Solids have a fixed mass and
volume.

Liquids

●Liquids have a definite volume but
and NO definite shape or form.

○take the shape of their container.

●Particles in a liquid are close
together but can move around each
other.

●Liquids have a fixed mass but their
volume can change slightly with
temperature.

●In a liquid, the particles are already
close together, so it is not easily
compressed.

Gases

●Gases have no definite shape or volume.

○They expand to fill their container.

●Particles in a gas are far apart and move
freely.

○Most energy

●Gases have a fixed mass but their volume
changes easily with temperature and
pressure.

●When a gas is put under pressure by
reducing the volume of the container, the
space between particles is reduced and the
gas is compressed.

Plasma

●Plasma is not a common state of matter
here on Earth,

○ most common state of matter in the
universe.

●Plasma is a superheated matter where
atoms are ionized. It's the most common
state of matter in the universe.

●highly charged gas particles electrical
charges with extremely highest kinetic
energy(energy in motion).

●Plasma has mass and its volume is affected
by magnetic and electric fields.

Changes of States

●Matter can’t become something new

○Can only change its State (form).

●State of matter change due to Temperature.

○Delta

●Delta positive change adds heat

○Ice to melt to water

● Adding releasing or taking heat can change

●matter into a new

●Delta negative change removes heat

○ water becomes Ice.
