States of Matter Study Guide

 This is the lowest energy state with the coolest temperatures.  Atoms vibrate with energy, but do not move around each other.

• Solid

• Liquid

• Gas

• Plasma

• Bose-Einstein Condensate:

Atoms have higher energy levels with medium temperatures. Atoms vibrate quickly and move at hundreds of miles per.

have no “fixed shape”.  They take the shape of their containers.  

• Solid

• Liquid

• Gas

• Plasma

• Bose-Einstein Condensate:

Atoms move rapidly at high speeds. 

Atoms have no fixed volume or shape, they move around in all directions in their containers.

• Solid

• Liquid

• Gas

• Plasma

• Bose-Einstein Condensate:

 Have the highest energy levels.  The electrons roam freely transferring great levels of energy.  The atom is still one undivided unit with a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, but the electrons are sheared off by high energy levels. 

occur in lightning, fluorescent lights, and stars.

• Solid

• Liquid

• Gas

• Plasma

• Bose-Einstein Condensate:

 Exists at the lowest temperatures which forces all elements, even gasses, into a frozen solid. The temperature is so low that the atoms have almost stopped their vibrational movement. Elements move so slowly that we can now observe them in slow motion as they join to make molecules
