Introduction to Matter: Properties, States, and Changes

Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass, and can be classified into three states: solid, liquid, and gas.
The particles in a solid are closely packed and have fixed positions, while those in a liquid can move past one another, and those in a gas are widely spaced and move freely.
Particles of matter are in constant motion and possess kinetic energy, which increases with an increase in temperature.
The interparticle forces of attraction are strongest in solids and weakest in gases, while the interparticle spaces are maximum in gases and minimum in solids.
Solids have a definite shape and volume, liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of the container they are poured into, and gases have neither a definite shape nor volume and completely fill the container they are placed in.
Matter can change its state by the addition or removal of heat energy through processes like melting, vaporization, and condensation, and the reverse processes are freezing, condensation, and sublimation.
Evaporation is the process in which a liquid changes into a gas at a temperature below its boiling point, and factors affecting evaporation include temperature, surface area, humidity, and wind speed.
Evaporation causes a cooling effect because the particles with higher kinetic energy leave the surface, leading to a decrease in temperature.
Sublimation is the process in which a solid directly changes into a gas without going through the liquid state, and some examples of substances that undergo sublimation are camphor, naphthalene, and dry ice.
Diffusion is the process in which particles of a substance move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration due to the random motion of particles, and factors affecting diffusion include temperature, pressure, and concentration gradient.
The effect of pressure on gases is described by Boyle's law, which states that the pressure of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to its volume, provided the temperature remains constant.
The effect of temperature on matter is described by Charles's law, which states that the volume of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to its temperature, provided the pressure remains constant, and the change of state of matter involves the absorption or release of latent heat.
