Study Notes
States of Matter
- Three primary forms of matter: solid, liquid, and gas.
- Matter transitions through various states dependent on temperature and pressure.
Phase Changes
- Condensation: Transition from gas to liquid.
- Evaporation: Transition from liquid to gas.
- Melting: Transition from solid to liquid.
- Freezing: Transition from liquid to solid.
Properties of Solids
- Solids have a definite shape and volume.
- Particle movement is restricted; they vibrate in place around fixed positions.
- A solid occupies the same amount of space consistently.
Properties of Liquids
- Liquids have a definite volume but no fixed shape, taking the shape of their container.
- Particles in liquids can slide past one another, allowing them to flow.
- Surface Tension: A property that enables liquid droplets to maintain shape and resist external forces.
Properties of Gases
- Gases have neither fixed shape nor fixed volume; they expand to fill their container.
- Gas particles are farther apart compared to those in solids and liquids, allowing for high mobility.
- Gases will spread out uniformly within a given space.
Temperature and Motion
- Increase in temperature causes matter particles to move faster, while a decrease causes them to move slower.
- Boiling Point: The temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas.
- Melting Point: The specific temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid.
Water-Specific Facts
- Water transitions from liquid to solid at 0 degrees Celsius (ice formation).
- The gas state of water is referred to as water vapor.
Basic Concepts
- Atoms: Fundamental building blocks of matter, consisting of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
- Overall, matter exists in three distinct states, each characterized by unique properties and behaviors.
