Study Notes

Matter

Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass.

States of Matter

Matter can be classified based on its physical state, which describes its rigidity, compressibility, and ability to flow:
- Solid: Rigid, incompressible, does not flow easily.
- Liquid: Not rigid, relatively incompressible, flows easily.
- Gas: Not rigid, compressible, flows easily.

Crystalline vs. Amorphous Solids

Crystalline solids: Have a highly ordered arrangement of atoms or molecules in a repeating pattern. This results in a defined shape and melting point.
Amorphous solids: Have a disordered arrangement of atoms or molecules. They lack a defined shape, and their melting point is not distinct and occurs over a range of temperatures.

Characteristics of Liquids

Fluidity: Liquids flow readily, as the particles composing liquids can move past each other.
