Study Notes
States of Matter
- Solid, liquid, and gas are the three primary states of matter.
Changes in State of Matter
- Changes in temperature or pressure can cause a change in state, such as melting, freezing, condensation, or evaporation.
Particle Arrangement in Solids
- In a solid, particles are tightly packed in a fixed, orderly arrangement, leading to a definite shape and volume.
Particle Behavior in Liquids
- Liquid particles are close together but can move past one another, allowing the liquid to flow.
Liquid Shape Adaptation
- A liquid adapts to the shape of its container due to the ability of its particles to move and rearrange while maintaining a consistent volume.
