Study Notes
Properties of Matter
- Solid State: In solids, particles are closely packed, resulting in a definite volume and shape due to strong intermolecular forces.
Gaseous State Characteristics
- Gas Properties: Gases have no definite shape or volume; they expand to fill their container and have much weaker intermolecular forces than solids or liquids.
Kinetic Energy Changes
- Liquid to Gas Transition: As a substance transitions from liquid to gas (a process known as vaporization), the kinetic energy of its particles increases, allowing them to overcome intermolecular attractions.
Plasma State Example
- Plasma: An example of a substance in the plasma state is ionized gas, like that found in stars, including the sun, where atoms are stripped of their electrons.
