Which of the following are states of matter? (Select all that apply)
Plasma
Solids have a definite shape and volume.
True
In solids, particles are tightly packed and only __________ in place.
vibrate
Match each state of matter with its description:
Solids = Definite shape and volume, particles tightly packed Liquids = Definite volume but no fixed shape, particles can move past each other Gases = No fixed shape or volume, particles far apart and move freely Plasma = High-energy state with ionized particles, found in stars and neon lights
Study Notes
Introduction to Matter
- Matter is anything with mass and occupies space, making up everything around us.
- Understanding matter is essential to understanding our physical world.
States of Matter
- Solids: Have a definite shape and volume, with particles tightly packed and vibrating in place.
- Liquids: Have a definite volume but no fixed shape, with particles close together and able to move past each other.
- Gases: Have no fixed shape or volume, with particles far apart and moving freely.
- Plasma: High-energy state with ionized particles, found in stars and neon lights.
Properties of Each State
- Shape and Volume: Solids have a fixed shape and volume, liquids have a fixed volume but no shape, and gases have neither.
- Particle Arrangement: Solids have tightly packed particles, liquids have close particles, and gases have far-apart particles.
- Movement of Particles: Solids have vibrating particles, liquids have particles that can move past each other, and gases have freely moving particles.
Changes in States of Matter
- Melting: Changing from solid to liquid.
- Freezing: Changing from liquid to solid.
- Evaporation: Changing from liquid to gas.
- Condensation: Changing from gas to liquid.
- Sublimation: Changing from solid to gas or vice versa.
Examples and Applications
- Everyday Examples: Solids (rocks, tables), liquids (water, oil), gases (air, helium), and plasma (stars, neon lights).
- Real-life Applications: Solids (construction), liquids (transportation), gases (balloons), and plasma (medical tools).
Interesting Facts
- Non-Newtonian Fluids: Liquids that change viscosity when force is applied.
- Fun Experiments: Demonstrating properties of matter, such as creating a lava lamp or making slime.
