Study Notes

Phases of Matter

  • Matter typically exists in three primary phases: solid, liquid, and gas.
  • Each phase has distinct characteristics:
    • Solids maintain a fixed shape and volume.
    • Liquids adopt the shape of their container while retaining a fixed volume.
    • Gases conform to the shape of their container and occupy the volume of the container.

Phase Changes

  • Matter can transition between phases when heat or pressure is applied, resulting in a physical change.
  • A triangle illustrates the phase transitions, with plus and minus signs representing the addition or subtraction of heat.
  • Melting: Transition from solid to liquid due to heat addition (e.g., ice melting).
