Study Notes
Matter
- Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space.
Physical States of Matter
Solids
- Solids have a definite shape and volume.
- Solids do not flow.
- Particles in solids are closely packed and highly ordered.
- Particles in solids have restricted motion.
- Solids are generally incompressible.
- Most solids expand slightly when heated.
- Solids can exhibit high or low density.
Liquids
- Liquids have no definite shape, but they do have a definite volume.
- Liquids flow.
- Particles in liquids are relatively close to one another and moderately ordered.
- Liquids are incompressible.
- Liquids expand slightly when heated.
- Liquids can exhibit high or low density.
Gases
- Gases have no definite shape or volume.
- Gases flow.
- Particles in gases are independent and relatively far apart.
- Gases have low density.
- Gases are highly compressible.
- Gases expand greatly when heated.
