Study Notes
- Three common states of matter are solids, liquids, and gases, with particles arranged differently in each state.
- Solids are hard to compress, have a fixed shape, and particles are packed together with almost no spaces between them.
- Liquids are also hard to compress, take the shape of their container, and flow from place to place due to particles being close together but able to move.
- Gases are easy to compress, spread out to fill their container, and have widely spaced particles that move quickly and randomly.
- Changing the state of a substance involves putting in or taking out energy, like melting (solid to liquid), boiling (liquid to gas), and condensing (gas to liquid), with the amount of energy needed influenced by the strength of forces of attraction between particles.
