States of Matter

Fluid: Anything that flows (liquid or gas). Examples include water, syrup, and compressed air.
Solids: Have a definite shape and volume. Particles are close together and vibrate in place.
Liquids: Have an indefinite shape but a definite volume. Particles are close together and flow freely.
Gases: Have an indefinite shape and volume. Particles are far apart and move randomly.

Changes of State

Evaporation: Liquid to gas.
Condensation: Gas to liquid.
Melting: Solid to liquid.
Solidification: Liquid to solid.
Sublimation: Solid to gas.
Deposition: Gas to solid.

Particle Theory of Matter

Matter is made of tiny particles.
Particles in the same substance are identical.
Particles are always moving.
Particles have spaces between them.
Particles are attracted to each other. Attraction strength depends on particle type.
Increased energy (heat) increases particle speed.
Reducing energy (cooling) decreases particle speed.

Viscosity

Viscosity is a liquid's resistance to flow (thickness/thinness).
Higher friction between particles = higher viscosity.
Flow rate = distance / time.

Factors Affecting Viscosity

Temperature: Higher temperatures reduce viscosity, as particles move faster and farther apart.
Concentration: Higher concentration means more particles in a given volume, potentially increasing viscosity.
Attractive Forces: Stronger attractive forces between particles generally increase viscosity.

Test your knowledge on the different states of matter and their properties. This quiz explores solids, liquids, gases, and the changes of state such as evaporation and condensation. Understand the particle theory of matter and how it relates to these states.
