    Study Notes

    States of Matter

    • Matter exists in different states: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma
    • Each state exhibits specific properties due to particle arrangement, spacing and motion
    • Energy determines the state of matter and changes in energy lead to phase transitions

    Solids

    • Solids possess definite shape and volume
    • Particles in solids are tightly packed and vibrate in place
    • Solids are incompressible due to the close packing of particles
    • Crystalline solids have an ordered geometric arrangement of particles
    • Amorphous solids have randomly distributed particles with no long-range pattern

    Liquids

    • Liquids take the shape of their container, but have definite volume
    • Particles in liquids are loosely packed and flow around each other
    • Liquids are incompressible due to the close packing of particles
    • The ability of particles to move allows liquids to flow and take the shape of their container

    Gases

    • Gases expand to fill the entire space provided and do not have a definite volume
    • Particles in gases move freely and have high energy levels
    • Gases are compressible due to the empty space between particles
    • The free movement of particles allows gases to expand and fill containers

    Plasma

    • Plasma is a state of matter similar to gas but its particles are electrically charged
    • Plasma particles have extremely high energy levels
    • Examples of plasma include lightning, fluorescent lights, and neon signs

    Energy and Phase Transitions

    • Energy addition increases particle movement and the space between particles
    • Energy subtraction decreases particle movement
    • Adding energy to a solid can transform it into a liquid, often observed in melting
    • Adding energy to a liquid can transform it into a gas, often observed in boiling
