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
