Study Notes
States of Matter
- Matter is defined as anything that takes up space and has mass.
- Matter is made up of particles.
- Particles are in constant motion, and temperature affects their speed of motion.
- There are forces of attraction between the particles.
- Particles have empty/void spaces.
- Matter exists in different states: solid, liquid, gas, plasma, Bose-Einstein condensate, and possibly others.
- Each state has unique properties regarding particle arrangement, shape, volume, and kinetic energy.
- Matter in the universe, primarily plasma.
Solids
- Particles in solids are tightly packed, vibrating about fixed positions.
- Solids have a definite shape and a definite volume.
- Solids are difficult to compress.
- Solids have strong forces of attraction between particles.
- Solids have a high density.
- Particles in solids vibrate in their fixed position and have a very small amount of kinetic energy.
Liquids
- Particles in liquids are tightly packed, but far enough apart to slide over one another.
- Liquids take the shape of their container, but they have a definite volume.
- Liquids can be compressed slightly.
- Liquids have weaker forces of attraction between particles.
- Liquids have a medium density.
- Particles in liquids possess more kinetic energy than particles in solids.
Gases
- Particles in gases are very far apart and move freely.
- Gases take the shape and volume of their container.
- Gases are very easy to compress.
- Gases have very weak forces of attraction between particles.
- Gases have a low density.
- Particles in gases move around rapidly and have high kinetic energy.
Plasma
- Plasma is superheated matter, comprising over 99% of the visible universe.
- It is an electrically charged state of matter, existing when a gas is extremely heated or subjected to a strong magnetic field.
- Examples of plasma include flames, lightning, auroras, the sun, and solar wind.
- Plasmas have no definite shape or volume
Amorphous Solids
- Glass is an amorphous solid.
- Glass particles are not as organized as a solid crystal, but are more organized than a liquid.
- Glass is in a state between a liquid and a solid.
Fire
- Fire is a chemical reaction, not a state of matter.
- It's the visible product of a combustion reaction, needing fuel and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and release heat and light.
Other States of Matter
- Bose-Einstein condensate is a state of matter that can exist only at extremely low temperatures.
