    Solid State

    A state of matter with a definite shape and volume.

    Solid Particles

    Particles in a solid are close together, in a regular arrangement, with strong attractive forces (IMFs).

    Liquid State

    A state of matter with a definite volume but takes the shape of its container.

    Liquid Particles

    Particles in a liquid are close together but can move past each other, with weaker attractive forces than solids.

    Study Notes

    States of Matter

    • Matter exists in three primary states: solids, liquids, and gases.
    • There are other states, including plasma and Bose-Einstein condensates.
    • Solids have a definite shape and volume.
    • Solid particles are closely packed in a regular arrangement.
    • The strong intermolecular forces (IMFs) in solids restrict particle movement to mainly vibrational motion.
    • Solids are incompressible.

    Liquids

    • Liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container.
    • Liquid particles are closer together than gas particles but further apart than solid particles.
    • Liquids have weaker IMFs than solids.
    • Liquids can vibrate and slide past each other (translation).
    • Liquids are incompressible.

    Gases

    • Gases take both the shape and volume of their container.
    • Gas particles are widely dispersed.
    • Gas particles have very weak IMFs.
    • Gas particles move in constant, random motion and collide with each other and container walls.
    • Gases are compressible.

    Phase Changes

    • Phase changes are physical changes, not chemical changes.
    • The material remains the same chemically during phase changes.
    • Examples of phase changes include melting, freezing, vaporization (boiling), condensation, sublimation, and deposition.
    • Energy (heat) is either absorbed or released during phase changes.
    • Kinetic energy describes the energy of motion in particles.
    • Temperature measures the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance.
    • Pressure changes can also cause phase changes.
