Study Notes
States of Matter
- Solids have a fixed shape and volume.
- Liquids have a fixed volume but can change shape.
- Gases can change both shape and volume.
- All matter is composed of tiny, moving particles.
- The particles in a substance are the same, regardless of its state of matter (solid, liquid, or gas).
- A particle can be an atom or a molecule.
- Particles have different amounts of motion in each state of matter.
- Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
- The particles that make up matter have kinetic energy.
- The particles in all states of matter are in constant motion.
- Increased particle motion means increased kinetic energy.
- In solids, particles are tightly packed and vibrate in place.
- In liquids, particles can move past each other but maintain contact.
