States of Matter
- Solids have particles that are held in rigid positions but can vibrate.
- Gases have particles with high kinetic energy that overcomes their attractive forces.
- Water is a common example of a substance that can exist in all three main states of matter: solid (ice), liquid (drinking water), and gas (water vapor).
- Liquids are characterized by particles that can only move in short distances.
- Solids and liquids are referred to as the condensed states of matter based on the Kinetic Molecular Theory of Matter.
