Study Notes

Solid State

Has a definite shape, regardless of the container's shape and size
Takes up a definite amount of space
Particle movement is very limited, only vibrating in place
Shape and size only change when heated or crushed
Densest state of matter, except for water

Liquid State

Takes the shape of the container it's in
Molecules are far apart, moving more freely than in solids
Molecules have slightly higher energy than in solids, less than in gases
Density increases when it turns into a solid
Water is an exception, becoming less dense when it freezes

Gas State

Occupies any space it's placed in, with no specific shape
Molecules are in constant motion, spreading in every direction
Least cohesive and dense of the three states of matter

Description

Explore the distinctive characteristics and behaviors of solids, liquids, and gases. Learn about the limited movement of particles in solid state, the definite shape and volume of liquids, and the ability of gases to change shape and volume depending on their container.
