Study Notes
The Three States of Matter
- Materials exist in three states: solids, liquids, and gases, known as the Three States of Matter.
- All materials are composed of tiny particles, which can be thought of as tiny balls.
Factors Affecting the State of Matter
- The state of matter (solid, liquid, or gas) depends on how strongly particles stick together.
- Three factors influence how well particles stick together:
- The material itself
- Temperature
- Pressure
Properties of Solids, Liquids, and Gases
- Solids, liquids, and gases can be identified by their distinct properties.
- Properties of substances refer to how they behave.
Properties of Solids
- Solids have a definite volume, meaning they take up a fixed amount of space.
- Solids have a definite shape.
Properties of Liquids
- Liquids have a definite volume, but their shape changes depending on their container.
- Liquids have an undefined shape.
Properties of Gases
- No specific mention is made of the properties of gases in the provided text.
