Matter and its properties - Has weight — has relation to the gravity — SI unit is kg — gravity = 9.81 N multiplied by weight - Occupies space - Has mass - Has volume - Molecules - Solid, liquid, gas, plasma Solid - Has fixed shape - Organized arrangement of molecules - Highly rigid — because of the intermolecular forces of attraction present in the solid - Compressed particles - Sound travels the fastest — the particles are close together, vibrations / energy travel faster - Doesnt flow - Slow diffusion — type of transport were materials move from high to low concentration - Definite interparticle force — the force of attraction exerted between particles Liquid - No definite shape / acquires the shape of the container - Gaps between particles - Less rigid - Fixed volume - Scattered particles - Can flow - Fast diffusion - Slightly weaker interparticle force than a solid material - Almost negligible compressibility Gas - No definite shape / acquires the shape of the container - No fixed volume - Bigger space between particles - Scattered particles - Not rigid - Very fast diffusion - Negligible interparticle force
