properties of matter

  • Plasmas are ionized gases with high temperatures and electric currents flowing through them.
  • Solids have fixed shapes and volumes, while liquids can change shape but not volume.
  • Gases have neither fixed shape nor volume.
  • The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas/plasma.
  • Solids are hard and do not flow or change their shape easily, while liquids can take on different shapes depending on the container they're in.
  • As temperature increases and particles gain energy, they begin to vibrate more freely and can slide past each other, changing the shape to fit a container. This liquid state has a fixed volume but takes the shape of its container.
  • A solid has a definite shape, while a liquid does not have a definite shape but takes on the shape of its container.
  • At low temperatures, the particles in matter lack energy and vibrate in a fixed position within an allotted space. This results in a rigid structure with tightly packed particles, which is known as a solid.
  • Matter can exist in the solid, liquid, or gas state depending on the energy and temperatures.
  • The boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid turns into gas.
  • Volume refers to the space occupied by an object.
  • Objects with the same shape but different densities will have different masses if they are made from materials with different densities.
  • The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.
  • Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.
  • The three states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) differ based on the strength of intermolecular forces between particles.
  • Changes between the different states of matter occur at specific temperature ranges called melting points (solid to liquid) and boiling points (liquid to gas).
  • Melting point is the temperature at which a substance changes from solid to liquid state.
  • Boiling point is the temperature at which a substance changes from liquid to gas state.
  • Gases fill up any space available to them and can be compressed into smaller spaces.
  • Changes between these states occur at specific temperature ranges called melting points (solid to liquid) and boiling points (liquid to gas).
  • Melting point is the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid state to a liquid state.
  • Increasing the amount of heat added to solids causes them to melt into liquids.
  • Liquid molecules move around randomly and collide frequently due to thermal motion.
  • Particles in solids are tightly packed together due to strong intermolecular forces, resulting in a rigid structure that does not change shape unless forced by an external force.
