Physical properties of matter

  • Solid is a state of matter characterized by a fixed shape and volume.
  • In the liquid phase, the particles can move around and take the shape of their container, but the volume remains constant.
  • Matter in the solid phase has a fixed volume and shape, and the particles are packed closely together.
  • A substance's state depends on its temperature, pressure, and volume.
  • Gases have no fixed volume or shape, and the particles move freely and independently, filling their entire container.
  • Liquid is a state of matter that takes the shape of its container but maintains a constant volume.
  • Gas is a state of matter with no definite shape or volume, expanding to fill any space available.
  • Plasma is an ionized gas consisting of charged particles moving freely through space.
  • The gaseous phase has no definite shape or volume, with particles moving freely and colliding with one another.
  • The kinetic energy of molecules in solids is low due to strong intermolecular forces between them.
  • The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.
  • Solid is a state of matter where particles vibrate in place without moving from one location to another.
  • The three states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) can be interconverted by changing one or more of these factors.
  • Liquid is a state of matter where the particles have enough energy to move freely past one another, but they still remain close together.
  • In liquids, particles are close together and vibrate around a fixed position, while in solids, they are arranged in a regular pattern and do not change positions.
  • Gas is a state of matter where particles have high kinetic energy and move freely with no definite shape or volume.
  • In liquids, there are weak intermolecular forces between molecules, allowing them to slide past each other easily.
  • Solids have high density and do not flow like liquids or expand like gases.
  • Changes between different states of matter occur at specific temperatures called melting points and boiling points.
  • Both solids and liquids have a definite volume, while gases do not.
  • Changes between these states occur at specific temperatures called melting points (solid to liquid) and boiling points (liquid to gas).
  • Solid-to-liquid transition occurs when heat energy causes molecules to vibrate faster and break free from their positions, resulting in a change in physical appearance.
  • Solids have a definite shape and volume, with particles held tightly together by strong forces.
  • Gas is a state of matter with no definite shape or volume, as the particles are free to move independently from one another.
  • Liquid is a state of matter where particles have medium kinetic energy and flow like water.
  • Melting point is the temperature at which a substance changes from solid to liquid.
  • Increasing temperature causes solids to melt into liquids and then boil into gases.
  • In gases, there are very few intermolecular forces between molecules, resulting in high kinetic energies and random motion.
  • Heat energy causes changes in the arrangement of atoms/molecules within substances, leading to transitions from one state of matter to another.
  • Gas is a state of matter where the particles have high kinetic energy and move rapidly in all directions.
  • Heat energy causes changes in the arrangement of atoms/molecules within substances, leading to different physical states.
  • Gas is a state of matter where particles have high kinetic energy and move rapidly in all directions.
  • Particles in gases are far apart compared to those in solids and liquids.
  • Liquid-to-gas transition occurs when enough thermal energy is added to overcome the forces holding atoms/molecules together, causing them to separate into individual units and expand.
