Matter:

It’s what the world is made of.


What is matter?
 Matter is anything that has mass and
takes up space.
What do you know about matter?

Solids Gases
Liquids Plasma
STATES OF MATTER
 Based upon particle arrangement
 Based upon energy of particles
 Based upon distance between particles
Kinetic Theory of Matter
Matter is made up of particles which are in
continual random motion.
Solids
 Solids have definite shape
and definite volume.
 Solids have mass.
 Solids take up space.

Read more!
Particles in Solids:
 Are packed tightly together

 Have very little energy

 Vibrate in place
Liquids
 Liquids take the shape of
their container and have
definite volume.
 Liquids have mass.
 Liquids take up space.

Read more!
Particles in Liquids:
 Are loosely packed

 Have medium energy


levels

 Particles flow around


each other
Gases
 Gases spread out to
fill the entire space
given and do not have
definite volume.
 Gases have mass.
 Gases take up space.

Read more!
Particles in Gases:
 Move freely

 Have LOTS of energy


Plasma
 Lightning is a plasma.
 Used in fluorescent light
bulbs and Neon lights.
 Plasma is a lot like a gas,
but the particles are
electrically charged.

Read more!
Particles in Plasma:
 Are electrically
charged

 Have EXTREMELY high


energy levels
Some places where plasmas are found…

1. Flames
2. Lightning
3. Aurora (Northern Lights)
The Sun is an example of a star in its
plasma state
STATES of matter?

What would it take for matter to move


from one state to another?
Energy determines the state!
Add or Subtract Energy. . .

When energy is added, particles move faster!

When energy is taken away, particles move slower!


What will happen? Why?
Solid + Energy = ?

When energy is
added to solids, they
become liquids!

Examples?
Liquid + Energy = ?
When energy is
added to liquids,
they become gases!

What examples
can you think of?

Changing States
 There are several names for matter changing
states:

 State change

 Phase change

 Physical change
So, did we get something new?
 Ice cream and melted ice cream?
 Chocolate and melted chocolate?
 Ice, water, and water vapor?
 Steel and molten steel?
Review Questions
1. What state of matter has definite
volume and definite shape?
2. Describe the properties of liquids.
3. Describe the differences between
gases and plasma.
4. What is needed for states of matter to
change phase?
