Matter – anything that takes up space and has mass. • Matter does not have to be visible (air is Matter). • Matter is made up of: • Atoms Molecules Ions
Particles are in constant motion Each particle pulls other particles toward itself. The motion of the particles and the strength of attraction between the particles determine a material’s state of matter.
Three states of Matter Solid Liquid Gas Plasma Solids – matter that has a definite shape and volume. In a solid, the particles do not have enough energy to move out of their fixed positions.
Crystalline Solids – Particles are arranged in a repeating, three-dimensional pattern called a crystal. Amorphous Solids – Particles are found in a random arrangement. ex: Rubber Plastic Glass
Liquids – Matter that has a definite volume but no definite shape. (Liquid takes the shape of the container you pour it into). Viscosity – A liquid’s resistance to flow. The slower the liquid flows the higher the viscosity of the liquid. ex: Syrup has a high viscosity. Water has a low viscosity.
Surface Tension – The uneven forces acting on the particles on the surface of a liquid. Surface tension exists because the particles at the surface experience different forces than those at the center of the liquid. Particles beneath the surface of a liquid are pulled in all directions. Particles at the surface of a liquid are pulled toward the center of the liquid and sideways along the surface. Picture pg. 655
Gases – Matter that does not have a definite shape or volume. The particles in a gas are much farther apart that those in a liquid or solid. Particles move at high speeds in all directions. They will spread out evenly, as far apart as possible. A gas can expand or be compressed. Decreasing the volume of the container squeezes the gas particles closer together.
Vapor – Matter that exists in the gas state but is generally a liquid or solid at room temperature. Example: Water is a liquid at room temperature. Water vapor is the term for the gas state of water.
