Matter States of Matter Changes in matter
States of Matter • Solid • Liquid • Gas
Solids Microscopic view of a solid • Definite volume • Definite shape • Atoms are packed together if fixed positions • Strong attractive forces between atoms • Only vibrate in place
Liquids Microscopic view of a liquid • Definite volume • Indefinite shape • Atoms are close together • Atoms can overcome attractive forces to flow
Microscopic view of a gas Gases • Indefinite volume and shape • Atoms move very fast • Atoms are far apart • Weak attractive forces
Changes in Matter Physical Change Chemical Change
Physical change • change in a substance that doesn’t change the identity of the substance • Example: Includes all changes in the state of matter (physical changes of a substance from one state to another) • Grinding • cutting • Melting • boiling
Changes in the state of matter deposition
Chemical change • a change in which a substance is converted into a different substance • same as chemical reaction • doesn’t change the amount of matter present
Signs of a chemical change • Energy is absorbed or given off (change in temperature) • change in color or odor • production of gas • Irreversible
Chemical or Physical Change? physical • Water boils • Salt dissolves in water • Milk spoils • A metal chair rusts • Paper is torn • A tree burns down physical chemical chemical physical chemical
