States of Matter • Solid • Liquid • Gas • Plasma
Kinetic Molecular Theory all matter is composed of small particles these particles are in constant motion
Solid • Definite volume • Definite shape • Particles closely packed together • Strong attractive • forces • Very low KE
Liquid • Definite volume, but takes the shape its container • Particles close together • and mobile • Low KE
Gas • No definite volume • No definite shape • Particles spaced • far apart • Attractive forces • much weaker • High KE
Microscopic view of a gas • Microscopic view of a liquid • Microscopic view of a solid
Plasma • Gas-like • Very high KE • Collide with enough energy to break into charged particles
