Three states of
matter

2. A. States of matter
States of matter- The physical forms in
which a substance exist.
 -Solids, Liquids, Gases.


3. B. Solids
Solid- The state of matter that has a
definite shape and volume.
 Particles are very close together and
have a very strong attraction.
 A solids particles are very slow and
compacted together.
 Even though they move very slowly they
are never stopped. All particles
constantly vibrate.


4. B. Solids cont.
Ex.
- Desk
- Walls
- People
- Paper
- Cups


5. C. Liquids
Liquids- The state of matter that has a
definite volume but takes the same
shape of its container.
 These particles move just enough for
some particles to separate. They over
come the attraction.
 All liquids have surface tension.


6. C. Liquids cont.
Surface tension- A force that holds
together particles at the surface of a
liquid.
 The higher surface tension the more it
bubbles over.
 Viscosity- A liquids resistance to flow
 All liquids have viscosity.


7. C. Liquids cont.
Ex.
- When you pour water into a glass it
adapts to the shape of the cup. The SAME
liquid can be use in different containers
and they will have a different shape.
- Sprite - Tea
- Milk
- Blood

8. D. Gases
Gas- The state of matter that has no
definite shape or volume.
 These particles break free of their
attraction very easily because they
move so fast.
 Temperature can change the gases
volume.


9. D. Gases cont.
Ex.
- Farts
- Oxygen
- Hydrogen
- Smoke
- Helium

10. 1. Charles’s Law
Charles’s law states temperature
changes with volume.
 When the temperature goes down, the
volume goes down.
 When temperature goes up so does
volume.
