Matter
States
Solid
In the solid phase the molecules are closely bound to one another by molecular forces. A solid holds its shape and the volume of a solid is fixed by the shape of the solid.
Stable lattice
Liquid
In the liquid phase the molecular forces are weaker than in a solid. A liquid will take the shape of its container with a free surface in a gravitational field. In microgravity, a liquid forms a ball inside a free surface. Regardless of gravity, a liquid has a fixed volume.
Gas
In the gas phase the molecular forces are very weak. A gas fills its container, taking both the shape and the volume of the container
The kinetic theory of matter
Solids have the lowest kinetic energy so vibrate very little.
The reason why solid have low kinetic is because for solids, the rigid nature of the lattices the particles are in restricts their kinetic energy from affecting much of the average motion in the solid.
Liquids have more kinetic energy so particles slide past each other.
If you add heat energy to a liquid, the particles will move faster around each other as their kinetic energy increases. Some of these particles will have enough kinetic energy to break their liquid bonds and escape as a gas
Gases have the most kinetic energy so fly around in the air.
(1) are constantly moving; (2) have negligible volume; (3) have negligible intermolecular forces; (4) undergo perfectly elastic collisions; and (5) have an average kinetic energy proportional to the ideal gas's absolute temperature.
Diffusion
Diffusion is the movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
Only happens to liquid and gas because their particles move randomly from place to place
Example
noxious smell of ammonia gas spreads in air
Definition
Everything that takes up space and has mass is matter
All matter is made up of atoms, which are in turn made up of protons, neutrons and electrons.
Properties
The properties of matter include any traits that can be measured, such as an object's density, colour, mass, volume, length, malleability, melting point, hardness, odor, temperature, and more.
