States of Matter
Changing States
Substances change state due to a gain or loss of energy
Organisms get their energy from food
Particles get their energy from heat
Heating up particles gives them more energy to move
Cooling down particles gives them less energy so they move less
Melting
Occurs when a solid is heated (gains energy) and it changes to a liquid
Boiling
Occurs when a liquid is heated and it turns to a gas
Condensation
Where cooling a gas (removing energy) causes it to change to a liquid
Freezing
Happens when a liquid is cooled and changes into a solid
Melting point
Temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid
Boiling point
Temperature at which a liquid becomes a gas
Law of Conservation
Matter can not be created or destroyed, but can change from one form to another
Gases
Have no definite shape
They take the shape of the container
Have no definite volume
Always fill the container
Can be easily compressed
Particles free to move in all directions
Can flow
Liquids
Have no denfinite shape
They take the shape of the container
Have a definite volume
Not easily compressed
Particles are close to each other
Able to flow
Solids
Have a definite shape
Particles packed close together
Have a definite volume
Cannot be easily compressed
Cannot flow
All forms of matter is particles
Molcules
Atoms
The difference between the states is about how the particles move in relation to each other
Anything that occupies space and has mass
The amount of matter in an object has called, it's mass
Matter has 3 different forms
Gas
Solid
Liquid
