states of matter
-
liquid
substance flow
-
When a substance changes from the gas state to the liquid state, the particles in the gas move more slowly. They get closer until they are touching, forming liquid. The substance has condensed.
-
solid state
In the solid state, the particles touch each other. The particles are in fixed positions in a regular pattern. The particles vibrate on the spot. The particles hold together strongly.
liquid state
In the liquid state, the particles touch each other. They are not in a pattern. The particles move around randomly, sliding over each other. The particles hold together strongly.
gas state
In the gas state, the particles are far apart. They are not in a pattern. The particles move around very fast, in all directions. The particles do not hold together strongly
-
When a substance changes from one state to another, its particles stay the same. They do not change. The things that change are:
-
-
-
particles
A material that has one type of matter is called a substance. The properties of a substance describe what it is like and what it does.
-
boiling
When you heat liquid water, bubbles of steam form everywhere in the liquid. In liquid water, the particles are touching each other. Inside the bubbles, the particles are spread out. The bubbles rise to the surface and escape. The
water is boiling.
Condensing or condensation is the change of state from gas to liquid. A gas condenses at any temperature below its boiling point.
-
Evaporating or evaporation is the change of state from liquid to gas that can happen at any temperature.
