Matter, particles and properties

1

Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space

1

Matter is made up of elements, like fire, air and earth

1

There are states of matter. are the state with the lowest energy. The in a solid are fixed in place. Liquids have more energy, and the particles can flow over each other to take the shape of the container. Gases have the most . The particles are spread far apart, moving fast, and will move to take up as much space as possible.

High energy

Low energy

Particles are fixed in place

Particles flow over and around each othe

Particles vibrate in fixed positions

Particles spread as far as possible

1

To change the state of some matter, you should add or remove heat energy

1

Material is the word used for a particular type of matter

1

All materials have the same properties

1

Matter can change when you add or remove heat from it. Solids change into by melting, while liquids change into by freezing or solidifying. Liquids change into gases by , while gases change back into liquids by condensing. Though rare, solids can change directly into by sublimating. When they change back, it is reverse sublimation.
