Question Answer
Solids ● Solids have definite shape and definite volume. ● Solids have mass. ● Solids take up space.
Particles in Solids ● Are packed tightly together ● Have very little energy ● Vibrate in place
Amorphous A solid in which the particles are not organized into a fixed pattern. Ex. glass, plastic and gel 
Crystalline A solid in which the particles are organized into a specific arraignment. Ex. Diamond
Liquids ● Liquids take the shape of their container and have definite volume. ● Liquids have mass. ● Liquids take up space.
Particles in Liquids ● Are loosely packed ● Have medium energy levels ● Particles flow around each other
Viscosity A liquids resistance to flow.
Surface Tension The force at the surface of a liquid that causes it to form droplets.
Gases Gases spread out to fill the entire space given and do not have definite volume. Gases have mass. Gases take up space.
Particles in Gases ● Move freely ● Have LOTS of energy
Plasma ● Lightning is a plasma. ● Used in fluorescent light bulbs and Neon lights. ● Plasma is a lot like a gas, but the particles are electrically charged.
Particles in Plasma ● Are electrically charged ● Have EXTREMELY high energy levels
Energy (photo)
Solid + Energy = ? ● When energy is added to solids, they become liquids!
Liquid + Energy = ? ● When energy is added to liquids, they become gases!
Changing States ● There are several names for matter changing states: ● State change ● Phase change ● Physical change
