MATTER

Anything that has mass

and takes up space.
Made up of small
particles called atom.

STATES OF MATTER
Solid
Particles in a solid are tightly packed
usually in a regular pattern.
Particles in a solid will vibrate but
cannot move past each other
Solid retains their shapes
Liquid
Particles in a liquid are close
together with no regular pattern
Particles in a liquid flow and can
easily move or slide past one
another
Liquids assume the shapes of their
container

Gases
Particles in a gas are well separated
with no regular pattern
Particles in a gas vibrate move freely
with high speeds
Gases assume the shape of their
container

Solid Melting Freezing

Liquid Vaporization
Condensation
Gas Ionization
Deionization Plasma
