 What is a Matter?
Matter is anything that
occupies space and has
mass.
 What is a Matter?
Matter can be classified
as solid, liquid or gas.
 Particle theory of matter
- states that all matter is
made up of tiny particles that
are in constant, random
motion
 Particle theory of matter
• describes the phases of matter
• explains the differences in the
properties of solids, liquids, and
gases
• explains the changes of phases
Phases of matter
 the solid phase
• What can you say about the arrangement
of particles in a solid? (closely packed,
near, far)
• Can you infer that solid particles move?
(yes, no)
• How? (by vibrating, by flowing)
 the solid phase
Space between particles closely packed together
Interparticle force very strong
Movement of particles cannot move freely;
vibrate in position
Size and Shape definite
Volume definite
Compressibility hard to compress or deform
 CLASSIFICATIONS:
AMORPHOUS SOLIDS Crystalline solids
• contain particles that are randomly • contain particles that are arranged orderly
arranged Ex. diamond, table salt
Ex. rubber, plastics, glass
 the LIQUID
phase
• What can you say about the arrangement
of particles in a liquid? (closely packed,
near, far)
• Can you infer that liquid particles move?
(yes, no)
• How? (by vibrating, by flowing)
 the LIQUID
Interparticle force phase
Space between particles slightly far from each other
weaker than solids
Movement of particles can move freely;
can flow easily
Shape takes the shape of its container
Volume definite
Compressibility hard to compress
 the GAS phase
• What can you say about the arrangement
of particles in a gas? (closely packed,
near, far)
• Can you infer that gas particles move?
(yes, no)
• How? (by vibrating, by flowing)
 the GAS phase
Space between particles very far from each other
Interparticle force very weak
Movement of particles can move freely;
can flow easily
Shape takes the shape of its container
Volume indefinite
Compressibility can be compressed
