 States of Matters

There are 3 states of matter.

 Solid

 Liquid

 Gas
 Behaviors of Solids

• In solids, the molecules are held tightly with strong force. They can’t move very easily so
solids can keep their shapes. They are the most rigid matter and they have fixed volume.
• Examples of solids:
• Wood
• Sand
 Behaviors of Liquids

• In liquids, the molecules have weaker bonds. The atoms run around slightly
so liquids can flow and they can keep their shape. They are also very rigid
but less rigid than the molecules of solid. Liquids don’t have fixed volume.
• Examples of liquids
• Water
• Milk
• Blood
 Behaviors of Gases
• In gases, the molecules are free to move around. They can spread around in an
open space quickly and freely. Gases can’t keep their shape at all. They don’t have
a fixed volume like the liquids.

• Examples of Gases:
• Helium
• Nitrogen
• Carbon dioxide
 Phases of Matters

• There are six changes of phase that substances go through:

• Freezing: liquid to solid.
• Melting: solid to liquid.
• Condensation: gas to liquid.
• Vaporization: liquid to gas.
• Sublimation: solid to gas.
• Deposition: gas to solid.

 What is Plasma Matter?

• Plasma is often considered the 4th state of matter along with solids, liquids
and gases. A Plasma is more like a gas than any of the other states. Like gases,
Plasma doesn't have a fixed volume or a shape. Plasma is less dense than
solids and liquids.

• Some examples of Plasma are lightning, solar wind, auroras, stars and the
moons etc.
