States of Matter There are Four States of Matter • Solid • Liquid • Gas • Plasma Solids • Particles are very close together • Have orderly, fixed arrangements • Fixed volumes due to fixed positions • Particles can only vibrate in position Liquids • More random arrangement of particles than solids. • Particles are loosely held together by attractive forces between particles, but can move past one another. • Result: Liquids can flow into any shape, but have a definite volume Attractive forces between liquid particles may result in: • Cohesion – Attraction for each other • Adhesion – Attraction to other materials • Capillary Action – Ability to “climb” due to cohesion and adhesion • Surface Tension – Force that act on the surface of a liquid and that tends to minimize the area of the surface Gas • Essentially independent particles. • Large space between particles result in little to no attraction between particles. • Result: Gases can flow into any shape, and have no definite volume Plasma • Supercritical fluid • Occurs at very high temperatures and very high pressures • Has properties of both the liquid phase and the gas phase Changing States Condensation Deposition Sublimation Evaporation Melting Freezing Chemical Changes verses Physical Changes Physical Changes • A change of matter from one form to another • • without a change in chemical properties AA Does the chemical nature of the substance change? – No • Examples: phase changes, making solutions Chemical Changes • A change that occurs when one or more • • substances change into entirely new substances with different properties A + B C (reactants go to products) Does the chemical nature of the substance change? – Yes – Example: Electrolysis of hydrogen and oxygen gases to make water Release or Absorption of Energy Formation of a gas Formation of a Precipitate (solid) An Unexpected Color Change Chemical or Physical • Frying an egg - Chemical • Boiling Water - Physical • Sanding a wooden plank - Physical • Digesting food - Chemical • Popping a balloon - Physical
