STATES OF MATTER
•The Four States of Matter
•Four States
•Solid
•Liquid
•Gas
•Plasma
STATES OF MATTER
Based upon particle arrangement
Based upon energy of particles
Based upon distance between particles
Kinetic Theory of Matter
Matter is made up of molecules which are in
continual random motion.
STATES OF MATTER
SOLIDS
•Molecules of solids are
tightly packed, vibrating
about a fixed position.
•Solids have a definite
shape and a definite
volume.
Heat
STATES OF MATTER
LIQUID
Molecules of liquids
are tightly packed, but
not as much as solids
Liquids have a definite
volume but take the
shape of their
container.
Heat
STATES OF MATTER
GAS
Molecules of
gases are very far
apart and move
freely.
Gases have
indefinite volume
and take the
shape of their
container.
Heat
Mass
• The amount of matter something has
• Measured in grams
Volume
• How much space something takes up
• Measured in liters or cm-3
Length
• Distance between 2 points
• Measured in Meters
Physical Properties
• Properties that can be observed without changing a substance
• Examples
Physical Properties
• Properties that can be observed without changing a substance
• Examples
• Color, odor, hardness, shine, conduct electricity, magnetic
• STATE or PHASE
• density
Density
• What is density?
Density
• What is density?
• The amount of mass in a certain amount of space
Density
• You can even determine the relative densities of liquids by the layers
that are formed when they are mixed, or what floats upon what.
• More dense substances sink.
• Less dense substances float.

Heat goes into

Heat leaves the

But what happens if you raise the
temperature to super-high levels…
between
1000°C and 1,000,000,000°C ?
Will everything
just be a gas?
STATES OF MATTER
PLASMA
A plasma is a gas that
the electrons and
neutrons are free from
the atom.
A plasma is a very
good conductor of
electricity and is
affected by magnetic
fields.
Plasmas, like gases
• Plasma is the

indefinite volume.
STATES OF MATTER
SOLID
Tightly packed, in
a regular pattern
Vibrate, but do not
move from place
to place
LIQUID
Close together
with no regular
arrangement.
Vibrate, move
about, and slide
past each other
GAS
Well separated
with no regular
arrangement.
Vibrate and move
freely at high
speeds
PLASMA
Has no definite
volume or shape
and is composed
of electrical
charged particles
Some places where plasmas are found…
1. Flames
2. Lightning
3. Aurora (Northern Lights)
The Sun is an example of a star in its
plasma state
