STATES OF MATTER

THERE ARE 4 STATES

• Solids
• Liquids
• Gases
• Plasma

SOLIDS

• Solids have a set shape
• They also have a set volume

LIQUIDS

• Liquids don't have a set shape
• They do have a set volume

GASES

• Gases don't have a set shape or volume

PLASMA

• Plasma does not have a set shape or volume
• It is affected by electric fields
• It is an electrical conductor

KINETIC THEORY OF MATTER

• Is based on particle arrangement
• Also based on energy of the particles
• Also based on distance between particles

STATE CHANGING

• Solid to Liquid = Melting
• Liquid to Solid = Freezing
• Solid to Gas = Sublimation
• Liquid to Gas = Evaporation
• Gas to Liquid = Condensation
