Chapter 1 States of Matter
Four States of Matter Solids KE = kinetic energy very low KE - particles vibrate but can’t move around fixed shape fixed volume KE = kinetic energy
Four States of Matter Liquids low KE - particles can move around but are still close together variable shape fixed volume
Four States of Matter Gases high KE - particles can separate and move throughout container variable shape and volume
Four States of Matter Plasma High temperature physical state of matter in which atoms lose most of their electrons; is considered a fourth state of matter Exists in the sun and other stars
