THE STATES (Phases) OF MATTER Lindsay Mulligan LRC 320 Final Project Lindsay Mulligan LRC 320 Final Project
What is Matter? Matter is everything around you. It is anything made of atoms and molecules. Matter is anything that has a mass.
What are the phases of Matter? There are 3 phases of matter SOLID ( rocks, wood, ice) LIQUID (water, lava, things to drink) GAS (air, steam) There are 3 phases of matter SOLID ( rocks, wood, ice) LIQUID (water, lava, things to drink) GAS (air, steam)
What are each made out of? Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of atoms, molecules, and/or ions, but the behaviors of these particles differ in the three phases. The following figure illustrates the microscopic differences. Gas Liquid Solid Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of atoms, molecules, and/or ions, but the behaviors of these particles differ in the three phases. The following figure illustrates the microscopic differences. Gas Liquid Solid
Here is the periodic table of elements. Each is color coded to show which element is a solid liquid or gas…
PROPERTIES The states of matter each are observed by a set of properties and can clearly be recognized by their unique differences The properties are: Density The mass of matter divided by it’s volume Shape Is it a fixed shape, or has it taken the shape of the container? Compressibility If we apply pressure, does the volume decrease? Thermal expansion How much does the volume change when heated?
