Chumbler - Properties of Matter1 States of Matter Matter: anything that has mass and takes up space.  Solid  Liquid  Gas

Chumbler - Properties of Matter2 States of Matter Classification of Matter  Based upon particle arrangement  Based upon energy of particles  Based upon distance between particles

Chumbler - Properties of Matter3 States of Matter Solids  Particles of solids are tightly packed, vibrating about a fixed position.  Solids have a definite shape and a definite volume.

Chumbler - Properties of Matter5 States of Matter Liquids  Particles of liquids are tightly packed, but are far enough apart to slide over one another.  Liquids can become any shape and they have a definite volume.

Chumbler - Properties of Matter7 States of Matter Gases PParticles of gases are very far apart and move freely. GGases be any shape and have an indefinite volume.

9 States of Matter Microscopic Explanation for Properties of Solids  Solids have a definite volume and shape and so do not take the shape of a container because the particles are locked into place. (fixed position)  Solids are not easily compressible because there is little free space between particles (as close as they can get)  Solids do not flow easily because the particles cannot move/slide past one another (fixed position)

(as close as they can get)  Liquids flow easily because the particles can move/slide past one another. (free to move)

Chumbler - Properties of Matter11 Microscopic Explanation for Properties of Gases GGases have any shape and volume because the particles can move past one another. (free to move) GGases are easily compressible because there is a great deal of free space between particles. (far apart) GGases flow very easily because the particles randomly move past one another. (free to move) States of Matter
