1. States Of Matter

2. Three Main States of matter

3. Particles in a solid are close together
solids
A state of matter where particles are tightly bound. Solids maintain volume and shape.
Particles in a solid are close together
The particles are constantly vibrating

4. Particles in a liquid are close together but loose
liquids
State of matter where particles are loosely bound. Liquids have a set volume but can change shape.
Particles in a liquid are close together but loose
The particles are constantly vibrating and shifting around

5. Particles in a gas are far apart
Gases
State of matter where particles are unbound. Gases can change shape and volume.
Particles in a gas are far apart
The particles are constantly bouncing around

6. Changing states

7. Changing States using temperature
Adding thermal energy increases the kinetic energy of the molecules
Add Heat (energy)
Solids  liquid  Gas
Remove Heat (energy)
Gas liquid  solids

8. Changing states using pressure
Increasing the pressure presses the molecules closer together
Increase pressure
Gas  liquid  solid
Decrease pressure
Solid  Liquid  Gas
