1. States of Matter

3. 4 States of Matter: Solid 2. Liquid 3. Gas 4. Plasma
States of Matter—physical forms in which a substance can exist
4 States of Matter:
Solid Liquid
3. Gas 4. Plasma

5. Solids
Particles are very close together (strong
attraction)
Particles vibrate in place
Melting—solid to liquid (energy must be
added—particles speed up)
Freezing—liquid to solid (energy must be
removed—particles slow down)

6. Liquids
Slightly more energized particles than a solid (less attraction between particles)
Evaporation (Vaporization)—liquid to gas
(energy must be added--particles speed up)

7. Gas
Particles move quickly (lots of energy)
Very little attraction between particles
Condensation—gas to liquid (energy must
removed—particles slow down)

9. Most energized of all the states Examples: Stars
Plasma—super heated gas that contains electrically charged particles (called ions)
Most energized of all the states
Examples:
Stars
Auroras (Northern Lights)
Certain TVs
Lightning
Fluorescent lights
Neon signs
