1. I can explain and describe the three states of matter.

2. Solid Have a definite shape and volume
Do not move fast enough to overcome attraction
Close together and vibrate
Two kinds:
Crystalline- 3D, orderly arrangement, repeating pattern…diamond, ice, iron
Amorphous- don’t have special arrangement…glass, wax, rubber

3. Liquids Change shape but not volume.
Particles slide past one another but are close together
Move fast enough to overcome some attraction
Unique characteristics:
Surface Tension- force that acts on the particles at the surface of the liquid…gasoline, rain on a leaf
Viscosity- liquids resistance to flow…honey, water

4. Gas Changes both shape and volume
Particles move quickly to overcome almost all of the attraction
Move freely/independently
Particles break away from one another
