2. Kinetic Theory of Matter
Kinetic Theory: Matter is made up of particles which are in continual random motion.

3. STATES OF MATTER Based upon particle arrangement
Based upon energy of particles
Based upon distance between particles

5. Copy me into your notebook!
The 4 STATES OF MATTER
State
Organization
Shape
Volume
Solid
(leave 2-3 lines)
Liquid
Gas
Plasma

6. STATES OF MATTER SOLIDS
Organization: Particles of solids are tightly packed, vibrating about a fixed position.
Shape: Definite shape
Volume: Definite volume
Heat

7. STATES OF MATTER LIQUID
Organization: Particles of liquids are tightly packed, but are far enough apart to slide over one another.
Shape: Indefinite shape
Volume: definite volume
Heat

8. STATES OF MATTER GAS
Organization: Particles of gases are very far apart and move freely.
Shape: indefinite shape
Volume: indefinite volume
Heat

9. Will everything just be a gas?
But what happens if you raise the temperature to super-high levels… between 1000°C and 1,000,000,000°C ?
Will everything just be a gas?

10. STATES OF MATTER PLASMA
Organization: A plasma is an ionized gas.
A plasma is a very good conductor of electricity and is affected by magnetic fields.
Shape: Plasmas, like gases have an indefinite shape
Volume: indefinite volume.
Plasma is the most common state of matter in the universe

11. Some places where plasmas are found…
1. Flames

12. 2. Lightning

13. 3. Aurora (Northern Lights)

14. The Sun is an example of a star in its plasma state

16. STATES OF MATTER LIQUID PLASMA SOLID GAS
Tightly packed, in a regular pattern
Vibrate, but do not move from place to place
Close together with no regular arrangement.
Vibrate, move about, and slide past each other
Well separated with no regular arrangement.
Vibrate and move freely at high speeds
Has no definite volume or shape and is composed of electrical charged particles

Hmm…did I get all this?
