Chapter 6 States of Matter Section 1 Solids, liquids and gases
2
Matter Anything that takes up space and has mass Common States of Matter Solid Liquid Gas Plasma- extremely hot, very active charged particles Most common found in the universe Stars, lightning, flourescent lights Bose- Einstein Condesates- super cold and not active
3
Describing a state of matter Mass- the amount of matter in an object Kg, g Volume- how much space that a sample of matter takes up L, ml, cc Density= Mass/Volume
4
Solids Definite shape and definite volume Particles in a solid- vibrate around each other They are very tightly packed together and held together by strong forces https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZARiF4- tM9Iwww.youtube.com/watch?v=ZARiF4- tM9I
5
Types of Solids Crystalline Regular repeating pattern Example Diamond Amorphous Particles arranged randomly Ex- charcoal Charcoal Diamond
6
Liquids Has a definite volume but no definite shape Particles move faster so move more freely in the substance Particles tend to be further apart so the attractive forces decrease
7
Liquids vocabulary Viscosity- the measurement of a liquids resistance to flow Honey has high viscosity while water has low viscosity Viscosity due to particle mass, particle shape, and the strength of the attraction between molecules Viscosity may change with increases in temperature
8
Liquid vocabulary cont. Surface tension Attraction of similar molecules is cohesion Water molecules at the surface do not have water molecules above them They experience a greater downward pull So they become stretched like the head of a drum The uneven forces acting on the particles on the surface of a liquid
9
Gases No definite volume and no definite shape The molecules in a gas are rapidly moving and are extremely far apart Attractive forces are weak to non existent Vapor- term used for the gas state of something that is a solid or liquid at room temperature https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhMluFYe_ vQwww.youtube.com/watch?v=PhMluFYe_ vQ
