What is matter?

Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. It is made up of atoms, which are the building blocks of everything in the universe. Matter exists in various forms, such as solids, liquids, and gases, and can undergo physical and chemical changes. It is the physical substance that makes up the world around us, including all living organisms.

What are the three states of matter?

The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.

How do particles in a solid move?

Particles in a solid vibrate in place due to the strong intermolecular forces that hold them together in a fixed position. While they do not move around within the substance like particles in a liquid or gas, they do vibrate with increasing energy as the temperature of the solid increases.

How do particles in a liquid move?

Particles in a liquid move by constantly vibrating, rotating, and sliding past each other due to the random thermal energy they possess. This movement is called Brownian motion, where the particles have enough kinetic energy to overcome the intermolecular forces holding them together, allowing them to flow and take the shape of their container.

How do particles in a gas move?

Particles in a gas move in random, straight-line paths due to their high kinetic energy. They exhibit continuous motion, colliding with each other and the walls of their container. This constant motion and collision result in the pressure and volume of the gas. The speed and direction of each particle's movement are constantly changing due to these collisions.

What happens to the shape of a solid when heated?

When a solid is heated, it expands due to the increased kinetic energy of its particles. This expansion causes the solid to generally increase in volume and change shape. The extent of the change in shape depends on the material and its physical properties. In some cases, the solid may deform or even melt if the temperature is high enough.

What happens to the volume of a liquid when cooled?

When a liquid is cooled, its volume typically decreases. This is because cooling causes the particles within the liquid to slow down and come closer together, leading to a decrease in the average distance between particles and a reduction in the volume of the liquid.

What is the freezing point of water in Celsius?

The freezing point of water in Celsius is 0 degrees.

What is the boiling point of water in Celsius?

The boiling point of water in Celsius is 100 degrees Celsius.

How does matter change from a solid to a gas?

When matter changes from a solid to a gas, it undergoes a process called sublimation. This occurs when solid particles gain enough kinetic energy to break free from their fixed positions and transition directly into the gas phase without passing through the liquid phase. This transformation is driven by an increase in temperature and pressure, causing the solid molecules to move more rapidly and escape into the air as a gas.
