Matter and states of Matter

Matter and states of Matter. Chapter 4. Basics of Matter. Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass. It does not have to be visible (example air is not visible however it still does take up space and has mass) All matter is made up of atoms (which can be molecules, or even ions).

  1. Matter and states of Matter Chapter 4

  2. Basics of Matter • Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass. • It does not have to be visible (example air is not visible however it still does take up space and has mass) • All matter is made up of atoms (which can be molecules, or even ions)

  3. States of Matter • A state of matter is what form it is in. There are four states of matter • Solid • Liquid • Gas • and………..Plasma These are the THREE MAIN STATES of MATTER

  4. Different states of matter • What determines states of matter? • Answer: The motion of the particles (atoms, molecules, ions) and the strength of attraction between the particles. • Remember particles are always moving regardless of what state they are in.

  5. Properties of Solids • A solid is matter with a definite shape and volume. • Volume is the amount of space an object occupies. • The particles in solids are vibrating in place • Example: If I pick up a rock • Does it change shape?: NO • Does it change size?: NO • If I place it in a container will it take the shape of the container?: NO

  6. Geometric Solids • Some solids have their particles arranged in 3D-patterns called a crystal in a repeating pattern. These are called crystalline solids. • Can be Cubes, pyramids, even other shapes (sugar, sand, snow) …

  7. Amorphous Solids • Some solids don’t form crystals and that is because they form particles that aren’t in a repeating pattern. • Examples: Rubber, Plastic, Glass.

  8. Properties of Liquids • A liquid is matter with a definite volume but NO definite shape. • The particles in liquids move more freely, they have enough energy to move out of fixed position but not far apart. • Example: If I pick up water • Does it change shape?: YES • Does it change volume?: NO • If I place it in a container will it take the shape of the container?: YES

  9. Viscosity of Liquids • Viscosity: A liquid’s resistance to flow • Think of water vs. syrup or glue • The slower the liquid flows the higher the viscosity is. This is because the particles are more attracted to each other. • Viscosity usually increase as temperature decrease for the liquid.

  10. Surface Tension • The attractive forces of liquids can resist being pulled apart. • The uneven forces acting on the particles on the surface of a liquid is called surface tension. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5AxlJSiEEs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHjc4gxob3s

  11. Properties of Gases • A Gas is matter that does not have a definite shape or definite volume. • The particles are farther apart than in solids or liquids and move at high speeds in all directions. • You can expand or compress the gas. If you allow it, the gas will take up as much space as needed. • Example: If I have some CO2 • Does it change shape?: YES • Does it change volume?: YES • If I place it in a container will it take the shape of the container?: YES

  12. Plasma • Plasma occurs at very high temperatures and is common in the universe but is not common on Earth • 90% of matter in the universe • Can only be contained in a magnetic bottle

  13. More Plasma • DO NOT WRITE • In recent times, we have begun to study matter at the very high temperatures and pressures which typically occur on the Sun, or during re-entry from space. Under these conditions, the atoms themselves begin to break down; electrons are stripped from their orbit around the nucleus leaving a positively charged ion behind. The resulting mixture of neutral atoms, free electrons, and charged ions is called a plasma. A plasma has some unique qualities that causes scientists to label it a "fourth phase" of matter. A plasma is a fluid, like a liquid or gas, but because of the charged particles present in a plasma, it responds to and generates electro-magnetic forces. – NASA (http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/k-12/airplane/state.html)
