Learn about the characteristics of different states of matter - liquid, solid, gas, and plasma. Discover how molecules behave, their shapes, sizes, and examples.
E N D
States of Matter (4) • Directions: • Describe (give a written description of what the molecules look like and how they move) • Draw a diagram of what the molecules look like • Describe the shape and size (except plasma) • Give 3 examples of each (Draw examples)
Liquid • Molecules move about freely but stay • close together • Definite size but no definite shape • Water, rain, ocean • Solid • Molecules are closely packed • together • Little movement (vibrate) • Definite shape and size • Book, pencil, Rock States of Matter (4) • Gas • Molecules are far apart • Molecules move actively • No definite shape or size • Air, steam, helium • Plasma • Matter enters plasma state when it • is heated to high temperatures • Atoms start to break apart • Most common state in universe • Sun, lightening, stars
