Check for Understanding
Illustrate the particle arrangement and type of motion
associated with different states of matter.
States of Matter
Also called the four phases of matter (solid, liquid, gas, & plasma)
They all consist of atoms. They all have volume, mass, and density.
They all have heat energy. They all have kinetic energy (motion).
Solid
Liquid
Gas
Solids
 some heat energy (less than liquids and gases)
 Some motion (minor vibrations)
 Does not take the shape of its container
Example: Ice
Solid Water
(ice cube)
Solid
H2O
Liquids
 Moderate heat energy (more than solids but less than gases)
 Flowing motion in liquids (kinetic energy).
 Does take the shape of its container
Example: Water
Liquid Water
Liquid
H2O
Gases
 Lots of heat energy (more than solids and liquids)
 Fast moving, spreads out quickly
 Does not have a defined shape
Water Vapor
Example: Water Vapor (Steam)
(Steam)
Gas
H2O
Plasma
 Very large amounts of heat energy
(more than solids, liquids, or regular gases)
 Super-heated gas, with tremendous kinetic energy (motion)
Examples: Stars, fire, and lightning
Stars
Fire
Lightning
Changes of State
 Solid to liquid to gas or back the other way occurs by
increasing or decreasing energy (heat) in a substance.
 Changing the state does not change the chemical structure.
 It merely makes the particles move around faster or slower.
This is a physical change and not a chemical change!
Ex: H2O Water…notice that in each state shown below, it remains H2O
Solid Water
H2 O
Liquid Water
Water Vapor
H2 O
H2O
