Laci Sims, Jack Hensell, and Hailey Fitzgerald. Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. With some exceptions, it can be seen, smelled, and felt. Chemistry studies the nature of matter – how its building blocks are put together and how they interact. Solid Have definite shape and volume. Liquid Gas Have definite Have neither volume but conform definite shape nor to the shape of their definite volume. container. Plasma An ionized gas, a gas into which sufficient energy is provided to free electrons from atoms or molecules and to allow both species, ions and electrons, to coexist. Energy is the ability to do work or to put matter into motion. It is mass less and does not take up space, and it can only be measured by its effects on matter. When energy is actually doing work, it is referred to a kinetic. When it is inactive, it is called potential energy. All forms of energy exhibit both kinetic and potential work capacities. Forms of Energy: Chemical It is stored in the bonds of chemical substances Electrical It results from the movement of charged particles. Mechanical Radiant It is directly involved in moving matter. It travels in waves, that is, energy of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes x-rays and infrared, visible light, radio, and ultraviolet waves.
