Definition of matter
matter is anything that has mass and volume.
Describe shape of solid, volume of solid, and Distance between particles and energy between particles
shape and volume is definite,
Small distances between particles
Low and little energy and movement
first part of the theory
All matter is composed of tiny objects called particles
Gas to liquid
condensation
Solid to liquid
melting
definition of volume
the space any object occupies
Describe the state of the shape of liquid, volume of liquid, and Distance between particles and energy between particles
shape is indefinite, volume is definite,
More distance between particles
More energy and more movement between particles
second part of the theory
All particles have spaces between them
Liquid to gas
evaporation
Gas to Liquid temperature
condensing point
three states of matter are:
soldi, liquid, gas
Describe the state of the shape of gas, volume of gas, and Distance between particles and energy between particles
shape and volume is indefinite,
Large distances between particles
High energy and a lot of movement between particles
third part of the theory
Particles of matter are in constant motion
Gas to solid
deposition
Liquid to gas temp.
boiling point
definition of density
mass of matter relative to how much space it takes up.
mass vs. weight
mass depends on the number of particles in an object, weight depends on the amount of gravity acting on the amount of mass contained in an object.
fourth part of the theory
There are attractive forces between particles
Solid to gas
sublimation
Liquid to solid temp.
freezing point
definition of mass
is the measure of quantity of matter (the amount of atoms) a substance contains. (the amount of particles in matter)
how to find the volume of irregular shaped objects
displacing water - drop object into measured water and see how much it rises
definite vs. indefinite
definite is unchangeable, indefinite is changeable
Liquid to solid
freezing
solid to liquid temp.
melting point
