phases of matter
DESCRIPTION
Phases of Matter. The 3 different phases of matter are solid, liquid and gas. 1. SOLIDS. Solids have two important characteristics: definite mass and volume. The particles in a solid are closely packed together. The movement of particles in a solid is what we would call a vibration. - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT
The particles in a solid are closely packed together. The movement of particles in a solid is what we would call a vibration.
QuickTime™ and aTIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
2. LIQUIDS• Liquids do not have
any specific shape, but take the shape of the container in which they are placed. They do have a definite volume.
• The particles in a liquid are close together but are free to move around each other.
• Example: water, honey, motor oil

• The particles in a gas are spread very far apart from one another. There is a lot of empty space between each particle

• When matter is converted from a solid (ice) to a liquid (water), and to a gas (steam), heat energy is required. The density of a substance is decreased with the addition of more energy.
