1. 3 STATES OF MATTER
Mackenzie Blair 8th grade

2. GASES
•
•
•
•
Gases- An air like liquid that
expands freely to fill any available
space.
The particles are fast. They are so
fast they slip from each other so
they roam freely past each other.
Ex: Like people running around
in a gym.
Has no definite shape or volume.

3. EXAMPLES OF GASES
1.
Smoke
2.
Helium
3.
Oxygen
4.
Carbon Dioxide
5.
hydrogen

4. LIQUIDS
•
Liquid- the state of matter that
has a definite volume but takes
on the same shape of its
container.
•
The particles move fast enough
to overcome the attraction
between some of the particles.
All liquids have something called
surface tension.
•

5. SURFACE TENSION
•
•
•
•
Every single liquid has surface
tension.
Surface tension- a force that
holds together particles at the
surface of a liquid.
Surface tension causes some
liquid to form spherical drops.
Ex: Rain drops

6. Examples of liquids
1. Water
2. Coffee
3. Paint
4. Oil
5. Acid

7. SOLIDS
•
Solid- The state of matter that
had a definite shape and volume.
•
The particles are very close
together and vibrate.
•
There are two types of solids.

8. TWO TYPES OF SOLIDS
Crystalline
•
Orderly
•
Particles in a repeating
pattern of rows
•
Particles don’t move
around
•
Ex: iron, diamond, ice
Amorphous
• Particles have no special
arrangement
• Particles don’t move
around
• Ex: glass, rubber, wax

9. EXAMPLES OF SOLIDS
1. Bacon
2. Cheese
3. Toilet paper
4. Cats
5. Ice
