This document discusses the different states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, plasma, and Bose-Einstein condensate. It explains that all states of matter are made up of atoms arranged in different patterns that determine the properties of each state. Solids have tightly packed atoms that do not change shape, while liquids have loosely packed atoms that take the shape of their container. Gases have very spread out atoms that fill their container. Plasmas are similar to gases but are made of ions and electrons. Bose-Einstein condensates form when atoms are cooled to near absolute zero and clump together.

1. States Of Matter!

2. What is Matter?
Matter is anything that takes up space and
weight! The states of matter include;
solid,liquid, gas, plasma and Bose-Einstein
Condensates.
All states of matter are made up of atoms. An
atom is like a building block. It makes up
everything you see! Each state of matter has a
different patterns of atoms. The different
patterns of atoms are what make the states of
matter so much different than each other.

3. What is a Bose-Einstein
Condensate?
●
This state of matter is a new
edition to the crew.
●
It all starts when the atoms
start to get cold, really cold.
●
When the atoms get cold, they
get closer and begin to clump
up.
●
When the atoms clump up,
they become one big blob that
all look the same.

4. What is a Solid?
●
Solids are usually
hard because of their
atomic structure.
●
Solids have tightly
packed molecules.
The closer the
molecules, the harder
the solid.
●
Solids always hold
their own shape.

5. What is a liquid?
●
Liquid is the middle man
of the states of matter,
it's molecules aren't as
tightly packed as solids,
but not as spread out as
gas and have no
particular pattern.
●
Liquid always takes the
shape of it's container
from the bottom up.

6. What is a Gas?
● Gases are random
groups of atoms that
are really spread out.
● Gases are full of
energy.
● Gases can fill any
container regardless
of size or shape.

7. What in the World is Plasma?
● Plasma isn't found
very often.
● Plasma's are a lot like
gases but plasmas
are made up of free
electrons and ions of
the element.
● Plasmas are mostly
found in the
atmosphere.
