Matter

• Matter is anything that has mass and volume.• There are three main types of matter. They are

solid, liquid, and gas.

Click here to learn more about the types of matter.

States of Matter

• The state of matter is determined by the movement of particles within the matter.

Particle Motion of Solids

• There are two basic types of particle arrangement in solids. Click here to find out more.

The particles in solids don’t move much, but they do

vibrate slightly.

Notice how the solid maintains its shape in the container.

Crystalline vs. Amorphous Solids

Crystalline Solids• The particles in a crystalline

solid are arranged in a repeating pattern.

Amorphous Solids• The particles in an

amorphous solid are arranged randomly.

Solids Self Quiz

Question #1

How do the particles in solids move?

Answer #1

They don’t move much, they only vibrate slightly.



Solids Self Quiz

Answer #3

True.



Solids Self Quiz

Question #4

What are the two types of solids?

Answer #4

Crystalline and amorphous.



Solids Self Quiz

Question #5

Which of the two types of solids have particles arranged in a set pattern?

Answer #5

Crystalline.



Particle Motion of Liquids

• Want more information? Click here.

The particles in liquids slide past

one another.

As you can see, a liquid will take the shape of its container.

Particle Motion of Liquids

• To return to States of Matter, click here.• To take the Liquids Self Quiz, click here.

Surface tension is the attraction of molecules to one another in a liquid.

To see surface tension in action, click here.

Liquids Self Quiz

Question #1

How do the particles in liquids move?

Answer #1

They slide past one another.



Liquids Self Quiz

Question #2

True or False: Liquids have a definite shape and volume.

Answer #2

False. They have a definite volume, but they take the shape of the container they are in.



Liquids Self Quiz

Question #3

What property of a liquid allows you to drink through a straw?

Answer #3

Surface tension. It holds the particles together, pulling them through the straw.



Particle Motion of Gases

• Want to know how to find the volume of a gas? Check this out!

Gas particles move fast and

strike one another.

Gases spread out to fill their container. What does this tell you about their shape and volume?

Volume of a Gas

• To return to States of Matter, click here.• To take the Gases Self Quiz, click here.

The volume of a gas is found by measuring the volume of the container the gas is in.

Want to know why? Click here.

Gases Self Quiz

Question #1

How do the particles in gases move?

Answer #1

They move very fast and strike one another.



Gases Self Quiz

Question #2

True or False: Gases have a definite shape and volume.

Answer #2

False. Gases take the shape and volume of the container they are in.



Gases Self Quiz

Question #3

How do you measure the volume of a gas?

Answer #3

You measure the volume of the container the gas is in.
