States of Matter

States of Matter

• There are three states of matter:- solids, liquids and gas
• All matter is made up of tiny particles
• The particles of each state are arranged differently and also have different moving patterns
• Solids, liquids, and gases can be changed into one another by changing the amount of energy that the particles have

Solids - close and touching one another in a regular, repeating pattern. The particles vibrate about a fixed position but do not move apart. The forces between the particles is much stronger than gas and still stronger than a liquid

Liquid - close together and touching one another but in an irregular pattern. The movement is very free…
