States of Matter
Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass.
The three states of matter are solid, liquid and gas.
Properties of Solids, Liquids and Gases
Solids Liquids Gases
Definite Mass Definite Mass Definite Mass
Definite Shape No Definite Shape No Definite Shape
Definite Volume Definite Volume No Definite Volume
Incompressible Incompressible Compressible
Does Not Flow Flows Diffuses
Changing State
Melting is the changing of a solid to a liquid, e.g. when ice melts to form water.
Evaporation is the changing of a liquid to a gas. This happens when the liquid is heated, and the atoms in the liquid gain enough energy to become a gas.
The boiling point of a liquid is the point where evaporation occurs throughout the liquid. The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius.
Condensation is the changing of a gas to a liquid, e.g. steam condenses into water when it hits a cold surface.
