Properties of solids:
Particles are bonded to each other….so:
1. Solids have a definite shape
2. Solids have a definite volume
Atoms can be bonded to each other in a definite pattern.
…called a “CRYSTAL”
In other solids, no pattern exists:
These materials are amorphous
GLASS is an example of an amorphous solid
(a=without, morph=form)
Properties of Liquids:
Particles are not bonded too rigidly to each other….so:
1. Liquids take the shape of their container
2. Liquids have a definite volume – they cannot be compressed!
Properties of Gases
2. Gases expand to fill the space they’re in, and can be compressed into smaller spaces.
Particles are moving independently ofeach other….so:
1. Gases take the shape of their container
Plasma is a special, high energy, high temperature “ionized” gas.
