There are two properties of matter which all substances are distinguished by, they are "physical properties" and "chemical properties." A block of ice changes its physical properties as it melts, but chemically it is the same water in either state.

2. STATES OF MATTER
• The Four States of Matter
• Four States
• Solid
• Liquid
• Gas
• Plasma
3. STATES OF MATTER
 Based upon particle arrangement
 Based upon energy of particles
 Based upon distance between particles
4. Kinetic Theory of Matter
Matter is made up of particles which
are in continual random motion.
5. STATES OF MATTER
SOLIDS
•Particles of solids are
tightly packed, vibrating
about a fixed position.
•Solids have a definite
shape and a definite
Heat
6. STATES OF MATTER
LIQUID
 Particles of liquids are
tightly packed, but are
far enough apart to
slide over one
another.
 Liquids have an
indefinite shape and a
definite volume. Heat
7. STATES OF MATTER
GAS
 Particles of gases
are very far apart
and move freely.
 Gases have an
indefinite shape
and an indefinite
volume.

10. But what happens if you raise the
temperature to super-high levels…
between
1000°C and 1,000,000,000°C ?
Will everything
just be a gas?
11. STATES OF MATTER
PLASMA
 A plasma is an
ionized gas.
 A plasma is a very
good conductor of
electricity and is
affected by
magnetic fields.
 Plasmas, like gases

found…
