Density -The measurement of how much mass of a substance is contained in a given volume.
D is the mass (m) per unit volume (V) of a material.
Formula: D = m/V Density = g/cm3
States of Matter
1. Solid - Particles of solids are tightly packed, vibrating about a fixed position.
Solids have a definite shape and a definite volume.
2. 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
3. Gas - Particles of gases are very far apart and move freely.
Gases have an indefinite shape and an indefinite volume.
4. 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 have an indefinite shape and an indefinite volume.
exist at extremely high temperatures
5. Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) – exists at extremely low temperatures –2730C
Phases of Matter
The reversible physical change that occurs when a substances changes from one state of matter to another.
1. Intensive property – properties that depend on the kind of matter regardless of its amount.
2. Extensive property – properties that depend on the amount of matter.
Vocabulary
Malleable – capable of being stretched or bent into different shapes by beating with a hammer / the ability to be
pounded into thin sheets.
Ductile - the ability to be drawn or pulled into a wire.
Brittle – easily broken or cracked / not strong / easily damaged
