Matter exists in 5 states:
You are probably familiar with the3 states of matter, we will learn 2 more.
GasLiquidSolid
Least EnergeticLeast Thermal Energy
Most EnergeticMost Thermal Energy
Solids: Have a definite volume and a definite
shape
This means the object will keep its shape, no matter what container or position you place it in.
Example: When you put an ice cube in a glass it doesn’t become the shape of the glass (unless it changes to a liquid.)
Find the correct place on the data table to place the information
Particles in a Solid: The particles
are packed tightly together, they vibrate but stay in a fixed position.
Liquids Definite volume, but has no shape of its
own, takes on the shape of container.
The amount of volume of the liquid doesn’t change if its poured into another container.
Example: if you pour 100mL of water into another container the water still occupies 100mL of volume in the new container
Particles in a Liquid: The particles in a liquid
are packed close together like in a solid but can move around freely.
Since the particles are free to move around a liquid has no definite shape, but the amount of liquid remains the same.
Gases No definite shape and No definite
volume
The volume and shape of a gas is the same as the volume and shape of the container.
Example: If you put a gas in a sealed container, the gas particles will spread apart or squeeze together to fill every bit of that container.
Particles in a Gas: If you put a gas in a
sealed container, the gas particles will spread apart or squeeze together to fill that container.
Plasma No real shape, no
container can hold Plasma due to it’s super high energy level.
Molecules are very far apart and moving very quickly, as in chaos.
Plasma is very rare on Earth, but it is the most common state of matter in the Universe because all stars are made of Plasma.
Bose Einstein Condensate (BEC) Atoms in a BEC are super unexcited with
a very low energy level, particles are not moving and clump together.
Groups of atoms occupy the same space, somewhat like a clump of atoms, sometimes called a “super atom.”
BEC was predicted by Bose and Einstein in 1924 and created in the lab in 1995, earning the creator the Nobel Prize in 2001.

Matter and Energy are Different
Matter Has mass Takes up space/ has
volumeEnergy
Does not have mass Does not take up space/
not have volume
Energy affects Matter. Energy is always involved when physical and chemical changes in matter occur.
A
2 Main Form of Energy
Potential energy –the energy stored within a system, it can also be thought of as the energy of position
Kinetic energy- the energy of motion.
The Total Energy in a System:Kinetic and Potential Energy
Together Kinetic and Potential energy make up the total energy in a system.
Potential energy can change to Kinetic energy and vice versa, but the total amount of energy is always the same. Energy is never lost, it is always conserved.
Energy is Never Lost
As energy flows through a system it can be transferred and/or transformed form one type to another.
Energy Transformation
Energy transfers may involve the energy moving through a system
such as thermal energy moving in the atmosphere to create wind.
Energy Transformation
Energy transfers may involve the energy changing into a new form
such as chemical energy inside a battery changing to electrical energy in an electronic device
Energy is Never Lost
Law of Conservation of Energy As energy moves and transforms it is never lost Energy is neither created nor destroyed, but only
changes from one form to another.
Energy is Never Lost
As energy flows through a system it can be transferred and/or transformed form one type to another.
