States Of Matter
By:Reilly Weakley
Solids
A Solid is the state of matter which have a definite shape and a definite volume.
- Although the something is classified as a solid down not mean it is not able to be shaped.
- All objects classified as a shape have a reconizeable shape, and amount of space taken up.
- Objects classified as solids also do not morph of change if moved places.
Examples:
- A Pencil
- Wire
- A Book
Liquids
A liquid is a state of matter which has a definite volume, but no definite shape.
Facts:
- Liquids take the shape of the container that they are placed inside of.
- The amour of liquid does not change from container to container.
- Liquids have loose particles and that is the reason for their viscosity.
Examples:
- Water
- Mercury
- Juice
Gases
A Gas is a state of matter of which a material has neither a definite shape, nor a definite volume.
Facts:
- A gas takes the shape and volume of its container.
- Gas atoms are never arranged in a particular pattern.
- Gas atoms have varying and vas amount of space between them.
Examples:
- Air
- Carbon Dioxide
- Helium
Plasma
Plasma is the colorless fluid part of the blood, lymph, or milk, in which corpuscles of fat globules are suspended.
Facts:
- This substance is seen on Earth rarely.
- Is common on the sun, and stars and through out the galaxy.
- Ninety nine percent of all matter in the universe is made of plasma.
Bose-Enstein Condenstate
Bose-Enstein Condenstate is a state of matter of a dilute gas of bosons cooled to temperature very close to absolute zero.
Facts:
- In 1995, two scientist finally created the condensate.
- Super unexcited and super cold atoms.
- The molecules can get denser or packed close together.
Examples:
- Super fluids
- Super conductors
- Nuclear inside a neutrons star
