States of Matter
By Maxwell Newsom
Solids
Definition
A Solid is the state of matter in which materials have a definite shape and a definite volume.
Details
-Solids have low kinetic energy because the small amount of room they have to move.
-Solids molecules are pack closely together.
Examples
-Wood
-Ice
-Plastic
Liquids
Definition
Details
-Liquids have a medium amounts kinetic energy.
-Liquids move freely but are still some what close together.
Examples
-Oil
-alcohol
Gas
Definition
inite shape nor a definite volume.
Details
-Gas molecules do not interact with each other unless they collide.
-Most Gases can not be seen by the human eye.
Examples
-Hydrogen
-Co2
Plasma
Definition
Details
-Molecules have extreme amounts of energy.
-Plasma Is the most common phase of matter .
Examples
-Neon
-Stars
Bose-Einstien Condensate
Definition
Details
-Einstein predicted this state of matter in the 1920s.
-This prediction was proven 75 years after it was made.
Examples
-Superconductors
