GEN. CHEM. 1 - CHAPTER 1 - STATES OF MATTER
Plasma
A fourth state of matter, formed by heating and ionizing a gas, is made of groups of negatively and positively charged particles.
Matter
Anything that has mass and volume.
Phase
By absorbing or releasing an amount of energy (heat) into or out of matter.
Substances
Can change from one phase to another when the physical Forces between the particles composing them are changed
Solids
Definite shape and volume
Matter
Describe based on its state or phase.
Cold liquid Helium and superconductors like the nucleons inside a neutron star.
Examples of Bose-Einstien Condensate
ionized gases, aurora borealis, lightning, and comet tails.
Examples of Plasma
Condensation
Gas to liquid
Deposition
Gas to solid
Vaporization
Liquid to gas
Freezing
Liquid to solid
Liquid
No definite shape but has definite volume.
Sublimation
Solid to gas
Melting
Solid to liquid
Bose-Einstein Condensate
The fifth state of matter, cooled to temperatures very close to zero.
Plasma and Bose-Einstein Condensate
The fourth and fifth states are referred to as ______.
Volume
The space that occupies.
Solid, liquid, gas
Three main states/phase of matter.
Mass
amount of matter.
Gases
takes the shape of their container, no definite volume.
