Written Report About States of Matter: Submitted By: Dhiens Joseph A. Kisinamal

This document is a written report submitted by Dhiens Joseph A. Kisinamal to Prof. Arnello Valerio about the states of matter. It defines matter and discusses the kinetic theory of matter. It describes the five main states of matter - solids, liquids, gases, plasmas, and Bose-Einstein condensates. For each state, it provides details about the structure and behavior of the particles that make up that state of matter.

States of Matter

Matter
• Matter is anything that takes up space & has
mass.
• Matter is the “stuff” of the universe — the
atoms, molecules and ions that make up all
physical substances.
• Matter can be identified by its
characteristic inertial and gravitational
mass and the space that it occupies.
• Matter is typically commonly found in three
different states: solid, liquid and gas
Kinetic Theory of Matter
• Matter is made up of particles which are in
continual random motion.
Five Phases/States of Matter
• Solids
• Liquids
• Gases
• Plasmas
• Bose-Einstein condensates
Solids
• Particles of solids are tightly packed,
vibrating about a fixed position.
• Solids have a definite shape and a definite
volume.
Liquids
• 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.
Viscosity
• A liquid’s resistance to flow is known as
the liquid’s viscosity.
• The slower a liquid flows, the higher its
viscosity is.
• For many liquids, viscosity increases as the
liquid becomes colder.
Surface Tension
• The uneven forces acting on the particles on
the surface of a liquid are called surface
tension.
• Surface tension causes the liquid to act as
if a thin film were stretched across its
surface.
Gases
• Gas is matter that does not have a definite
shape or volume.
• The particles in gas are much farther apart
than those in a liquid or solid.
• Gas particles move at high speeds in all
directions.
Vapor
• Matter that exists in the gas state but is
generally a liquid or solid at room
temperature is called vapor.
• Water, for example, is a liquid at room
temperature. Thus, water vapor is the term
for the gas state of water.
Plasma
• Plasma is an ionized gas.
• 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.
Bose- Einstein condensates
• In 1995, technology enabled scientists to
create a new state of matter, the Bose-
Einstein condensate (BEC). Using a
combination of lasers and magnets, Eric
Cornell and Carl Weiman cooled a sample of
rubidium to within a few degrees of absolute
zero.
• This is a new edition of the phases of
matter.
• It all starts when the atoms started to get
cold, really cold.
• When the atoms get cold, they get closer and
begin to clump up.
• When the atoms clump up, they become one big
blob that all look the same.
