States of Matter Worksheet

Solids have a definite shape and volume while liquids do not have a definite shape but have a definite volume. Liquids flow and take the shape of their container unlike gases which expand freely to fill their container. Diagrams were drawn to represent the particles in each state of matter with solids having particles tightly packed, liquids having particles close together but able to flow past one another, and gases having particles far apart and in random motion like plasma which is made of ionized gases. Running a hot metal jar lid under water causes the particles in the metal to vibrate more vigorously due to increased thermal energy from the hot water allowing the lid to expand slightly and be removed more easily through a process called thermal expansion.

1. Compare and contrast solids and liquids.

2. Compare and contrast liquids and gases.

3. Draw a diagram to represent 8 particles in each state of matter. (HINT: Recall that plasma is gas-
like but with one major difference.)

SOLID LIQUID GAS PLASMA

4. A common trick for removing a stubborn jar lid is to run the metal lid under hot water.
a. What does Kinetic Molecular Theory tell us about the effect of temperature on the motion of
particles?

b. Describe what happens to the particles in the metal lid when it is run under hot water. Why
does this trick allow the lid to be removed more easily?

c. What is the process you described in 4b called?
