What is matter
Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass (weight)
How much energy does molecules of solids, liquids, gas
Solids - molecules of solids have the least amount
Liquids - more energy
Gas- most energy
solid…..
Particles Vibrate about fixed positions
Liquids…
Particles slide over each other
Gas…
Particles move around at a high speed
Melting ??
Turns a solid into a liquid (heat energy is added). The melting point of both solid and liquid states of a substance exists together.
Evaporation
A liquid turns in a gas (heat energy added). The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which evaporation begins.
Condensation
Is the changing of gas to liquid
