The 2 scientists who stated that all matter is made up of atoms
Leucippus & Democritus
Atoms which comes
from the Greek word _____ means _____
atmos, uncuttable
atoms are in constant motion
around the ______
void
Who stated that atoms have different weight and have
the same speed regardless of size
Epirucus of Samos
according to
him, matter is made up of the four elements in different proportions.
Aristotle
the 5th
element found outside earth and matter can be divided indefinitely without changing
the fundamental properties
Aether
It is made up of tiny particles called atoms
Matter
states of matter
solid, liquid, gas
retains a fixed volume and shape rigid - particles locked into place not easily compressible little free space between particles high density
Solid
assumes the shape of the part of the container which it occupies particles can move/slide past one another not easily compressible little free space between particles medium density
liquid
assumes the shape and volume of its container particles can move fast one another compressible lots of free space between particles low density
gas
formed by heating and ionizing gas.
plasma
It is made up of negatively and positively
charged ions. It has no definite volume and no
definite shapes.
plasma
is produced when a cloud of bosons is cooled to
temperatures near absolute zero, 0 Kelvin (-273.15 oC).
Einstein condensate
The motion of the individual
atoms slows to the point where they combine to form a single “______” with
properties distinct from those of other states of matter.
super atom
