Tightly Packed Particles

The document discusses the properties and behaviors of different states of matter, including solids, liquids, gases, and plasma. It highlights characteristics such as density, compressibility, and phase changes like freezing, melting, evaporation, and condensation. Additionally, it explains the unique nature of plasma as an ionized state of matter distinct from gases.

tightly packed particles

mostly hard, but in some instances, can be hard


first phase change in the first 3 states of matter
takes on a particular shape or volume
atoms in this state take on a specific pattern
in different stages, solids can have sulimation and
dispositionswell as freezing and melting turning
into either a gas or a liquid or the fluid or gas
turning into a solid
high density
resilience- meaning that it resists pressure or
compressibility and it doesn’t expand
has ionization meaning- high energy ions hitting
each other
conducts amazing electrical waves because of
the presence of electrons and ions
magnetic attraction- confines and shapes
found in lightning and aurora borealis as well as
the sun and stars, plasma cutting, plasma torches,
and displays
while plasmas seems like a gas it isn’t. plasma is
ionized. before it is ionized it is considered a gas.
But all plasma is ionized, therefore it is not a gas
freely moving atoms/particules
depending on the state it can either be
evaporating or condensating or with a solid be
depositioning or sublimationing with either of the
4 cycles
atoms that make up gas fly freely at great speeds
high kinetic energy- meaning the energy that
something has because it’s moving
low density
compressibility
expansionability
diffusibility
low intermolecular forces- weak forces of
attraction
lose packed atoms
flows freely
doesn’t take to a particular shape, instead fits
perfectly in the container its in and fills up its
space
freezing and melting as well as evaporation and
condensation depending on its state of either
becoming or some other state of becoming it
medium density
incompressible
retains a constant volume of independent
pressure, almost
