SOLIDHolds its own shape

Keeps a constant volume

Rigid

Cannot be compressed

SOLIDParticles are very

close together in a regular pattern

Particles are strongly attracted to each other

Only particle movement is vibration

Solid2 main groups

1. Crystalline-particles arranged in a regular, repeating three-dimensional pattern.

Examples: Salt, Sugar, and ice

Solid2 main groups

2. Amorphousa. Solid whose particles lack a regular,

repeating order. b. Often called super cooled liquids

because they retain certain liquid properties even at temperatures at which they appear to be solid.

Example: Window glass, butter, candle wax

LIQUIDTakes shape of container

Keeps a constant volume

Can flow

Cannot be noticeably compressed

LIQUID Particles are close

together in irregular pattern

Particles are attracted to each other

Particles can move around each other freely and independently

GASExpands to fill the container

(no definite shape or volume)

Can flow

Can be compressed

GASParticles are spread

out with no pattern

Particles have no attraction to each other

Particles move at high speeds

PLASMAA gas that has charged and neutral

particles which move freely

Usually give off light

Examples:flash of a lightning boltnorthern lights (aurora borealis)
