Liquids are a state of matter consisting of atoms and molecules bound together but unlike solids are able to change their shape to fit their containers.Solids are the densest state of matter and their atoms or molecules are arranged in either a regular geometric lattice or in an irregular (amorphous) arrangement that provides structural rigidity and resistance to change in shape or volume. Solids are a state of matter consisting of tightly packed and strongly bound atoms or molecules.The three classical states and plasma can change from one form to another with changes in temperature and pressure.
However, most of the matter in the observable universe is in another state called plasma. The three classical states of matter that predominate on the surface of Earth are solids, liquids, and gases.The beginning teacher describes the physical properties and molecular structure of solids, liquids, and gases. Solids, Liquids and Gases (States of Matter) Electrical and thermal conductivity (with examples for a variety of materials) are described on the NDT Resource Center site. Learn about solubility of salts and gas solutes in liquid solvents with this video from the Khan Academy.Įlectrical and Thermal Conductivity. The ChemEd site at Purdue University discusses solubility and provides several examples of the equations for solubility and lists of soluble and insoluble salts. The ChemEd site at Purdue University features a number of descriptive pages on properties of matter including the article entitled “ Melting point, Freezing Point, Boiling Point,” which compares these three related properties. Density is explained both physically and mathematically with several examples in the Virtual Chembook from Elmhurst College. Electrical conductivity is a measure of the ability of a material or object to conduct electricity.ĭensity.Thermal conductivity is a measure of the ability of a material or object to conduct heat.Solubility is the property of a solute (solid, liquid, or gas) to dissolve in a solvent (solid, liquid, or gas) to form a homogeneous solution (e.g., mixture) or solid.The boiling point of an element or substance is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the external pressure surrounding the liquid.Density of gases and liquids vary with temperature. The density of matter of an object is its mass per unit volume.Matter consists of atoms and other particles that have mass. Matter is anything that occupies space and possesses mass.density, boiling point, solubility, thermal and electrical conductivity). The beginning teacher describes the physical properties of substances (e.g. Applications to Processes and Situations in Life and Earth/Space Science.Physical and Chemical Changes in Matter.Physical Properties of Elements and Placements in the Periodic Table.Relationship between Molecular Structure and Physical Properties.Solids, Liquids and Gases (States of Matter).For a general introduction to matter, visit the section on Matter in Bulk at the Wired Chemist. Matter is a general term that refers to anything that has mass and volume-in other words, physical objects. This competency looks at basic concepts in chemistry. The teacher understands physical properties of and changes in matter.
