- Anything that has mass and takes up space.

|
- All matter – regardless of its size, shape, or color – is made of
particles (atoms and molecules) that are too small to be seen with the
eye.
- Air, water, humans, dogs, shoes
and cars are all made of atoms and molecules. Atoms are so small, it
would take nearly 10 million atoms just to cross this dot.

|
- The characteristics of a substance that can be measured without changing
the substance.
- They are observable.
|
|
4
|
- Mass – the amount of matter in an object
- Weight – the pull of gravity on matter
- Volume – the amount of space anything occupies
- Density – mass per unit of volume
|
|
5
|
- Melting point – the temperature at which matter melts
- Boiling point – the temperature
at which matter boils
- Freezing point – the temperature at which matter freezes
|
|
6
|
- Evaporation – changing from a liquid to a gas
- Condensation – changing from a gas to a liquid
- Solubility – the ability of a substance to dissolve

- As its temperature increases, many kinds of matter change from a
solid to a liquid to a gas. As its temperature decreases, that matter
changes from a gas to a liquid to a solid.

|
- The state of matter with a definite shape and volume.
|
|
10
|
- The state of matter with a definite volume but no definite shape.
|
|
11
|
- The state of matter with no definite shape or volume.

|
- Matter looks different and behaves differently when it changes from one
state to another.
All particles of matter are in constant random motion. Particles
of liquid water have less energy and move slower than particles of water
vapor. And particles of solid water or ice have even less energy than
liquid water and move even slower.

matter in action.
