anything occupies space and has mass

part of phases of matter

state of matter with a defined appearance. It has its own shape, and has very little to no molecular movement. This is the state of matter with a very rigid molecular structure. An example is diamond.

the state of matter with molecular movement. Its movement is dictated by how fast the liquid flows. It has no shape of its own due to its loose molecular structure. Instead, it takes the shape of its container. An example is a glass of lemon juice.

state of matter with high molecular movement. Its molecular structure is looser than liquid. It behaves the same way as a liquid. An example is the air we breathe.

formed when particles are cooled to near. Absolute zero

state of matter with a very high molecular movement. Due to heat, a gas becomes plasma due to the energy it absorbs and releases, making its molecules move even faster. High temperature plasmas glow a certain color. An example is the neon light fixture seen in restaurants.

matter happens when heat is introduced. Heat allows molecules to absorb energy, thereby increasing its energy levels. Increasing energy means movement among particles. Removing heat causes the molecules to lose energy, compacting together.

process of adding heat to a solid, causing its form to become a liquid

process of adding heat to a liquid, causing its loose molecular bonds to break further, turning into a gas

process of adding heat to a gas, adding energy to it, charging the molecules into ions

process of removing heat in a plasma, returning the ions to a ground state, becoming a gas. Sometimes called deionization.

process of transferring energy in gas molecules to the surrounding area, forcing the gas molecules to form bonds and coalesce into a liquid

process of transferring heat in liquids to the surrounding area, forcing the molecules to reform and bond into a solid

process of adding energy to a solid, dissipating into a gas without transitioning to the liquid phase

process of transferring energy from the gas molecules to the surrounding area, forcing them to combine and make “deposits” of clumped gas molecules together, reforming into a solid
