Solid: A solid is something that does not take the shape of its container and does not allow things to poke through easily. Also, if you were to come close to the atoms of the solid, all of the molecules and atoms would be fairly close together and there is hardly any movement.
Fluid: A fluid is something that does take shape of its container, and is fairly easy to poke th
ings through it, but slows it down. Also, if you were to come close to the atoms of the liquid, all of the molecules and atoms would be able to move freely, but still not too far apart from one another and some movement.
Gas: A gas is something that does take
shape of its container, and is extremely easy to poke things through it. Also, if you were to come close to the atoms of the gas, all of the molecules and atoms would be flying around freely and at random distances from one another, with a lot of movement.
Plasma: Eventually, given enough heat, the electrons and nucleus become separated and into positively, charged ions and negatively charged electrons. This soup of ions and electrons is known as a plasma
Temperature is also part of matter. Temperature changes the atoms kinetic energy, also the faster the atoms move, the farther they move from being a solid.
How is one phase different from another?
the temperature, and the distance between each atom.
Identifying Tests:
Place it into Zip lock Bag:
Solid: it will stay the same shape
Liquid: it will take the shape of its container
Gas: when the bag is closed it will be inflated with an invisible substance
Place on the table:
Solid: when we remove the substance the table will have no stains
Liquid:
when we remove the substance the table will have wet stains
Gas:
when we remove the invisible substance the table will have no stains
