The Particle Theory of The Particle Theory of MatterMatter
1.1. All matter is made up of tiny All matter is made up of tiny particlesparticles..2.2. These particles are always These particles are always movingmoving; they ; they
have have energyenergy..3.3. There are There are spacesspaces among the particles. among the particles.4.4. There are There are attractive forces attractive forces between between
the particles-these attractions may be the particles-these attractions may be strong or weak.strong or weak.
5.5. The particles of one substance differ The particles of one substance differ from the particles of other substances.from the particles of other substances.
States of MatterStates of Matter
As you are already aware, there are As you are already aware, there are three states of matter:three states of matter:– SolidSolid– LiquidLiquid– GasGas
These states can also be explained These states can also be explained using the using the particle theory of matterparticle theory of matter..
States of Matter - SolidStates of Matter - Solid
Let’s consider a pencil. Discuss the following with your class.– Describe the shape of a pencil.– Would this shape change if you were to
put it in your pocket? – How much space (volume) does the
pencil take up?– Would this amount change in your back
pocket?
States of Matter - SolidStates of Matter - Solid A A solidsolid is said to have a is said to have a::
– Definite shape Definite shape since the particles since the particles have:have: very little kinetic energyvery little kinetic energy particles only vibrate particles only vibrate particles are not free to move aroundparticles are not free to move around
– Definite volumeDefinite volume particles are held together by strong forces.particles are held together by strong forces.
States of Matter – Liquid
Now let’s consider a bottle of Gatorade. Discuss the following with your class:– Describe the shape of the Gatorade.– Would this shape change if you were to
put it in a glass?– What is the volume of the Gatorade?– Would this volume change if you poured
it in a glass (if you didn’t spill any!).
Three States of MatterThree States of Matter A A liquidliquid is said to have a: is said to have a:
– Indefinite shape Indefinite shape (shape can change)(shape can change) Particles move more freely (more kinetic Particles move more freely (more kinetic
energy)energy) Particles take the shape of their containerParticles take the shape of their container
– Definite volumeDefinite volume Particles are held together by strong Particles are held together by strong
attractions. attractions.
States of Matter - Gas
Finally, let’s consider air – a gas.– Describe the shape of the air in your
classroom.– Describe the volume of the air.– Now, imagine you can take the air in
your classroom and put it in a larger room. Would the shape change? Would the volume change?
States of Matter - States of Matter - GasGas A A gasgas is said to have a(n):is said to have a(n):
– Indefinite ShapeIndefinite Shape Particles are moving constantly (a lot of Particles are moving constantly (a lot of
kinetic energy) and randomly in all kinetic energy) and randomly in all directions.directions.

– Indefinite VolumeIndefinite Volume Attractions are very weak and particles are Attractions are very weak and particles are
far apart.far apart.
