MATTER
is any substance which has mass and occupies space. All physical objects are composed
of matter, in the form of atoms, which are in turn composed of protons, neutrons, and
electrons.
Matter is built from atoms. The most basic atom, the isotope of hydrogen known as
protium, is a single proton.
solid is any matter in a form that has a definite shape and volume.
liquid is any matter that has a definite volume but no definite shape.
gas is any matter that does not have a fixed shape or volume.
Plasma is matter that exists in the form of high energy charged particles.
Changing the amount of heat energy usually causes a temperature change. However,
DURING the phase change, the temperature stays the same even though the heat
energy changes. This energy is directed into changing the phase and not into raising the
temperature.
The Kinetic molecular theory considers that atoms and molecules which make up the
matter are always in constant motion.
6. LONDON-DISPERSION FORCES
the result of an electrostatic interaction between a charged ion and a molecule that has
a dipole.
It is an attractive force that is commonly found in solutions, especially ionic compounds
dissolved in polar liquids.
