    Directed Reading B
    Section: Four States of Matter
    MATTER: MOVING PARTICLES
    1. What is a state of matter?

    States of matter are the physical forms of substances.

    2. What are the three most familiar states of matter?

    Gas, solid, and liquid.

    3. Matter is made up of particles called atoms and

    Molecules .

    Match the correct description with the correct state of matter. Write the letter in
    the space provided.

    ______
    a 4. Particles do not move fast enough to a. solid
    overcome the strong attraction between them. b. liquid
    ______
    C 5. Particles move independently of one another. c. gas

    ______
    b 6. Particles are close together but can slide past
    one another.

    SOLIDS

    ______ 7. The particles of matter that make up a solid


    a. have a weaker attraction than those of a liquid.
    b. do not move at all.
    c. do not move fast enough to overcome the force of attraction.
    d. move from place to place.
    8. What is the definition of a solid in terms of shape and volume?

    Solids occupy a fixed volume and have a fixed shape; they cannot
    expand or change shape.

    LIQUIDS
    9. How do the particles of a liquid make it possible to pour juice into a glass?

    Liquid’s particles can move past each other. They are close, but can move
    and take new shapes and can be poured.
    10. The juice in a beaker is poured into a graduated cylinder. The volume of
    juice in either container is 350 mL. What does this show you about the
    properties of a liquid?

    liquid has a fixed volume, but can take new shapes.

    GASES
    11. What is the definition of a gas in terms of shape and volume?

    Gas has neither a fixed shape nor volume.

    12. How is it possible for one small tank of helium to fill hundreds of balloons?

    Gas can expand. Gas in a tank is condensed, pushed together, but as soon
    as it’s released, it expands to take up more volume.

    PLASMAS
    13. What state of matter makes up more than 99% of the matter in the universe?

    Plasma.
    14. How do plasmas behave differently than gases?

    Plasmas react to electrical and magnetic currents, and are ionized.

    15. Give one example of a natural plasma and one example of an artificial
    plasma.

    Light in a neon light is artificial, but lightning is natural.
