States of Matters properties

no definitie shape or volume

gas

definitie volume but no definite shape

liquid

definit volume and shape

solid

overcomes gravity

gas

gravity-bound fluid

liquid

held down by gravity

solid

highest enthalpy (internal energy)

gas

lesser enthalpy (internal energy)

liquid

lowest enthalpy (internal energy)

solid

no interactions (molecules)

gas

some interactions (molecules)

liquid

max innteractions (molecules)

solids

individualized

gas

molecular droplets

liquids

crystal structure

solid

invisible

gas

translucent

liquid

opaque

solids

all 3 types of motion max translational

gases

all 3 types of motion limited translational

liquid

no significant translational

solids

if your going to solid to liquid

melting

when going from liquid to solid (does not have to be cold)

freezing

when a liquid becomes a gas

boiling

when gas to liquid

condensing

translational

motion from place to place - this is responsible for air pressure because the moving molecules exert force when they collide with colors

rotational

molecules twist, turn, backflip, etc etc…

vibrational

atoms bounce around on their bonds
