These three forms of matter are called the states of matter. For example, water (liquid) ‘can exist as ice (solid) or water vapour (gas). ‘Most substances can exist in each of the three states of matter. Matter can change from one state to another due to changes in temperature and pressure. For example, on freezing, water ‘becomes ice; on boiling, water becomes water vapour. The three states of matter have very different properties as summarised in Table 1.1. hem-Aid 1. A vapour is a gas that exists at room temperature and pressure (tp). For example, ‘water vapour is inthe air we breathe. Vapour can be given off by aliquid even when ‘the liquid isnot boing. 2. Toindlcate the state ofa substance, we use the state symbols for solid, for liquid and 4 for gas or vapour. The state symbol aq is used for substances dissolved in ‘water. The state symbol is written within brackets and placed after the formula of the substance. [formula of substance La satesymbo!

The ‘dancing’ dust that you see in a beam of light is actually the result'of air particles moving gnd bumping into dust! Air particles are too small to be seen by our eyes, therefore we can only see the dust moving. ‘This explanation for ‘dancing’ dust is based on the kinetic particle theory. The kinetic particle theory states that all ‘matter is made up of tiny particles and that these particles are in constant, random motion. Moving particles have kinetic energy, hence the name kinetic particle theory. We shall now learn more about the kinetic particle theory. The kinetic particle theory © describes the states of matter, © explains the differences in the properties of solids, liquids and gases, © explains the changes of state. ‘Dancing’ dust Is evidence that particles of air are moving about constantly. What other everyday observations prove that particles of matter are in constant motion? [— sereen ‘cous ep sog anu [et Lt beam of light hem-Aid ‘The word ‘kinetic’ refersto ‘motion. For example, ‘kinetic energy’ isthe energy of a ‘moving object. BO cic According to the kinetic particle theory, the particles of a solid are closely packed in an orderly pattern (Fig. 1.1).
