How do you find Density
Mass/Volume
Measure of the gravitational force of an object
Varies depending on where it is in relationship to Earth
Measured with a spring scale
Expressed in Newtons
Weight
The tendency for objects to resist change in motion
Inertia
Examples of physical properties
thermal conductivity, solid, liquid, gas, malleability, ductility, solubility, density
Examples of chemical properties
Flammability, reactivity, rust, enthalpy, tarnish
No shape or matter
Particles have broken apart
Conduct electric current
Magnetic and electric fields can affect plasma
Naturally occurring in lightning and fire
Can be created by passing electrons through gases
Plasma
Has a definite shape and volume
Solid
Change shape but not volume
Liquid
Does not have a definite shape or volume
Gases
WE CAN DESCRIBE THE STATES OF MATTER USING THE KINETIC MOLECULAR THEORY
