states of matter

solids
1. solids are hard
  1. they have a fixed shaped
    1. and are not compressible
      1. because the particles are packed
        closely together and cannot move
        h20 ice= <0 degrees
liquids
1. have no fixed shape & are slightly compressible because
  1. the particles are free to move compared to solid particles
    1. h20 water= 0-100 degrees
gas
1. gas is very compressible &
  1. takes the shape of whatever
    1. container there're in therefore
      1. they can move around more freely
        h20 water vapor(steam)
        >100 degrees
the 4 processes in water are
1. condensing
  1. evaporation
    1. freezing
      1. melting
the difference between particles
1. is temperature
  1. temperature is the measure of how hot or cold somthing
    1. is and it is determined by the presence of heat energy
      1. as you apply heat temperature increases
        cold-low heat energy
        hot- high heat energy
ice to water is melting
1. water to ice is freezing
  1. water to water vapour is boiling
    1. water vapor to water is condensation
