Matter
Can it be chemically decomposed?
Properties of Matter
Solids
The molecules that make up a solid are arranged in regular, repeating patterns. They are held firmly in place but can vibrate within a area.
Liquids
The molecules that make up a liquid flow easily around one another. They are kept from flying apart by attractive forces between them. Liquids assume the shape of their containers.
Gas
The molecules that make up a gas fly in all directions at great speed. They are so far apart that the attractive forces between them are insignificant
Plasma
At very high temperatures of stars, atoms lose their electrons. The mixture of electrons and nuclei that results is the plasma state of matter
