2.2 PHYSICAL
NATURE OF
MATTER

Malaysian Institute of Aviation Technology

Solid

A rigid form, has a definite volume and shape (independent of


its container)
Low energy state
Incompressible
Heat added to solid, molecular movement cannot move far /
close together
Solid molecule are closely
pack together. Permitting low
movement activities in the
molecules

Liquid

Assume the shape of the container but does not fill


Higher energy state
Partially bond together, the bonding force is called surface
tension
Molecules are loosely
packed in a liquid

Gas

Consume the shape of the container


Heat energy added molecular movement increase further till
surface tension can no longer hold the molecules molecules
escape as gas
Lighter than air & will expand to fill the container
Very high energy state
Compressible
Boiling point is varies directly with pressure
E.g. water boils less than 100 oC when pressure is lower than
atmospheric
