MeltingInto a liquid…

•Solids hold their own shape.• They have weight and they take up space.•Molecules in solids are packed tightly together and they have very little energy.•Solids have definite shape, volume and density.

Solid + Energy = Liquid

MeltingInto a liquid…

Solid + Energy = Liquid

Examples of a solid to liquid:

Ice into water…

MeltingInto a liquid…

Solid + Energy = Liquid

Examples of a solid to liquid:

Rock into lava…

LiquidLiquid Molecules in liquids are loosely packed, and have an energy level that is between the energy level of solids and gasses.

Liquids take the shape of their container, have weight, and take up space.

Liquids have definite volume and density but no definite shape

VaporizingInto a gas…

Liquid + Energy = Gas

VaporizingInto a gas…

Liquid + Energy = Gas

Examples of a liquid to gas:

Water to steam…

VaporizingInto a gas…

Liquid + Energy = Gas

Examples of a liquid to gas:

Gasoline into Exhaust…

GasGas Gasses spread out to the entire space given, and they have weight and take up space.

Molecules in gasses move freely and have lots of energy.

Gasses don’t have a definite shape, volume or density.

CondensingInto a liquid…

Gas + Energy = Plasma

Gas - Energy = Liquid

GasGasGas + Energy = Plasma

Gas - Energy = Liquid

CondensingInto a liquid…

Examples of a gas to liquid:

Evaporation into rain…
