This document discusses states of matter and properties of matter. It defines the five known states of matter as solids, liquids, gases, plasma, and Bose-Einstein condensates. The three primary states are solids, liquids, and gases. The state that matter exists in depends on intermolecular forces, temperature, and pressure. Changes between states of matter are reversible physical changes, while chemical changes result in new substances. Key measurable gas properties discussed are mass, volume, temperature, pressure, density, and diffusion rate. Several gas laws relating these properties are also outlined.
