States of Matter
Learning Time: 4-12 hours
Content: States of matter is the subject that examines the solid, liquid, gas, and plasma states of matter. This field covers molecular order (crystal structures), phase changes (melting, boiling), kinetic theory, gas laws (Boyle, Charles), and plasma properties. TYT focuses on fundamental states and phase changes, while AYT focuses on gas mixtures and thermodynamic relationships. The current 2025 curriculum also covers phase analyses related to superfluids and climate change. Learning this topic provides a basic framework for understanding the physical properties of matter.
