Understanding Matter: States, Mixtures, and Synthetic Materials

Matter is formed by particles. A model represents how matter behaves and is based on two key ideas:

  • Matter is formed by tiny particles.
  • These particles that make up matter are in constant movement.

States of Matter

Solid

Particles are tightly bound and do not produce any movement; they only vibrate.

Liquid

Particles are less united and less ordered, allowing them to move.

Gas

Particles are together but can move freely.

Changes of State

If the temperature changes, a substance can transition from one state to

Understanding IP Addresses: Types, Classes, and Configuration

Understanding IP Addresses

An IP address is a series of 32 binary bits (ones and zeros). In a byte, the rightmost bit has a value of 1, and the values of the remaining bits from right to left are 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128. The first part identifies the network, and the second part identifies a host on that network. Both parts are necessary in an IP address. For example, the first three octets (192.168.1.8) identify the network portion of the address, and the last octet (57) identifies the host.
