Term | Definition |
---|---|
solid | solid are arranged in a regular pattern.solid have a low amount of kinetic energy. |
solid | solid vibrate in a fixed position and are tightly packed together.cannot be compressed because the particles are very close together. |
liquid | a liquid are randomly arranged.The greater amount of kinetic energy than particles in a solid. |
liquid | Liquids are able to flow and can take the shape of the container that they are placed in cannot be compressed because the particles are close together. |
gas | gas are randomly arranged.move around very quickly in all directions.highest amount of kinetic energy. |
gas | gas are far apart from one another.Gases can be compressed; when squashed, the particles have empty space to move into. |
states of matter | For a substance to change from one state to another, energy must be transferred.attractive forces between particles during melting. |
states of matter | The particles gain energy. This results in the breaking of some of the attractive forces between particles during melting. |
states of matter | Note the difference between boiling and evaporation. When a liquid evaporates, |
states of matter | particles leave the surface of the liquid only. |
states of matter | When a liquid boils, bubbles of gas form throughout |
states of matter | the liquid before rising to the surface and escaping. |
