Describe how the particles change in arrangement when a solid turns into a liquid | Forces between particles weaken and they move more freely. The particles are not arranged in order |
Describe how the particles change in arrangement when a liquid turns into a solid | Forces strengthen, particles move close together in ordered rows |
Describe how the particles change in arrangement when a gas turns into a liquid | Forces strengthen, particles move closer together |
Describe how the particles change in arrangement when a liquid turns into a gas | Forces between particles weaken and they move freely. They are spaced far apart |
