| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Describe the properties of solids liquids and gases in terms of shape and volue. | Solids have a fixed volume but do not have a fixed shape. Liquids have a fixed volume but do not have a fixed shape. Gases do not have a fixed shape or a fixed volume |
| Why do small specks of matter move in Brownian motion? | The specks are hit by moving particles that make up liquids or gases. |
| Describe the arrangement of particles in a gas, liquid and solid | In gases the particles are far apart. In liquids the particles are close together but not in rows. each other. In solids the particles are close together in rows. |
| Describe the movement of particles in a gas, liquids and solids | In gases the particles move randomly. In liquids they move around each other. In solids they vibrate |
| Why do small specks of matter move in Brownian motion? | The specks are hit by moving particles that make up liquids or gases. |
| Why can gases be easily squashed whereas liquids and solids cannot. | In gases the particles are far apart. In liquids and solids they are close together. |
| Explain what happens to particles making up a liquid or gas during diffusion. | They mix and spread out without anything moving them |
| How do the particles of a gas cause gas pressure? | They hit the walls of the container. |
| Name the changes of state that take place from solid to liquid to gas and back again. | melting --> boiling--> condensation --> freezing |
| Why will increasing the volume of container filled with a gas decrease the pressure of that gas? | The particles of gas will hit the walls of the container less often. |
| Compare the strength of forces between particles in solids liquids and gases | Solids > Liquids > Gases |
| Explain three ways of increasing the pressure of a gas | Raise the temperature, Decrease the volume, Increase the amount of gas |
