Matter & Energy
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Kinetic Theory of Matter: | All matter is made of atoms and molecules. These atoms and molecules act like tiny particles that are always in motion. |
| States of Matter | 1. Solids 2. Liquids 3. Gases |
| Solids-definite shape and definite volume. | Particles vibrate back and forth in place. - Particles are held together by strong forces of attraction. - Solids have a rigid structure and particles can’t easily change position. |
| Liquids- definite volume, but no definite shape. | Liquids take the shape of their container. - Particles in a liquid “slide” past each other. - Particles are moving fast enough to overcome some of the forces of attraction between them. - Liquids flow freely |
| Gases- no definite shape or volume. | - Particles independent of one another. - Particles move fast enough to overcome nearly all the forces of attraction between them. - Gases flow like liquids (Both are considered FLUIDS…anything that can flow) |
