factors that determine the given type of matter
nature of the particle, chemical bond type, temperature, pressure, etc.
most important factor in determining the given type of matter?
temperature
degree of hotness or coldness of an object
temperature
measurement of heat or how fast the particles are moving
temperature
related to the effect of temperature that affects the state of matter and the motion of the particles
kinetic energy
very low kinetic energy
solid
low kinetic energy
liquid
high kinetic energy
gas
particles vibrate + rotate abt fixed pos
solid
particles slide over each other
liquid
particles move at high speeds
gas
def shape and volume
solids
particles are closely packed together; usually arranged in regular pattern
solids
process in which a solid substance changes into a liquid state due to an increase in temperature
melting
definite volume, no fixed shape
liquids
