Chapter 1: States of Matter Flashcards
Arrangement of particles in solid
Fixed, regular lattice structure
Motion of particles in solid
Vibrate at fixed position
Distance between particles in solid
Particles are touching one another
Kinetic energy of particles in solid
Low kinetic energy but enough for particles to vibrate at fixed position
Volume in solid
Fixed volume
Shape in solid
Cannot flow
Arrangement of particles in liquid
Random, no fixed pattern
Motion of particles in liquid
Slide past one another
Distance between particles in liquid
Particles are close together
Kinetic energy between particles in liquid
Higher kinetic energy than in solid particles
Volume in liquid
Fixed volume
Shape in liquid
Can flow and follows shape of container
Arrangement of particles in gas
Random
Motion of particles in gas
Particles move around randomly and rapidly
Distance between particles in gas
Particles are far apart
