Uniform arrangement
Can vibrate
What are the characteristics of a liquid
Touching
No fixed position
Flow
Random arrangement
What are the characteristics of a gas

What are particles moving around described as
Kinetic energy
What is a solid into liquid called
Melting
What is a liquid into gas called
Evaporating
What is a gas into a liquid
Melting
What is a liquid into a solid
Freezing
What is a solid into a gas
Sublimation
What is a gas into a solid
Deposition
What is melting point?
0 degrees
What is evaporation
A liquid is so hot that particles start to SEPERATE to a gas due to the build up of energy
What is condensing
When a gas is so cold the energy starts to break up and making the forces stronger
