Chemistry mocks Flashcards
Week 5
1.1 solids,liquids,gases - State the distinguishing properties of solid
Solids:
- Definite shape and volume.
- Particles are closely packed in a regular arrangement.
- Particles vibrate in fixed positions.
- Solids are not easily compressible.
1.1 state the distinguishing properties of liquids
Liquids:
- Definite volume but no definite shape.
- Particles are close together but can move past each other.
- Particles have more freedom of movement compared to solids.
- Liquids are not easily compressible.
1.1 state the distinguishing properties of gases
Gases:
- No definite shape or volume.
- Particles are far apart and move freely.
- Gases fill the container they are in.
- Gases are highly compressible.
