Chemistry (states of matter)

Question 1

What are the arrangement PATTERNS of solids, liquids and gases?

Answer 1

1. Solids are arranged in a regular pattern
2. Liquids are arranged in an irregular pattern
3. Gases are arranged randomly

Question 2

What are the arrangement of the PARTICLES in solids, liquids and gases?

Answer 2

1. Particles in a solid are very close together and they vibrate around fixed points.
2. Particles in a liquid move randomly and freely, sliding over each other.
3. Particles in gases are far apart.

Question 3

What are the fixed shapes + volumes of solids, liquids and gases?

Answer 3

1. Solids have a fixed shape+volume
2. Liquids have a fixed volume but takes the shape of its container
3. Gases do not have a fixed shape or volume

Question 4

What are the different kinds of flow of solids, liquids and gases?

Answer 4

1. Solids do not flow
2. Liquids flow easily
3. Gases flow easily

Question 5

Talk about the compressions of solids, liquids and gases

Answer 5

1. Very difficult to compress a solid
2. Difficult to compress a liquid (a little bit due to small gaps)
3. It’s easy to compress a gas (it’s 99.99% empty space)

Question 6

Talk about the attraction between particles in solids, liquids and gases

Answer 6

1. Particles are strongly attracted (bonded) so they can’t move freely in a solid
2. Particles are quite strongly attracted in a liquid
3. Particles are very weakly attracted in a gas

Question 7

What does the state of matter of a substance depend on?

Answer 7

1. Type of particles
2. How strongly attracted they are
3. Temperature

Question 8

How many points are there to talk about in a solid, liquid and a gas?

Answer 8

There are 7 points to talk about for each state of matter

Question 9

Name the process from a gas to a solid

Answer 9

Deposition

Question 10

Name the process from a solid to a gas

Answer 10

Sublimation

Question 11

What’s another word for ‘regular pattern’?

Answer 11

Lattice
