difference between particles in solids, liquids and gases Flashcards
kinetic particle theory
kinetic particle theory states that all ,after is made up of tiny particle and these particles are in constant random motion
particle arrangement of solids
very closely packed in an orderly manner
particle arrangement if liquid
closely packed in a disorderly manner
particle arrangement of gas
very far apart in a disorderly manner
attractive forces between particles in solid
very strong
attractive forces between particles of liquid
less strong
attractive forces between particles of gas
very weak
kinetic energy of particles in solids
very low
kinetic energy in particles in liquids
low
kinetic energy of particles in gas
high
particle movement of solids
vibrates about fixed positions
particle movement of liquid
slides past one another freely throughout the liquid
particle movement in gas
moves quickly and randomly in any direction
shape of solid
definite
shape of liquid
indefinite
shape of gas
indefinite
volume of solid
definite
volume of liquid
definite
volume of gas
indefinite
compressibility of solid
cannot be compressed
compressibility of liquid
cannot be compressed
compressibility of gas
can be compressed
solid
-particles are closely packed in an orderly manner
-attractive forces between particles are very strong
-kinetic energy of particles are very low
-particles vibrate about their fixed positions
-definite shape and volume
-cannot be compressed
liquid
-particles arranged in a closely packed and disorderly manner
-attractive forces between particles are less strong
-kinetic energy of particles is low
-particles slide past one another freely throughout the liquid
-indefinite shape but definite mass
-cannot be compressed
