experimental chemistry

Question 1

describe the arrangement, forces, movement and spaces between/of the particles

Answer 1

solid
- packed close together (high density) in an orderly manner
- cannot be compressed
- held together by strong forces of attraction
- able to vibrate in fixed position
liquid
- packed close together (high density) in a disorderly manner/arrangement
- cannot be compressed fully
-held together by strong forces of attraction
- able to move throughout the liquid, particles slide and roll over one another
gas
- far apart, in a random arrangement
- can be compressed
- held together by weak forces
- able to to move in all directions at high speed
