Q

how is liquid different from a solid in shape and volume?

A

liquids have a definite volume but it’s shape depends on the container it is in, but solids have a definite shape and volume

17
Q

how are gases and liquids similar in shape and volume?

A

there shape is both determined by there surroundings

18
Q

how are solids and gases different in the amount of space between particles?

A

The particles in a solid are packed together tightly, but the particles in a gas have very large spaces between them

19
Q

How does the space between particles change as energy is added to the particles?

A

Particles gain kinetic energy and vibrate faster, causing them to move farther apart

20
Q

what does the kinetic molecular theory describe?

A

it describes how changes in the kinetic energy of particles can result in changes in state

21
Q

what is a chemical change?

A

a change in matter that occurs when substances combine to form new substances

22
Q

what is a physical change?

A

a change in appearance but no new substances form
