kinetic theory Flashcards
the particles in a solid, liquid and gas are…
all the same size, they are just arranged differently
solid
neat rows and columns
fixed postion + volume
very closely packed
liquid
some bonds but less order
takes shape of container
fixed volume
gas
particles very far apart
move randomly + quickly
gas fills space available (doesn’t have fixed volume)
particles in a gas have
the most kinetic energy
particles in a solid have
the least kinetic energy
solid - liquid
melting
liquid - gas
evaporating/boling
gas - liquid
condensation
liquid - solid
freezing
solid - gas
sublimation

shows melting point and boring point in solid, liquid and gas
if you heat a gas, liquid or solid it….
