Kinetic Theory Flashcards
When a liquid changes to a gas it
Evaporates (evaporation)
When a gas changes to a liquid it
Condenses (condensation)
When a liquid changes to a solid it
Freezes
When a gas turns to a solid it
(Sublimes) Sublimation
Is a solids shape fixed?
Yes
Is a liquids shape fixed?
No it takes the shape of the container
Is a gases shape fixed?
No it fills the entire container becoming gradually more dilute

Yes
Is a gases volume fixed?
No
What is the particle movement like in a solid?
Vibrate from side to side
What is the particle movement like in a liquid?
Move around each other
What is the particle movement like in a gas?
Random in all directions
