Q

what is the movement and arrangement of particles in a solid?

A

in the solid state the vibrating particles form a regular pattern. this explain the fixed shape of a solid and why it can’t be compressed or poured.

Q

what is the movement and arrangement of particles in a liquid?

A

in a liquid the particles still touch their neighbours but they move around sliding over eachother. this is why you can pour but not compress a liquid.
close packed irregular structure.

Q

what is evaporation?
