matter 1.4 Flashcards
Solid
Particles very attracted to one another
Vibrate
Stay in fixed position (keep their shape)
Condensation
Water vapor (gas) slows down to overcome their speed to become liquid
Evpoation
Liquid particles gain energy and break away from one another to become a gas
Melting
Orderly arrangement (in a solid) collapses (becomes undone) and particles become liquid
Freezing
Particles slow down enough to be in a fixed position (not moving around)
Liquid
Attracted not as strong as solids
Randomly arranged (every which way)
Slightly further apart
Takes shape of container
Gas
Particles have very weak attraction
Move freely past each other
Fills and takes the shape of their container
Conduction
Energy is transferred by fast moving particles hitting the slow moving particles
