Conductivity
Describes how easily electricity or heat can move through a material
Kinetic energy
Energy of movement
Solid particles
They r packed so tightly together that they can only vibrate in place.
Liquid particles
Hey r farther apart and can slide past each other.
Gas particles
They r far apart and move around freely and quickly
Kinetic molecular theory
Describes what happens to particles of matter during a change of state
