1
Q
equation for density
A
mass/volume
2
Q
solid (4)
A
very high density
retains its own shape
fixed volume- not compressible
vibrates about a fixed point
3
Q
liquid (4)
A
high density
assumes shape of container
fixed volume- not compressible
moves randomly by sliding past each other
4
Q
gas (4)
A
low density
assumes shape of container
no fixed volume- highly compressible
constant random motion, with a range of fast speeds
