particle model Flashcards
1
Q
particle model: solids
A
particles are tightly packed and in a regular arrangement which is why they have a high density
particles vibrate on the spot and cant be compressed
2
Q
particle model : liquids
A
particles are tightly packed and in a random arrangement which is why they have a high density
particles move freely and it is difficult for liquids to be compressed
particles in a liquid have more energy than in a solid
3
Q
particle model: gases
A
particles are spaced out and in a random arrangement which is why they have a low density
particles move freely it is relatively easy for liquids to be compressed
particles in a gas have more energy than in liquids and solids
