Q

Particles in states of matter

A

All the particles in a solid, liquid, or gas are the same, what changes is the amount of energy.
Solid have a low amount of energy: vibrate.
Solids are incompressible. Amorphous solid
There is no free space.

Q

Facts about liquids and gases.

A

Liquids are incompressible. No free space
Gases have a lot of energy, move quickly, and can be compresses, because there is a lot of free space.

Q

Formation of Hydrogen bonds in water

A

Water has a variety of unusual properties because of attraction between these polar molecules.
Hydrogen bonds are weak. Easy to make and break.
They are fickle = can’t make up their mind always looking for friends.
