what is matter
anything that has a mass on a scale or takes up space

what is the fixed pattern called
lattice
how are the atoms packed in a liquid
they are close together but they move around
how are the atoms packed in a gas
they are spread out
mass =
amount of matter in an object
what is brownian motion
the random movement of particles when visible particles bump into invisible particles causing the visible particles to move.
definition of diffusion
the movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration until equilibrium is reached.
do all gases travel at the same speed
no
definition of dissolve
a substance dissolves when it separates into particles and the particles spread throughout the solution.
what is a solute
