Science Revision 1 Flashcards
Describe a solid
Fixed, particles vibrate on the spot, can’t be compressed, can’t flow and high density.
Describe a liquid
Randomly scattered, particles move around each other, can’t be compressed, can be poured and high density.
Describe a gas
Randomly scattered, particles far apart, can be compressed, can be poured and low density.
How do you calculate density ?
Mass divided by volume.
How do you calculate volume ?
Height x width x length.
