Solid, Liquid And Gases- Triple Flashcards
1
Q
Particle theory
A
Temperature of gas (kelvin) is proportional to the average kinetic energy of particles
2
Q
In a sealed container
A
Pressure / temperature (kelvin) = constant
p1 /t1 = p2 / t2
3
Q
Solid
A
Strong forces of attraction hold the particles close together on a fixed, regular arragement and can only vibrate
4
Q
Liquid
A
- Weaker forces of attraction between the particles
- Particles are close together but can move past each other and form irregular arrangements
- They have more energy than solids and move in random directions at slow speeds
5
Q
Gas
A
- Almost no forces of attraction
- They have more energy than solids and liquids
- They are free to move and travel in random directions and at high speeds
6
Q
Evaporation
A
Is when particles escape from a liquid and become gas particles
