solids liquids and gases Flashcards
particles in a solid are very close together what does this mean
they are usually very dense, are not easily compressed
what type of arrangement do the particles in a solid have
a regular arrangement
what are the forces of attraction like in a solid
the force of attraction between particles in a solid are strong
particles cant move mush nut can vibrate in a fixed position what does this mean
they have a definite shape, have definite volume, don’t flow
what are solids liquids and gases called
states of matter
because the particles in a liquid are close together what does this mean about liquids
are fairly dense, are not easily compressed
what is the arrangement like in a liquid
random
particles can move around each other but what does this mean about liquids
don’t have a definite shape, have definite volume, flow easily
what are the forces of attraction like in a liquid
weak
beacues the particles in gases are far apart what does this mean
have a low density, are easily compressed
what sort of arrangement do particles in a gas have
random
because particles move in all directions what does this mean gases have
they dont have a definite shape , dont have a definite volume and flow easily
what are the forces of attraction between particles in a gas like
very weak
