Particles close together but can move in any directions. They won’t keep a fixed shape like solids do.
3
Q
Gases?
A
Particles very far apart and move quickly in all directions. Collide with each other because they are far apart they can be easily compressed
4
Q
What causes pressure in gas?
A
The particles hitting the container walls
5
Q
How does increasing the temperature of the gas affect the particles and the pressure?
A
Particles move faster (more kinetic energy) and the pressure increases
