Q

What do particles in a solid do?

A

The particles in a solid are closely packed together and just vibrate on the spot.

17
Q

What do particles in a liquid do?

A

The particles in a liquid are packed closely together but are able to move about and slide over one another. This gives the particles the ability to flow.

18
Q

What do particles in a gas do?

A

Gas particles push against the walls of the balloons. This pushing results in pressure which keeps the balloons inflated.

19
Q

Sublimation

A

Solid to a gas (without going through the liquid)

20
