SP9a Particles and density Flashcards
What are the arrangement and properties of solids?
.fixed, regular arrangement
.only vibrate in fixed position
.cannot be compressed
.strong forces of attraction
.low level of energy in KE store
What are the arrangement and properties of liquids?
.particles are mostly touching
.particles move past each other in random directions at a range of low speeds
.cannot be compressed
.weaker forces of attraction
.more energy in KE store
What are the arrangement and properties of gases?
.particles are free to move
.travel in random direction at range of high speeds
.gases are compressible and expand to fill container
.no forces of attraction
.high level of energy in KE store
density(kg/m³) = ?
mass(kg)/volume(m³)
1cm³ = ?m³
0.000001m³
What is the density of a substance?
the mass of a certain volume of the substance.
Why are most substances most dense when solid?
because their particles are closer together.
What happens during a state change?
.re-arrangement of particles
.same number of particles
.mass is conserved
