States Of Matter

Question 1

What are the 3 things forces of attraction are dependent on?

Answer 1

Dependent on:

1) Material

2) Temperature

3) Pressure

Question 2

State the 3 properties of solids

Answer 2

1) Strong FOA between particles, holds close together in fixed positions forming very regular lattice arrangement

2) Particles don’t move, have definite shape + volume

3) Particles vibrate, hotter solid → more vibration, more expaning

Question 3

State the 3 properties of liquids

Answer 3

1) Weak FOA between particles. Randomly arranged, free to move past each other, stay close together

2) Definite volume, NO definite shape, fill bottom of container

3) Particles move in random motion. Hotter liquid → faster move + expand

Question 4

State and explain the 3 different properties of gases

Answer 4

1) FOA between particles very weak. Free to move + far apart. Particles travel in straight lines

2) NO definite, No definite volume. Fill any container

3) Particles move with random motion. Hotter → faster, expand, pressure increases
