why on a temperature time graph is there some flat sections
the energy is not going increasing the temperature as it is being used in the change of state
solid
regular pattern
particles vibrate around fixed position
low energy
strong force of attraction between particles
definite shape and volume, don’t flow
liquid
randomly arranged
move around each other
no definite shape but definite volume, makes shape of container
medium energy
weak force of attraction between particles
gas
randomly arranged
move quickly in all directions
high energy
no definite shape or volume, fill its container
force of attraction between particles weak
