states of matter

Question 1

define chemistry

Answer 1

study of matter

Question 2

define matter

Answer 2

made up of particles that occupy space that are all around us and exists in three states

Question 3

categorise solids (7)

Answer 3

structure - ordered regular repeating vibrate about fixed positions
movement - not free to move and only vibrate
foa - strong
least kinetic energy
least compressibility
fixed and definite shape
most dense bc more particles per unit volume

Question 4

categorise liquids

Answer 4

structure - less ordered than solids with more spaces between
move less than gases
medium forces of attraction
more kinetic energy than solids
hard to compress
takes shape of container - varies
more dense than gas

Question 5

categorise gas

Answer 5

particles distributed randomly with the most space between particles
free to move
weak to nil forces of attraction
most kinetic energy
most compressibility
expands to fill container
least dense
