States Of Matter

Question 1

Describe a solid:

Answer 1

1.) Strong forces of attraction between particles, which holds them in fixed and regular positions
2.) Don’t have much energy
3.) Only vibrate around fixed positions and slightly expand when heated up due to particles vibrating more

Question 2

Describe liquids:

Answer 2

1.) Some force of attraction that allows particles to flow over one another.
2.) Liquids have a random arrangement and will flow to fill the space
3.) More energy than solid
4.) Random motion and the hotter it gets, the faster they will move, which will cause it to expand a bit

Question 3

Describe gases:

Answer 3

1.) No force of attraction and free to move. Only interact when they collide.
2.) Don’t keep a shape and will always fill up the space.
3.) Has more energy than solid and liquid
4.) Random motion, and when heated, the particles move quicker, increasing the pressure in the container and they also expand a bit
