Q

Solids properties:

A
Close together
Regular pattern
Fixed position
Can't flow (particles can't move)
Can't be compressed/squashed (no space to move to- too close together)

Q

Gases properties:

A

Far apart
Random pattern
Move quickly in any direction
Flow & fill container (can move fast in all directions
Can be compressed/squashed (far apart- space to move into)

Q

What is convection?

A

The transfer of heat within a fluid due to hotter and less dense material to rise and colder more dense material to sink.

Q

Why does a fluid become less dense when it is heated?

A

When a fluid is heated the particles expand and moving apart, causing the fluid to become less dense.
