States of matter Flashcards
structure of solid,liquid and gas
describe force between particles
arrangement
movement
s-strong forces attraction-hold in fixed position, regular lattice arrangement,hardly move vibrate on spot
l-some force,free to move past each other(tend to stick together)constantly moving with random motion
g-almost no force of attraction,move constantly with random motion,travel in staight lines and only interact when collide
When heated what happens to them
s-particles vibrate more,expand slightly
l-particles move faster and expand
g-faster they move ,expand/pressure increases
what is sublimation?
solid to gas
explain why physical changes are easier to reverse than chemical ones
bc chemical change atoms are rearranged to make new substances physical change atoms arent rearranged just the state of matter changes
