Name 3 things about a solids arrangement
They are very close together
They have a regular shape
They have a fixed volume and shape
Name 2 things about a solids movement
The particles viabrate
They cannot move
Name 3 things about a liquids arrangement
The particles are close but with weaker forces of attraction
The particles are randomly arranged
They have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container
Describe a liquids movement
The particles move from place to place, moving over each other at random.
Name 3 things about a gases arrangement
The particles are far apart
There are no forces of attraction between particles
No fixed volume or shape
Describe a gases movement
The particles move rapidly and randomly
What is a solvent?
A liquid
What is a solid?
A solute
What is a solution?
