does gas and liquid have a fixed shape?
no, only solid have fixed shapes
describe the movement of particles in liquids?
particles slide past each other
describe the movement of particles in gases?
particles move rapidly and randomly
what are the states of matter?
solid, liquid and gas
describe the movement of particles in a solid?
particles vibrate about a fixed position

Guidelines to draw particles
- At least 75% of space should be covered
- At least 9 particles drawn (for solid & liquid states)
- Minimum 3 for gaseous state
- All particles are to be of the same size
- Space between any 2 particles should be smaller than the size of 1 particle
What is the relative charge and mass of a proton?
relative charge: +1
relative mass: 1
What is the relative charge and mass of a Neutron?
relative charge: 0
relative mass: 1
What is the relative charge and mass of a Electron?
relative charge: -1
relative mass: 1/1840
What is sublimation?
We can define sublimation as the transition of a substance from the solid phase to the gaseous phase without changing into the liquid phase.
define proton (atomic) number
The number of protons in the atom
