The three states of Matter in terms of the arrangement, movement and energy of the particles

Question 1

What state of matter does this arrangement show?

Answer 1

Question 2

What state of matter does this arrangement show?

Answer 2

Question 3

What state of matter does this arrangement show?

Answer 3

Question 4

Describe the particle arrangement in a solid:

Answer 4

They are arranged in a regular lattice structure and are packed closely together. The particles vibrate and cannot move around. They have strong forces of attraction that keep them together.

Question 5

Describe the particle arrangement in a liquid:

Answer 5

Particles are still mostly touching, but some gaps appear. The particles can move around each other because the force between the particles is less effective. The particles in a liquid are arranged randomly.

Question 6

Describe the particle arrangement in a solid:

Answer 6

The particles in a gas move at a high speed in all directions. There are (almost) no forces of attraction so the particles are much further apart.

Question 7

Particles in a solid have less kinetic energy than the particles in a liquid, which have less kinetic energy than the particles in a gas

Answer 7

Particles in a solid have less kinetic energy than the particles in a liquid, which have less kinetic energy than the particles in a gas

Question 8

You cant walk through a brick wall because of the strong forces of attraction between the particles

Answer 8

You cant walk through a brick wall because of the strong forces of attraction between the particles

Question 9

You can swim through water because you can push the particles out of the way

Answer 9

You can swim through water because you can push the particles out of the way

Question 10

It is easy to move through a gas because there are (almost) no forces between the particles

Answer 10

It is easy to move through a gas because there are (almost) no forces between the particles
