The
forces
in a
solid
is strong
The
force
in a
liquid
is weaker than a
solid
A
gas
almost
have no force
Solids
are
fixed
, regular and touching
Liquids
are touching and can move past
each other
Gasses
are spread out,
free
to move and not touching
Solids
vibrate
around a fixed position
Liquids
move in
random directions
at a slow speed
Gasses
move in
random directions
at a high speed
Solids
have a definite shape
What does
Indefinite
mean in terms of
particles
model of matter?
Takes the shape of the container
Liquids
have an
indefinite
shape
Gasses
have an
indefinite
shape
Solids
have a
definite
volume
Liquids
have an
indefinite
shape
Liquids
have a
definite
volume
Gasses
have an
indefinite
volume
Solids
have a greater capacity for
Gravitational potential
than
kinetic energy
Liquids
has a roughly equal
kinetic energy
than
gravitational potential
Gas has a lower capacity for
gravitational
and more for
kinetic
energy

Condensation
What is the
function
of a liquid to a solid?
Freezing
