Matter

    • Solid and liquid particles are close together as they can be
    • Gas particles are much further apart than the particles in solids and liquids
    • Solid particles have a strong attraction, meaning that they are held together strongly
    • Liquid particles have a weak attraction, which means their particles are held together loosely
    • Gas particles have no attraction, which means their particles are not held together at all
    • Solid particles vibrate and are not free to move
    • Liquid particles vibrate/translate which means the particles can roll over another
    • Gas particles vibrate/translate/rotate which means their particles are free to move
    • Solids remain a constant shape
    • Solids cannot be poured
    • Liquids and gas take the shape of their container
    • Liquids and gases can be poured
    • Solids do not diffuse
    • Liquids diffuse slowly
    • Gas diffuse quickly
    • Liquids and solids cannot be compressed
    • Gas can be compressed
    • Solids expand a little when heated
    • Liquids expand more when heated
    • Gas expands a lot when heated
    • Gas is the least dense form of matter
    • Liquids and gases exerts pressure in all directions
    • Gases possess the most kinetic energy
    • Solids possess low kinetic energy
    • The process of changing from solid to gas is sublimation
    • The process of changing from gas to solid is deposition
