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
