• What is the fixed volume property of solids?

  Solids have a fixed volume in the same space
• What shape do solids maintain?

  Solids have a fixed shape
• What is the density characteristic of solids?

  Solids have high density
• Why do solids not flow?

  Because their particles are in fixed positions
• Can solids be compressed or squashed?

  No, solids cannot be compressed or squashed
• How are particles arranged in solids?

  Particles are in fixed positions and regular patterns
• How do particles in solids move?

  Particles vibrate in fixed positions
• What is an example of a solid?

  Steel
• What happens to particles when substances are heated?

  Particles vibrate more and move slightly apart
• What is a property of liquids regarding volume?

  Liquids have a fixed volume
• How do liquids fill containers?

  Liquids have no fixed shape and fill the bottom
• Can liquids flow?

  Yes, liquids can flow
• What is the density characteristic of liquids?

  Liquids have high density
• Can liquids be compressed or squashed?

  No, liquids cannot be compressed or squashed
• How are particles arranged in liquids?

  Particles are not in fixed positions and have more space
• How do particles in liquids move?

  Particles can move past each other

  Yes, gases can be compressed
• How are particles arranged in gases?

  Particles are far apart and move very fast
• How do particles in gases move?

  Particles move very fast in all directions
• What is an example of a gas?

  Oxygen
• What happens to gas particles when heated?

  Particles move faster as gas gets hotter
• What is the process of melting?

  Solid turns into liquid when heated
• What happens to particles during melting?

  Particles gain heat energy and vibrate faster
• What is the process of freezing?

  Liquid turns into solid when cooled
• What happens to particles during freezing?

  Particles lose heat energy and vibrate slower
• What is the process of condensation?

  Gas turns into liquid when cooled
• What happens to particles during condensation?

  Particles lose heat energy and come closer together

  Liquid turns into gas when heated
• What happens to particles during evaporation?

  Particles gain heat energy and move faster
• What is sublimation?

  Solid turns directly into gas without becoming liquid
• What is an example of a substance that can sublime?

  Iodine
• What happens to particles during sublimation?

  Particles gain heat energy and move faster
• What is Brownian motion?

  Random motion of particles due to collisions
• What causes diffusion?

  Particles colliding and spreading out in all directions
• What is diffusion?

  The spreading out of gas particles
