What are the three states of matter discussed in the video?
Solid
,
liquid
, and gas
View source
What model is used to explain the behavior of particles in different states of matter?
Particle theory
or
kinetic theory
View source
How are particles in solids described in the particle theory?
As small solid
inelastic
spheres
View source
What holds the particles in a solid together?
Strong
forces
of attraction
View source
What structure do particles in solids form?
A regular
lattice
structure
View source
Why do solids have a definite shape and volume?
Particles are fixed in
position
View source
What happens to particles in a solid when heated?
They
gain
energy
and
vibrate
more
View source
What is the temperature called at which a solid melts?
Melting point
View source
What characterizes the forces of attraction in liquids?
They are
weak
View source
How are particles arranged in a liquid?
Pretty
randomly
View source
Why do liquids have a definite volume?
Particles
tend to stick
together
View source
What happens to particles in a liquid when heated?
They
gain
energy
and
move
faster
View source
What is the temperature called at which a liquid boils?
Boiling point
View source
What happens to particles in a gas regarding their movement?
They are free to move around
View source
Why do gases not have a definite shape or volume?
They fill the
container
they are in
View source
What does random motion of gas particles mean?
Particles can travel in any
direction
View source
What happens to gas particles when heated?
They gain
energy
and travel faster
View source
What occurs if a gas is in an expandable container when heated?
The gas will
expand
View source
What happens to gas particles when cooled down sufficiently?
They
condense
into a
liquid
View source
What happens to liquid particles when cooled further?
They
freeze
into a
solid
View source
What is the relationship between changes in state and mass in a closed system?
Mass
remains
the same
View source
How does the density of solids compare to liquids and gases?
Solids
have the
highest density
View source
What is the density order of the three states of matter?
Solids
>
Liquids
>
Gases
View source
What happens to the number of particles during a change of state?
The
number
of
particles
stays
the
same
View source
What is the effect of temperature on the energy of particles in different states?
Higher
temperature
increases
particle energy
