States of matter

Subdecks (1)

What are the three states of matter?
Solid, liquid, gas
In the particle model, how is each particle represented?
By a solid sphere
What do the properties of each state of matter depend on?
The forces between the particles
What are the two types of forces that can be between the particles?
Strong or weak
What are the forces like in a solid?
Strong forces of attraction, this leads to the particles being in a fixed position
What is a property of a solid due to their position?
The have a fixed shape and volume
What is the energy of the particles like in a solid? 
Low since the particles don't have much energy
How do solids move?
On the spot with vibrations
What is the force between the particles like in a liquid?
They have some force of attraction
Why don’t liquids have a defined shape?
They flow and fill the shape of the container instead, however the have a fixed volume
How much energy do the particles in a liquid have?
Some (more than a solid)
How do liquids move?
They move constantly in random motions, the hotter a liquid is, the faster they move.
What are the forces between gas particles like? 
There is little to no force between them
Gases don’t keep a definite shape or volume and will always fill the container  
.
What happens when gas particles bounce off the wall of a container?
They exert pressure on the walls
How much energy do gas particles have?
Lots
How do gas particles move?
Constantly and random
How are the particles in a liquid arranged
Random but all touching
