states of matter

• solids?

  • particles in regular arrangements (lattice) and vibrate around in fixed positions
  • cannot be compressed
• liquids?

  • particles have no regular arrangements, their able to move past each other
  • cannot be compressed
• Gas's?

  • particles are far apart, moving randomly at fast speeds(high energy)
  • can be compressed
• solid into liquid ?

  melting
• liquid into gas?

  evaporation / boiling
• gas into liquid?

  Condensation
• liquid to solid?

  Freezing / solidification
• solid to gas?

  Sublimation
• energy (Heat) is needed to overcome the (electrostatic) forces of attraction between particles to melt / evaporate
• "s"?

  solid
• "g"?

  gas
• "L"?

  Liquid
• "aq" ?

  aqueous
