state of matter

• Gas particles are far apart, have high speeds, and move randomly.
• The kinetic theory explains the behavior of gases.
• Particles collide with one another and with container walls.
• Pressure is exerted on the container by gas particles.
• In solids, particles vibrate around fixed positions.
• The kinetic energy of gas particles is due to their motion.
• Liquid particles are close together but still able to slide past one another.
• Temperature affects particle motion and energy levels.
• Increasing the temperature increases the average speed of gas particles.
• Increasing temperature increases average speed and energy level of particles.
• Decreasing the volume decreases the distance between gas particles.
• Solids have definite shapes and volumes.
• Solids have definite shapes and volumes.
• Liquid particles are close together but can slide past each other.
• Liquid particles are close together but can slide past each other.
• Solids can be classified as crystalline or amorphous based on their structure.
• Decreasing temperature decreases average speed and energy level of particles.
• Gas particles have high kinetic energy and move rapidly in random directions.
• Gas particles have high kinetic energy and move rapidly in random directions.
• Gas particles have high kinetic energy at higher temperatures.
• Gas particles have high kinetic energy at higher temperatures.
• Particles have more collisions with container walls at higher temperatures.
• Particles have more collisions with container walls at higher temperatures.
• Particles have more collisions with container walls at higher temperatures.
• Gas pressure can be increased by increasing the number or size of collisions between particles.
• Gas pressure can be increased by increasing the number or size of collisions between particles.
• Crystalline solids have regular arrangements of atoms/molecules, while amorphous solids do not.
• Liquids take the shape of their containers.
• Solid particles have low kinetic energy and vibrate in place.
• Pressure is defined as force per unit area, measured in pascals (Pa).
• Examples of crystalline solids include diamond (carbon), quartz (silicon dioxide), and sodium chloride (table salt).
• Particles have more energy at higher temperatures, leading to faster speeds and greater distances traveled during collisions.
• Pressure is caused by the force exerted on an area by gas particles.
• Liquids take on the shape of their container but maintain a constant volume.
• Gas particles are far apart, move quickly, and collide with one another frequently.
• Liquid particles have medium kinetic energy and can flow over one another.
• Gas particles move quickly, randomly, and independently of one another.
• Heating causes an increase in temperature and kinetic energy.
• At high enough temperatures, all substances will eventually become gases.
• Gas molecules are far apart, move rapidly, and occupy large volumes.
