₊˚ෆ states of matter ₊˚ෆ

• The kinetic energy of particles increases as temperature rises.
• What is the structure of a solid?

  Regular & fixed lattice structure. It has definite shape & volume.
• Do liquids hold forces of attractions?

  Yes but they are WEAK forces of attractions.
• Describe the structure of a liquid.

  They are tightly packed, however, they are far enough apart to slide over each other. They also take up the size of their container.
• Do gases have forces of attractions?

  Yes but they are VERY weak.
• What is the process where a solid turns into a liquid?

  Melting/liquefying
• What is the process called where a liquid turns into a gas?

  Evaporation/boiling.
• What is the process called when a gas turns into a liquid?

  Condensation/liquefying too.
• What is the process when a liquid transforms into a solid?


  Solidification, freezing.
• What is it called when a solid turns into a gas?


  Sublimation
• What does the term 'aqueous' mean?


  mixture made by adding a soluble substance to water.
• What is the kinetic theory?


  Particles in a substance are in constant motion and the temperature of a substance is related to the average kinetic energy of its particles.
