- states of matter
- particle model
- explains state changes in a substance in terms of the arrangement, movements and energy stored in it's particles.
- Liquid
- movement of particles
- moving around each other
- takes the shape of the container
- arrangement of particles
- random and close together
- can not compress medium density
- movement of particles
- Solid
- movement of particles
- vibrates about fixed positions
- fixed shape
- arrangement of particles
- regular and close together
- cannot compress
- movement of particles
- Gas
- arrangement of particles
- random and far apart
- can compress low density
- arrangement of particles
- predictions of the state of a substance
- you need to know it's temperature, melting point and boiling point
- if the temperature is:
- below the melting point, the substance is solid
- between the melting point and boiling point, the substance is solid
- above the boiling point, the substance is gas
- if the temperature is:
- you need to know it's temperature, melting point and boiling point
- particle model
