  • 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
    • Solid
      • movement of particles
        • vibrates about fixed positions
        • fixed shape
      • arrangement of particles
        • regular and close together
        • cannot compress
    • Gas
      • arrangement of particles
        • random and far apart
        • can compress low density
    • 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
