  • States of Matter
    • Solid
      • Arrangement of Particles: close together; regular pattern
      • Movement of Particles: vibrate about fixed positions
      • Relative energy of particles: least stored energy
    • Liquids
      • Arrangement of Particles: close together; random
      • Movement of Particles: move around each other
      • Relative energy of particles: middle inbetween solids and liquids
    • Gas
      • Arrangement of Particles: far apart; random
      • Movement of Particles: fast in all directions
      • Relative energy of particles: most stored energy
    • State Changes
      • Gas -> liquid = condensing
      • Liquid -> Solid = freezing
      • Gas -> Solid = deposition
      • Solid -> Liquid = melting
      • Liquid -> Gas = evaporating or boiling
      • Solid -> Gas = sublimation
      • During a state change: energy is transferred to or from the particles; the arrangement of paticles change; the movement of particles changes
