Particle model of Matter

?
what is the equation for density
density = mass/ volume
1 of 11
how are the particles arranged in a solid
Particles are packed closely (regular position), held together by strong bonds, vibrate about fixed positions
2 of 11
how are the particles arranged in a liquid
packed closely, bonds weaker than in a solid, particles can move around one another
3 of 11
how are the particles arranged in a gas
separated by large distances, very weak forces between particles, particles move radomly
4 of 11
what is the internal energy of a system
it is the total kinetic and potential energy of all the particles it contains
5 of 11
what factors affect by how much the temperature of the substance will increase
the amount of heat energy, the mass of the substance, the type of material
6 of 11
what is the specific heat capacity
the specific heat capacity of a material is the amount of energy it takes to increase the temperature of 1 kg of that material by 1 degree Celsius
7 of 11
what is specific latent heat
it is the amount of energy needed to change 1 kg of the substance from one state to another with no change in temperature
8 of 11
what is the specific latent heat of fusion
it is the amount of energy needed to change 1 kg of a substance from a solid into a liquid
9 of 11
what is the specific latent heat of vaporisation
it is the amount of energy needed to change 1 kg of a substance from a liquid to a gas
10 of 11
what equation explains the relationship between pressure and volume
p V = constant or p1 V1 = p2 V2
