What are the properties used to describe each state of matter?

Flow, shape, volume and density.

1 of 9

What is the arrangement of particles in a solid?

The particles in a solid are held next to each other, vibrating in their fixed positions, so they have a fixed shape.

2 of 9

What is the arrangement of particles in a liquid?

The particles in a liquid move about at random and are in contact with each other but can move about at random, so a liquid doesn't have a fixed shape and can flow.

3 of 9

What is the arrangement of particles in a gas?

The particles in a gas move about randomly, are much faster and are much farther apart than particles in a solid or liquid. A gas doesn't have a fixed shape and can flow and the density of a gas is much less than that of a solid or liquid.

4 of 9

What are the three states of matter?

Solid, liquid and gas.

5 of 9

How can we make a substance change between these states?

By heating or cooling.

6 of 9

How is the arrangement of the particles in a liquid different from that in a solid?

The particles in a liquid are in contact with each other but are not held in fixed positions like those in a solid.

7 of 9

How is the arrangement of the particles in a gas different from that in a liquid?

The particles in a gas are ,such farther apart and move around much faster than those in a liquid.
