Describe the arrangement and relative energy of particles in solids.

Solids are in a regular arrangement and are close together. They vibrate about a fixed position and have little energy.

1 of 10

Describe the arrangement and relative energy of particles in liquids.

Liquids are in a random arrangement and are close together. They move around each other and have more energy. Liquids take the shape of the container.

2 of 10

Describe the arrangement and relative energy of particles in gases.

Gases are in a random arrangement and are far apart. They move fast in all directions and have lots of energy. Gases fill the container.
