I can explain the states of matter and their particle arrangements.
I can evaluate the states of matter.
▪ PARTICLES TIGHTLY PACKED TOGETHER
▪ RETAINS OWN SHAPE
▪ THE PARTICLES ARE NOT ABLE TO MOVE AROUND A LOT
▪ THE PARTICLES ARE STUCK IN A SPECIFIC ARRANGEMENT
▪ SHAPE CANNOT BE EASILY CHANGED
▪ HAVE A FIXED VOLUME
▪ HIGH DENSITY MATTER
▪ PARTICLES CLOSE TOGETHER BUT FREE TO MOVE
▪ TAKES ON SHAPE OF CONTAINER (DUE TO GRAVITY)
▪ LIQUID HAS A (ALMOST) FIXED VOLUME, BUT NO SET SHAPE
▪ THE ATTRACTION BETWEEN PARTICLES IN A LIQUID KEEPS THE
VOLUME OF THE LIQUID CONSTANT.
▪ CANNOT BE EASILY COMPRESSED
▪ MEDIUM DENSITY
▪ PARTICLES WELL SEPARATED
▪ TAKES ON SHAPE AND FILLS CONTAINER
▪ CAN ALSO BE CALLED ‘VAPOUR’
▪ TAKES ON THE SHAPE OF A CONTAINER AND ALSO FILLS THE
AVAILABLE SPACE
▪ CAN BE COMPRESSED
▪ LOW DENSITY MATTER
