what is the arrangement of solids?
regularly in a lattice
what is the particle separation for solids?
tightly packed
what is the particle motion for solids?
can vibrate about their fixed positions
what is the arrangement of liquids?
randomly arranged
what is the particle separation for liquids?
close together (touching but still well apart)
what is the particle motion for liquids?
Particles move over one another
what is the arrangement of gases?
randomly arranged
what is the particle separation for gases?
well separated
what is the particle motion for gases?
moving randomly at high speeds
what does the kinetic particle theory say?
all matter is made of tiny particles (atoms, molecules, ions )
what happens when particles are boiling?
they gain kinetic energy and move very fast causing them to break away from each other
what happens when particles are going through condensation ?
they lose kinetic energy, start moving slowly and set close to each other
what happens when particles are diffusing?
particles move from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration
what happens when particles are melting
they gain kinetic energy, vibrate and then break off their fixed positions
what happens when particles are evaporating
The molecules move and vibrate so quickly that they escape into the atmosphere
what happens when particles are freezing
particles lose kinetic energy, move slowly and set close to each other until they can only vibrate about in their fixed positions
