What are particles like in a solid
Very close together, regular pattern, vibrate in a fixed position, low energy
What are particles like in a liquid
Close together, randomly arranged, move around each other, greater energy
What are particles like in a gas
Far apart, randomly arranged, move quickly in all directions, highest energy
What are solids like
Fixed shape and cannot flow because their particles cannot move, cannot be compressed because their particles are close together and gave no space to move to
What are liquids like
Flow and take the shape of their container because their particles can move around each other, cannot be compressed as their particles have no where to move to as they are close together
What are gases like
Flow and completely fill container because their particles can freely move, can be compressed as their particles are far apart and can move
What is it called when a gas turns into a solid without becoming a liquid first (or vice versa)
Sublimation
In which reactions does energy get transferred from the substance to the surondings
Condensation and freezing because the forces of attraction between atoms in stronger
Why is energy transferred to a substance to change its state (melting, evaporating, boiling)
To break some of the bonds between the particles (melting), or to overcome the remaining forces of attraction between particles (evaporating and boiling)
