describe the strength of forces in the 3 states of matter
solid = strong
liquid = fairly strong
gas = weak
describe the spacing of particles in the 3 states of matter
solid = close
liquid = close
gas = far apart
describe the movement of particles in the 3 states of matter
solid = vibrate in fixed positions
liquid = moves around within the liquid
gas = moves about fast in all directions
describe solids (shape, volume, flow, and about its compression)
keeps their shape and volume they cannot flow and difficult to compressed but could into smaller volume
describe liquid (shape, volume, flow, and about its compression)
keeps their volume but not shape they could flow and are difficult to compress
describe gas (shape, volume, flow, and about its compression)
does not have a fixed shape or volume could flow and easy to compress
why is it difficult to compress solids and liquids
Solids and liquids are hard to compress because their particles are tightly packed together.
why is gas easy to compress
because its particles are far apart and move freely, allowing them to be squeezed closer together easily.
define diffusion
Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, until they are evenly spread out. It happens naturally in gases, liquids, and solids.
define Brownian motion
tiny bits of dust in the air or water can be seen jiggling around as they are hit by the moving air or water particles
define density
Density is the mass of an object per unit volume It tells you how much matter is packed into a given space
how heating and cooling effects materials
Heating makes materials expand because they move or vibrate more and take up more space and cooling makes them contract and move less
define volume
Volume is the amount of space inside an object or substance.
define mass
Mass is the amount of matter in an object, typically measured in kilograms or grams.
how does the density triangle work out mass density and volume (appearance)
The triangle has M (mass) on top and Belows a line then beneath that D (density) on the bottom left and V (volume) on the bottom right to use it you cover the term, and it will show the workings
what is the formulae for density
Density = Mass ÷ Volume
what is the formulae for mass
Mass = Density × Volume
what is the formulae for volume
Volume = Mass ÷ Density
how to choose units for density
choose units based on the size and mass of the object
how to work out the density of a regular shape
work out the mass with scale and volume with W x L x H and do mass divided by volume
how to work out the density of an irregular shape
use water displacement method for volume and use a scale for mas and do mass divide volume
what is gas to liquid called
condensation
what is solid to gas called
sublimation
what is solid to liquid called
melting
