What are the three states of matter?
Solid, liquid, gas
What are all things around us made of?
Particles
Describe the particle arrangement in solids
Regular arrangement, touching
Describe the particle arrangement in liquids
Random arrangement, touching
Describe the particle arrangement in gases
Random arrangement, not touching
How do particles in a solid move?
Vibrate on the spot
How do the particles in liquids move?
Moving over each other randomly
How do the particles in gases move?
Randomly in every direction until bumping into each other or their container
Give two properties of gases
Can flow, can be compressed
Give two properties of liquids
Can flow, cannot be compressed
Give two properties of solids
Cannot flow, cannot be compressed
Why can’t solids flow?
There are strong forces between the particles
Why can liquids and gases flow?
There are weak forces between the particles
Why can gases be compressed?
There is space between the particles
Why can’t solids and liquids be compressed?
The particles are already touching
