What are the three states of matter
solid, liquid and gas
what are all things made up of
particles
describe the arrangement of particles in a solid
regular arrangement, touching
describe the arrangement of particles in a liquid
random arrangement, touching
describe the arrangement of particles in a gas
random arrangement, not touching
give two properties of a gas
can flow, can be compressed
give two properties of solid
can’t flow, can’t be compressed
give two properties of a liquid
can flow, can’t be compressed
why can solids not flow
there are strong forces of attraction between the particles
why can gases be compressed
there is space between the particles
what is kinetic theory
that all particles are moving
what happens to particles when you heat them up
they move faster
what piece of apparatus is used to measure the change in temperature
thermometer
what happens to the temperature of a substance while it changes states
it stays the same
