What is the arrangement of particles in a solid?
Particles in a solid are closely packed together in a fixed arrangement.
True or False: In liquids, particles are arranged in a fixed position.
False
Fill in the blank: The particles in gases are _____ compared to those in solids and liquids.
far apart
What type of shape do solids have?
Solids have a definite shape.
How do particles move in a liquid?
Particles in a liquid can slide past each other.
What is the primary characteristic of gas particles?
Gas particles move freely and fill the entire volume of their container.
What happens to the arrangement of particles when a solid melts?
The particles become less tightly packed and start to move more freely.
True or False: Liquids have a definite volume but no definite shape.
True
What is the arrangement of particles in a gas?
Particles in a gas are arranged far apart and move independently.
Fill in the blank: The state of matter where particles are tightly packed and vibrate in place is called _____
solid
What determines the state of matter of a substance?
The arrangement and movement of its particles.
What occurs during condensation?
Gas particles lose energy and come together to form a liquid.
True or False: In a liquid, particles are arranged randomly.
True
What happens to gas particles when the temperature increases?
They move faster and spread apart.
Fill in the blank: The arrangement of particles in liquids is _____ than in solids but more ordered than in gases.
less ordered
What is the primary factor that affects the state of matter?
Temperature and pressure.
Multiple Choice: Which state of matter takes the shape of its container?

How does increasing pressure affect gas particles?
It compresses them closer together.
True or False: Solids can flow like liquids.
False
What is the term for the change from liquid to gas?
Evaporation
How do particles behave in a solid when heated?
They vibrate more vigorously but remain in fixed positions.
True or False: Liquids can be compressed significantly.
