(36 cards)
Gas-Particle distance
far apart
Solid-Particle distance
closest
Liquid- Particle distance
Close
Gas-Constant Motion
Rapid Random
Liquid-Constant Motion
slow, move around each other
Solid-Constant Motion
fixed Position Vibrate
Gas-Volume (fill container?)
fill container, will adjust to fill the room, aka change volume depending on the room space
Liquid-Volume
Fixed Volume
Solid-Volume
Fixed Volume
What is Fixed Volume?
Constant Volume where the State of matter will not change its volume under any changes in condition (the size of the container)
What is Diffusion?
The process of movement of a substance (solid, liquid, or gas) from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration to spread uniformly
(Flow)
Gas-Rate of Diffusion (Flow)
Rapid
Liquid-Rate of Diffusion (Flow)
Slow
Solid-Rate of Diffusion (Flow)
Extremely slow, only at surface
What is Density?
Mass/Volume
What is Volume?
The amount of space something takes up
What is Mass?
A measure of the amount of matter in an object
Gas-Density
Low
Liquid-Density
high
Solid-Density
High
Gas-Particle Arrangement and motion
Disordered random
Liquid-Particle Arrangement and motion
More order
Solid-Particle Arrangement and motion
ordered fixed pattern
Gas-Compressibility
high
