states of matter Flashcards
(9 cards)
what is the arrangement of particles in a solid
-regular arrangement
-close together
-vibrate in foxed positions
-highest intermolecular force
what is the arrangement of particles in a liquid
-random arrangement
-close together
-flow around each other
what is the arrangement of particles in a gas
-random arrangement
-further apart
-move quickly in all directions
when a substance changes state what happens to the particles
particles stay the same but arrangement and movement changes
what is:
1.gas to liquid
2.solid to gas
3.gas to solid
1.condensation
2. sublimation
3. deposition
what is melting point
melt and freeze at one specific temperature
what is boiling point
boil and condense at one specific temperature
what happens if there’s a strong force of attraction
greater amount of energy needed to overcome them and higher the melting/boiling point will be
what are 3 limitations of the particle model
-forces between particles
-volume of particles
-space between particles
