Thermal Physics Flashcards
1
Q
describe a solid
A
lattice/crystalline structure, strong forces of attraction, fixed postition, vibration
2
Q
describe a liquid
A
amorphous, less ordered, no fixed shape, some bonds are broken so fewer forces of attraction, centre of vibration moves
3
Q
describe a gas
A
large spacing, expands to fill container, no order, almost all bonds are broken, almost no forces of attraction hence fast random motion, much greater mean speed
