- Do not have a lot of energy or room to vibrate quickly
- Fixed Shape
- Cannot be compressed
- Connected by strong forces of attraction
Liquid
- Flow reasonably easily and can be poured
- Particles have room to move
- Connected by weak forces of attraction
- Take the shape of a container
- Cannot be compressed
Gas
- Spread out and move quickly
- Connected by almost no forces of attraction
- Particles have enough energy to overcome forces of attraction
- Fills the container
- Can be compressed
HEATING AND COOLING
Nota:
More information in Chemistry book
Straight line
- This line is straight because the liquid is
solidifying. The particles of the liquid are
rearranging into a solid, they are overcoming
the forces of attraction between them and
changing state.
Impurities
-Raise the boiling point
-Lower the melting point
DIFFUSION
The net movement particles from an
area of high concentration to an area of
lower concentration
Brownian Motion
Brownian motion explains why particles do
not disperse in straight lines
With brownian motion, you can see wether one has bigger or smaller
