Very small force of attraction
large force of attraction
force of attraction
How do the particles move in a gas?
only vibrate around their normal positions
move quickly in any direction within their container
move around in any direction within the liquid
the theory that explains the states of matter is the kinetic theory
Properties of solids
random arrangement
often strong
regular lattice
no definite shape
very dense
low density
particles in fixed position
can't be compressed
Which state of matter is the strongest?
Liquids
Solids
Gases
A liquid has the least particles in a given volume
Gas would have the most energy
which state would water be at -10 degrees?
Solid
Liquid
Gas
Why is it difficult to squash liquds?
they are liquidy
their particles are already close together
they can move around easily
