Solids
Fixed Shape
Particles cannot move.
Cannot be compressed
No space for particles to move into
Liquids
Flow and take shape of container
Particles can move around each other.
Cannot be compressed
Particles are close togethyer and so have no space to move
Gases
Flow and Fill
Particles move quickly in all directions
Can be compressed
Space for particles to move into
Conduction
Anotações:
Metals are good conductors of heat, but non metals are insulators.

Conduction in metals
Free Electrons
Anotações:
Electrons in a metal can lave the atom and move around freely. The free or delocalised electrons help transfer heat energy from the hotter part of the metal to the cooler part.
Ions
Anotações:
The bit of the atom left behind becomes a metal ion. The ions are packed closely together and vibrate continually, transferring the energy.
