New cards

Particle Theory

all matter is made of tiny particles, and they are constantly moving

3
New cards

Solid

  • Has a fixed shape and fixed volume

  • They are constantly vibrating

  • Particles are highly attracted to each other, allowing it to keep its shape and not spread

  • Cannot be compressed easily, because not enough space between particles


4
New cards

Liquid

  • Has a fixed volume, but not a fixed shape

  • Particles are attracted to each other, but still have room to move past each other

  • Liquid takes shape of its container

  • Liquid cannot be compressed because there is not enough space between particles


5
New cards

Gas

  • Weakly attracted to each other

  • Particles have large spaces and constantly moving in all directions

  • Neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume

  • Gases spread out to fill the container

  • Can be compressed because there is space between the particles

  • Force of gas particles on the walls of their container is called gas pressure
