state of matter

properties of a solid

closely packed, vibrate in a fixed position and regular lattice. Have low energy 

properties of a liquid

closely packed but not regular lattice (irregular), can move past each other. Have more energy than solids 

properties of a gas

particles are far apart, move randomly. Highest energy.

what do I mean by lattice?

a regular 3D (three dimensional) shape of particles

what is melting

when solid turns into liquid

what is boiling

when liquid turns to gas

what is condensation

gas turns to liquid

what is freezing 

when liquid turns into a solid 

what is sublimation

when solid turns into gas

what is deposition

gas turns into a solid

define diffusion

when particles move into a high concentration to low concentration 

why does diffusion not happen in solids 

becuase since they are in a fixed, lattice arrangement, they cannot move freely. 

what is dilution and what happens

when water is added to a coloured solution, when the water is added the concentration spreads through the water particles. Making the liquid less concentrated therefore it loses its colour.

define solvent

Liquid that dissolves in the solute

Define solute

the substance that dissolves the solvent

define solution

the mixture of the solvent and the solute

define saturated solution 

solution that can no longer be dissolved at a certain temperature.
