New cards
density = mass/volume
Equation for density

New cards
* In a solid: * The particles are **closely packed** * The particles **vibrate** about fixed positions
\ * Solids have: * A definite **shape** (they are **rigid**) * A definite **volume**
Density in a solid

New cards
* In a liquid: * The particles are **closely packed** * The particles can **flow** over one another
\ * Liquids have: * No definite shape – they are able to **flow** and will take the shape of a container * A definite **volume**
Density in a liquid

New cards
\ * In a gas: * The particles are **far apart** * The particles move **randomly**
\ * Gases have: * No definite shape * No fixed volume * \ * Gases are highly **compressible**, this is because: * There are large **gaps** between the particles * It is easier to **push** the particles closer together than in solids or liquids
