Chem 111 states of matter

States of matter:

The three states of matter are XX, XX, and XX. 

States of matter:

The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. 

Solids:

An example of a solid is your computer

The properties of solids depend on how the XX in solids are XX, in a solid the particles are XX XX in fixed positions and cannot move anywhere.

Solids are XX, cannot be XX, have a XX shape, XX volume, they cannot XX.

Solids:

The properties of solids depend on how the particles in solids are packed, in a solid the particles are closely packed in fixed positions and cannot move anywhere.

Solids are rigid, cannot be squashed, have a fixed shape, fixed volume, they cannot flow. 

Liquids:

An example of a liquid is water, the properties of liquids depend on how the XX are XX. In a liquid the particles are XX packed but not as closely packed as XX, the particles can XX around each other.

Liquids are not XX, they still cannot be XX, they do not have a XX shape, but they do have a XX volume.

If someone orders a pint of beer, they cannot make it two pints by pouring it into different containers. Liquids can flow. 

Liquids:

An example of a liquid is water, the properties of liquids depend on how the particles are packed. In a liquid the particles are closely packed but not as closely packed as solids, the particles can move around each other.

Liquids are not rigid, they still cannot be squashed, they do not have a fixed shape, but they do have a fixed volume.

If someone orders a pint of beer, they cannot make it two pints by pouring it into different containers. Liquids can flow. 

Gases:

An example of a gas is helium,  the properties of gases depend on how the XX are XX.

Unlike solids and liquids, the particles in gases are not XX packed, they are XX XX. As a result, gases are not XX, and can be XX, they do not have a XX shape, no XX volume, they fill the XX XX that they are in. 

Gases:

An example of a gas is helium,  the properties of gases depend on how the particles are packed.

Unlike solids and liquids, the particles in gases are not closely packed, they are far apart. As a result, gases are not rigid, and can be squashed, they do not have a fixed shape, no fixed volume, they fill the whole space that they are in.

Solid (s)

• Shape: XX

• Volume: XX

• Compressibility: XX

• Kinetic Energy: XX; particles only vibrate in place

• Particle Packing: XX XX, touching; cannot move past each other

Solid (s)

• Shape: Fixed

• Volume: Fixed

• Compressibility: Negligible

• Kinetic Energy: Lowest; particles only vibrate in place

• Particle Packing: Tightly packed, touching; cannot move past each other

Liquid (l)

• Shape: Takes the XX of its container, XX fixed

• Volume: XX

• Compressibility: XX

• Kinetic Energy: XX; particles can move and slide past each other

• Particle Packing: XX XX, touching; can move past each other

Liquid (l)

• Shape: Takes the shape of its container, not fixed

• Volume: Fixed

• Compressibility: Low

• Kinetic Energy: Moderate; particles can move and slide past each other

• Particle Packing: Close together, touching; can move past each other

Gas (g)

• Shape: Fills the XX of its container, XX XX

• Volume: XX XX; fills the XX XX

• Compressibility: XX

• Kinetic Energy: XX particles move rapidly and randomly

• Particle Packing:XX XX; not touching most of the time

Gas (g)

• Shape: Fills the shape of its container

• Volume: Not fixed; fills the entire container

• Compressibility: High

• Kinetic Energy: Highest; particles move rapidly and randomly

• Particle Packing: Far apart; not touching most of the time
