States of Matter- Basic
Liquid
Atoms can slide past each other
Can change shape
Atoms not in regular pattern
Fixed volume
Atoms close together
Medium kinetic energy
Cannot be compressed
Solid
Atoms tightly packed
Fixed shape
Atoms vibrate in position
Fixed volume
Atoms arranged in rows
Least kinetic energy
Cannot be compressed
State Changes
Liquid to solid= Freezing
Solid to gas= Sublimation
Gas to liquid= Condensation
Liquid to gas= Boiling (Evaporation)
Gas to solid= Deposition
Solid to liquid= Melting
Gas
Can change shape
Can change volume
Atoms move freely in all directions
Most kinetic energy
Atoms arranged randomly
Can be compressed
Atoms are well separated
Limitations of basic diagrams
Atoms are mostly empty space
Doesn't account for the forces/bonds between atoms
Atoms not the same size all the time
Interactions between atoms can distort their shapes
