The particulate nature of matter
states of matter
liquid
packed closely together, in disorderly arrangement (no fixed, regular pattern)
strong force of attraction
able to move about freely, slide past one another
higher energy than the particles in solid state
has defined volume, no defined shap, lower density than solid, cannot compress
gas
far apart from one another, disorderly arrangement ( no fixed, regular pattern)
very weak forces of attraction
able to move freely, move rapidly in all directions
highest energy
no defined shape & volume, occupies the largest volume lower density, can compress
solid
packed very closely together, in orderly arrangement (fixed regular position)
very strong attraction
unable to move about freely, vibrate and rotate about their fixed pistions
lowest enegy
has definite shape & volume, smallest volume, highest density,m cannot compress
expansion
when matter is heated, the volume of matter increases
thermal energy gained by particles converts to internal kinetic energy
due to greater kinetic energy, particles move faster, resulting in the spaces between the particles to increase
particles move further apart from one another
contraction
when matter is cooled, volume of matter decreases, as particles lose thermal energy
particles move lesser kinetic energy which results to space between particles to decrease
particles move closer to one another
