5.8 describe the arrangement and motion of particles in solids, liquids and gases
Features | Solid | Liquid | Gas |
---|---|---|---|
Arrangement | Regular | Irregular | Random |
Movement | Cannot move, vibrate only | Particles can move throughout the liquid slight past each other | The particles have the most kinetic energy |
Energy of Particles | Particles have least kinetic energy | Particles have more kinetic energy than solid | The particles have the most kinetic energy |
Distance between Particles | Closely packed | Not closely packed | Far apart |
Shape | 3d Structure | Takes the shape of the container | No fixed shape |
