Solids |
The particles in a solid are closly packed into position. They can vibrate but do not move from thier position. As a result solids keep there shape and volume. As the particles are in fixed places, solids cannot flow and cannot be compressed (squashed) |
|
|
Liduids |
The particles in liquids are close to wach other but are free to move past each other. They do not tend to stick together, however. Liquids do have a define volume, but will take the shape of whatever container they are placed in. They cannot be easily compressed or squashed |
|
|
Gases |
In gases the particles are free to move in all directions. They do not keep a define shape or volume and always fill the container they are placed in. As the particles are very spread-out it is easy to compressed them into smaller volume |
