Solids |
--Solids have a definite shape. (The shape does not change unless force is put upon it.) --Solids have a definite volume (The volume does not change unless a piece of the shape is removed.) --The attraction between the particles in a solid is stronger than the attraction between particles in any other state of matter. *Each particle is locked in place by the particles around it. --Because the particles are so strongly attracted, they are able to move only slightly. (This movement is a vibration.) --There are two types of solids: 1. Crystalline 2. Amorphous -- |

Liquids |
--Liquids do not have a definite shape. (Liquids take the shape of the container they are in.) --Liquids have a definite volume. (The volume does not change unless some of the liquid is removed.) --The particles in a liquid move fast enough to overcome some of the attraction between them. (The particles slide past each other until they take the shape of the container they are in). |
|
Liquids --Surface Tension |
Surface tension causes some liquids to form spherical drops. (The lower the surface tension, the flatter the drop will be). |
|
Liquids --Viscosity |
Viscosity is a liquid's resistance to flow. (The higher the viscosity, the slower it will flow.) |
|
Gases |
--Gases do not have a definite shape. (Gases take the shape of the container they are in). --Gases do not have definite volume. (The particles move so quickly that they break away from each other.) --The particles in gases have less attraction than the particles of any other state of matter. (The amount of empty space can change because the particles are always moving.) |
