CHAPTER 7:
KINETIC MODEL OF MATTER
there are 3 states of matter. SOLID, LIQUID, GAS.
Solid- Fixed shape
- Fixed Volume
- High Density
- Not compressible
Solids are closely packed together.
They are in a regular pattern, taking up only a little space
thus, they have high density
Solids vibrate about their own fixed positions ONLY.
Therefore they have fixed volume and shape:)
Liquid- Fixed volume
- No fixed shape
- High density
- Not compressible
Liquids are arranged randomly,
therefore resulting in relatively high density
They are free to move about but are confined within the limited space
They have attractive forces between each particle
Therefore they do not have fixed shape BUT have fixed volume
Gas- No fixed shape
- No fixed volume
- Low Denisty
- Compressible
They are arrange in such a way that they are very far apart from each other.
They are randomly arranged and will take up any space there is.
Therefore, they have a low density.
The particles have little attraction between them. They move about RANDOMLY at high speed.
Thus, they have no fixed shape or volume, and they are highly compressible.
Brownian Motion- occurs only in fluids
- it is a random or irregular motion of smoke particles in air
