Particle Theory

1. Solids

   • Properties of a solid
     • The particles are close together
     • The particles are arranged in a regular pattern
     • The particles are held together by bonds
     • They vibrate in a fixed position
     • The particles cannot move around

2. Liquids

   • Properties of a liquid
     • The particles are close together but able to move around
     • The particles are arranged in a random way

3. Gases

   • Properties of gas
     • The particles are far apart
     • The particles are arranged in a random way
     • The particles move quickly in all directions
