Question Answer
The kinetic particle theory explains the properties of the different states of matter. The particles in solids, liquids and gases have different amounts of energy.
They have a fixed shape and cannot flow The particles cannot move from place to place
They cannot be compressed or squashed The particles are close together and have no space to move into
They flow and take the shape of their container The particles are free to move around each other
They cannot be compressed or squashed The particles are close together and have no space to move into
They flow and completely fill their container The particles can move quickly in all directions
They can be compressed or squashed The particles are far apart and have space to move into
