Properies of 3 states of matter
Flashcards do conjunto (3)
- 1SOLID-Has a definite shape and volume
-Rigid, cannot be compressed easily
-Molecules vibrate
-Does not diffuse into another solid easily
-does not flow
-can be stored in a container
-on heating usually changes to liquid state (eg. ice to water) - 2LIQUID-Can flow easily
-Can change shape depending on area
-Volume stays the same
-On heating changes to gas state (eg. water to water vapour)
-On cooling can turn into solid state (eg. water to ice)
-molecules bounce around - 3GAS-Has no definite shape or volume
-Expands to fill its area
-Diffuses with other gases easily
-Has no surface of its own
-On cooling changes to liquid state (eg. water vapour to water)
-Molecules move rapidly, are spread apart.
