states of matter
What are the states of matter
Solid, liquid, and gas
What is the kinetic energy in a solid like?
solids are tightly packed and vibrate in place, they have the lowest kinetic energy.
what are the particles like in a solid?
Compact, and don't have much space to move.
What is the kinetic energy in liquids like?
Particles in liquids have moderate kinetic energy and are less tightly packed than in solids. They have more freedom of movement than particles in solids.
what are the particles like in a liquid?
close together, always moving, and can slide past one another
what is the kinetic energy in gases like?
The kinetic energy of molecules is highest in gases because molecules in gases have more space between them and they observe the less force on each other and move with higher velocity and due to higher velocity in the process higher energy.
what are the particles in gas like?
very little attraction to each other. they bounce off of each other.
What would the states of matter be like without kinetic energy?
solid
is there another state of matter?
plasma
as kinetic energy increases, what increases with it?
thermal energy
