What does change of state mean? 

Can you name one of the change of states? 

When a state of matter changes to another state

500

When is the theory called that explains how particles move? 


Double the points if you can describe how the particles move in each state of matter.

Kinetic Molecular Theory 


Gas- Move freely, spread apart, collide 

Liquid- Some room to move around, attracted to each other 

Solid- Bound together, no movement

Convection 

500

The change of state from a gas to a solid
