States of Matter

SolidsParticles of solids are tightly packed,vibrating about a fixed position.

Solids have a definite shape and adefinite volume.

Solids have an infinite number of freesurfaces.

Microscopic Explanation for Properties of Liquids

Liquids have an indefinite shape because theparticles can slide past one another.

Liquids are not easily compressible and have adefinite volume because there is little free space

between particles.

Liquids flow easily because the particles canmove/slide past one another.

Microscopic Explanation for Properties of Gases

Gases have an indefinite shape and an indefinitevolume because the particles can move past oneanother.

Gases are easily compressible because there is agreat deal of free space between particles.

Gases flow very easily because the particlesrandomly move past one another.
