Arrangement Of Molecules In The Three States Of Matter

Check us out at http://www.tutorvista.com//videos
Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of microscopic particles, but the behaviors of these particles differ in the three phases. The following figure illustrates the microscopic differences.
ogas are well separated with no regular arrangement.
oliquid are close together with no regular arrangement.
osolid are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern.
ogas vibrate and move freely at high speeds.
oliquid vibrate, move about, and slide past each other.
osolid vibrate (jiggle) but generally do not move from place to place.
•Liquids and solids are often referred to as condensed phases because the particles are very close together..
Gas : Assumes the shape and volume of its container - particles can move past one another : compressible - lots of free space between particles : flows easily Particles can move past one another

Liquid : Assumes the shape of the part of the container which it occupies Paritcles can move/slide past one another. : not easily compressible little free space between particles : flows easily- particles can move/slide past one another
Solid : Retains a fixed volume and shape. Rigid particles locked into place : not easily compressible little free space between particles : does not flow easily rigid - particles cannot move/slide past one another

@Dathinkingman According to the kinetic particle theory,the solid particles vibrate and rotate about their fixed positions.Therefore,you'll see them vibrating.

Peace :)

why are the solid atoms still moving? are they revolving ?

@apologeticacatolica true that. Were should I get help? 6this fucking website only lives me with more doubts

[apologeticacatolica]

I went onto this website for help, they are worthless. Not recommended

this video teaches us more about the 3 states of matter.
