Liquids and Solids By: Andrew Royek Science 6 -1

Solids Solid particles are packed together very closely. Usually there is a regular pattern.

Solids Solid particles vibrate but can’t move from place to place. Solids are referred to as condensed phases because particles are really close together.

Solids retain a fixed volume and a fixed shape. Solid particles are locked into place. This wooden dresser has solid particles that can’t move.

Solids They are not easily compressible. There is little space between particles.

Solids They do not flow easily. Particles can’t move past each other.

Liquids Liquid particles are close together but they have no regular arrangement. Liquid particles also vibrate move around and slide past each other.

Liquids assume the shape of the part of the container that it occupies. Liquids are not easily compressible.

Liquids Liquid particles have little free space between them. Liquids flow really easily. Liquid particles can slide past each other. This water in the liquid state, easily takes the shape of the glass cup it is being poured into.

Gases Particles in a gases are spread out and have no arrangement. Particles in a gas also vibrate and move at very high speeds. Gas particles are very spread out and there is rarely a collision of particles.

Gases assume the volume of its container. It also assumes the shape of its container. Particles have enough space to move past each other.
