has a definite shape and volume
solid
describe the particles in a solid
packed very closely together, tightly fixed in 1 position
solids that are made up of crystals
crystalline solids
how do crystalline solids melt
distinct temps
what do particles form in many solids
regular repeating pattern
what are examples of solids which form regular repeating patterns; Crystalline solids
salt, sugar, and snow
the particles are not arranged in a regular pattern
amorphous solid
at what point do amorphous solids melt
not distinct temps
what are examples of amorphous solids
gels, glass, plastics, rubber,
has a definite volume but no shape of its own
liquid
describe particle movement in liquids
they move around 1 another freely
what does going to a different state of matter require
thermal energy
substance that flows can be liquid or gas
fluid
an inward force/pull, among the molecules in a liquid that brings the molecules on the surface closer together
surface tension
the attraction between molecules of the same substance
cohesion
the attraction between molecules of different substances
adhesion
what is an example of cohesion
water molecules attracting together
what is an example of adhesion
glue, tape, water dripping on the side of a bucket
a liquids resistence to flowing
viscosity
what does a liquids viscosity depend on
shape and size of its particles and the attractions between the particles
what does a high viscosity mean
flows slowly
what does a low viscosity mean
flows fast
what is an example of high viscosity liquids
honey
what is an example of low viscosity liquids
water
