Gases

  • gas molecules are far apart
  • gas molecules move in a rapid, random manner
  • gas particles touch only when they rebound and collide
  • gas is a lighter version of liquid
  • gas particles move everywhere
  • gases cannot be seen by the naked human eye
  • most gases are evaporated liquids
  • gases do not keep their volume

Liquids

  • many liquid molecules touch each other
  • many liquid molecules would have one particle on the right but none on the left
  • solid molecules move in a random manner
  • liquid particles move but not as much as gas particles
  • liquids do not have shape
  • liquids keep their volume

Solids

  • solid molecules touch each other
  • solid molecules move in a regular pattern
  • solid particles vibrate rather than move
  • solids have shape and volume
