What is an open system?

Back

An open system is one where matter and energy can enter and leave the system.

Front

What are solid particles like?

Back

Solid particles are closely packed together and vibrate in place.

Front

What are liquid particles like?

Back

Liquid particles are close together but can move past each other, allowing liquids to flow.

Front

What are gas particles like?

Back

Gas particles are far apart and move freely, filling the space available.
