Particles and Phases of Matter

To press together, to force into less space.

• Thermal Expansion

• Density

• Compression

• Dissolving

The movement of particles from an area of higher concentration (more particles) to an area of lower concentration. The particles spread out.

• Dissolving

• Diffusion

• Density

• Thermal Expansion

When temperature increases (gets "hotter"), the volume of matter increases (gets bigger).
