Properties of solids & liquids

Solids have...

• definite volume

• indefinite volume

Which state of matter has particles with the least kinetic energy?

• Gas

• Liquid

• Plasma

• Solid

What gives each state of matter its properties (characteristics)?

• particle movement

• color of particles

• particle shape

• size of particles

The particles in a solid...

• vibrate in place

• are perfectly still

• move around but stay close together

• move around in all directions and have lots of empty space between them

The particles in a liquid...

• vibrate in place

• are perfectly still

• move around but stay close together

• move around in all directions and have lots of empty space between them

This model shows the particles of a....

• solid

• liquid

• gas

• plasma

Liquids have...

• definite volume

• indefinite volume

How does the kinetic energy of particles in a solid compare to that in a liquid?

• Same in both

• Lower in solids

• Varies randomly

• Higher in solids

This model shows the particles of a....

• solid

• liquid

• gas

• plasma

A solid holds its shape because...

• the particles increase in number

• the particles vibrate but are locked in place

• the particles can only trade places

• the particles move around at a good distance slowly
