Anything that has mass and occupies space

Solid LiquidGas

Matter

And has three states

Is

Liquid Gas

Arrangement of particles

Particles are closely packed in an orderly fashion

Particles are farther apart than in a solid

Particles are very far apart

Movement of particles

Vibrate about their mean position

Moves slowly Moves rapidly

Forces of attraction strong fairly weak very weak

Shape Definite shape Takes the shape of their container

Takes the shape of the entire container

compression Cannot compress Cannot compress Can be compress

Interconversions between the states

of matter

Interconversions between the three states of

matter

Osmosis is the movement of particles from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution through a selectively permeable membrane

Diffusion is the movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration until the particles are evenly distributed.

4. Compare the three states of matter based on arrangement of their particles and interparticle forces.
