Liquids and Solids

By: Andrew RoyekScience 6-1

SolidsSolid particles are packed together very closely.

Usually there is a regular pattern.

SolidsSolid particles vibrate but can’t move from place to place.

Solids are referred to as condensed phases because particles are really close together.

SolidsSolids retain a fixed volume and a fixed shape.

Solid particles are locked into place.This wooden dresser has solid particles that can’t move.

Solids They are not easily compressible.

There is little space between particles.

SolidsThey do not flow easily.

Particles can’t move past each other.

LiquidsLiquid particles are close together but they have no regular arrangement.

Liquid particles also vibrate move around and slide past each other.

LiquidsLiquids assume the shape of the part of the container that it occupies.

Liquids are not easily compressible.

LiquidsLiquid particles have little free space between them.

Liquids flow really easily.

Liquid particles can slide past each other.

This water in the liquid state, easily takes the shape of the glass cup it is being poured into.

GasesParticles in a gases are spread out and have no arrangement.

Particles in a gas also vibrate and move at very high speeds.

Gas particles are very spread out and there is rarely a collision of particles.

GasesGases assume the volume of its container. It also assumes the shape of its container.

Particles have enough space to move past each other.
