Solid state particles

Particles in a solid are tightly packed and vibrate in place.

Liquid state particles

Particles in a liquid are loosely packed and can flow.

Gas state particles

Particles in a gas are widely spaced and move freely.

Study Notes

State of Matter

  • Solids have a fixed shape and volume. Particles are tightly packed and vibrate in fixed positions.
  • Liquids have a fixed volume but no fixed shape. Particles are close together but can move around.
  • Gases have no fixed shape or volume. Particles are far apart and move freely in all directions.

Physical Changes

  • A physical change involves a change in the state of matter (solid, liquid, gas), but the substance's chemical makeup remains the same.
  • Examples of physical changes include melting, freezing, evaporation, condensation, sublimation and dissolving

Molecular Structure of Glucose

  • Glucose contains 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms.

Reaction Rates and Temperature

  • Increasing the temperature of a reaction increases the rate of reaction.
  • Higher temperatures cause particles to move faster, leading to more frequent and energetic collisions between molecules. These collisions result in more successful reactions.
