10 Questions
Particles can only be atoms, not molecules or ions.
False
The particle model can explain the differences between solids, liquids, and gases.
True
Solids can be easily compressed or squashed due to the particles being close together.
False
The particles in solids move by freely flowing around each other.
False
Water exists as a solid, liquid, and gas.
True
Solids can be easily compressed or squashed due to the particles being close together.
False

True
Study Notes
Particles and States of Matter
- Almost everything is made of particles, which can be atoms, molecules, or ions.
- Particles behave differently in solids, liquids, and gases.
- The particle model explains the differences between solids, liquids, and gases.
Solids
- Many materials are solid, including paper, bricks, wood, metal, and ice.
- Particles in solids are very close together and cannot usually be compressed or squushed.
- Forces of attraction between particles hold them together and keep them in place.
- Particles in solids are arranged in a regular way.
- Particles in solids move only by vibrating about a fixed position, giving solids a fixed shape.
Water
- Water exists as a solid, liquid, and gas.
- Solid water is also known as ice.
- Gaseous water is also known as water vapor.
