Study Notes
States of Matter: Liquid, Gas, and Solid
- Liquids have particles that touch each other, held together weakly.
- Heat gives particles more energy, enabling some to escape into the gaseous state (evaporation/boiling).
- Gas particles are free to move in any direction, no forces holding them together.
- Gases become liquids through condensation, when particles lose energy and are attracted to each other.
- Liquid particles can move and flow, but as heat energy is removed, they move slower.
- When a liquid's particles lose enough energy, they vibrate in a fixed pattern, becoming a solid.
