### States of Matter Because in the solid and liquid states particles are closer together, we refer to them as condensed phases. | State | Particle arrangement | |---|---| | Gas | Total disorder, much empty space, particles have complete freedom of motion, particles far apart | | Liquid | Disorder, particles or clusters of particles are free to move relative to each other, particles close together | | Crystalline solid | Ordered arrangement, particles are essentially in fixed positions, particles close together | ### Let's Do This! Rearrange the following words to form the definition of kinetic molecular theory: * The kinetic molecular theory is a model used to explain the behavior of matter.
