1
Arrangement and movement of particles in a solid
definite shape and volume, packed tightly, little energy
vibrate in place
2
Arrangement and Movement of particles in a Gas
indefinite volume and shape, move freely, no organisation, lots of energy
3
Arrangement and movement of particles in a liquid
random shape, touching each other with movement, a bit of energy, vibrate more than solids
4
solid to liquid
melting, gains energy, begins to vibrate and move around each other
5
solid to gas
sublimation, lots of energy, able to move freely
6
liquid to solid
freezing, lose energy, vibrate less, can be compressed
7
liquid to gas
evaporation, gains energy, vibrates more, particles move freely
8
gas to liquid
condensation, loses energy, vibrate less, still can move
9
gas to solid
deposition, lose energy, vibrate much less, set position
10
