What is the particle arrangement in a solid?

Back

Particles are closely packed and can't move a lot.

Front

What is the particle arrangement in a liquid?

Back

Particles are close together but can move a little.

Front

What is the particle arrangement in a gas?

Back

Particles have lots of energy and can move around freely.

How do particles behave in a gas compared to a solid?

Back

In a gas, particles move freely and are far apart; in a solid, particles are tightly packed and vibrate in place.

What is diffusion?

Back

The process by which particles spread from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.

Front

What is the kinetic theory of matter?

Back

It states that all matter is made up of particles that are in constant motion.
